Stylish and cool Hans Gruber is in Los Angeles as well for the holiday season, but he's not there to give out presents. He's there to take: more than $600 million in negotiable bearer bonds from the multinational Nakatomi Corporation, where McClane's wife Holly is an executive. McClane arrives at his wife's office building and relaxes while she and her fellow employees are having a Christmas party celebrating the most successful year in the history of the company. Meanwhile, Gruber and a dozen fellow terrorists are meticulously sealing off the building. Since it's Christmas Eve, the building is virtually empty, so Gruber easily seizes control and takes the Nakatomi employees hostage.
