The blueprint for every action movie since: one wisecracking guy, bare feet, broken glass, and a very bad Christmas party.
What it is
During a Christmas party in a Los Angeles skyscraper, terrorists seize the building and take hostages. An off-duty police officer escapes capture and must navigate the tower alone, using his resourcefulness to survive, protect those inside, and find a way to stop the attackers.
The feel
Completely conventional·Endlessly rewatchable·A crowd-pleaser·Relentless energy
