Product description
Heat rises from the asphalt as a lone figure prepares to face impossible odds against a backdrop of shimmering city lights. This print captures the intensity of the 1988 classic, featuring a gritty close-up of John McClane set against the warm, hazy oranges and purples of a California dusk.
About 1980s film posters
1980s posters are known for painted adventure, neon sci-fi and video-store nostalgia. Action posters often use a low camera angle to make their heroes look larger than life. The original dates from 1988. Video rental stores of the 1980s made poster art part of everyday life.
Styling this 1980s movie poster
Its orange palette makes this 1980s movie poster easy to build a room around. Choose 24×36″ to make “Die Hard” the focal point above a console, or 11×14″ to 16×20″ for a bedside or hallway wall. Finish “Die Hard” with a simple black or oak frame: its orange palette complements mid-century teak, cream walls and rust-coloured textiles. Build a gallery wall around “Die Hard”: add two or three smaller prints that echo its orange and keep the gaps to 2–3 inches.
