Robert Heinlein once wrote (On the Writing of Speculative Fiction) that, gimmicks aside, there were only 3 stories that were about people:

Boy meets girl.

The little tailor.

The man who learned better.

Which is Die Hard?

The man who learned better.

How so? Seems to me it's just "the man who kicked lots of ass". He certainly didn't learn better, since John McClane proceeded to find himself in similar situations 3 more times :P

Only if you are referring to John McClane. "The man who learned better" could be Alan Rickman and all the other villains whose ass he kicked.

Watch the movie again and think really hard...
