After Die Hard blew the doors off movie theaters, there was no doubt that Bruce Willis's one-man-army of a cop would hit the big screen again, even harder. And Die Hard 2 made it happen doubling down on the explosive action. And just like the original blockbuster, the sensational sequel leaped from the pages of a suspense master s pulse-pounding novel... A massive blizzard has shut down nearly every East Coast airport, stranding travelers on the ground and in the air. But those circling the skies above New York's Kennedy Airport have far more to worry about than missed connections. When the control tower's radar suddenly goes dark, a mysterious caller known only as Number One announces that the countdown to terror has begun. Nineteen planes, and their helpless passengers, are now airborne hostages in the ruthless hands of a dangerous man on a deadly mission. And if the U.S. government doesn't bow to his demands, hell will rain from above as one jetliner after another exhausts its fuel... and plunges to earth. With only 58 minutes between life and death, there may be nothing anyone can do...except one New York City cop, with nerves of steel, attitude to burn, and a reputation for being tough on crime and even harder to kill.

A Dishy Tell-All Memoir from the Great Ape A funny thing happened on the way to the Empire State Building...and now, for the first time since his 1933 debut, King Kong, thelegendary ape of the big screen, tells his fascinating story. In My Side, he answers: What was his romantic lead Fay Wray covering up? Not much, according to the wonderful and frank creature who sneaked several good peeks. For which great power was on-screen nemesis Bruce Cabot a secret agent? Don't ask. Read. How did Kong -- a serious and trained actor -- refuse to parrot his lines, unlike some of his costars, and get into character? Kong also offers anecdotes and memories of David O. Selznick, Frank Sinatra, Bill Cosby, Stalin, and many more luminaries from his long and storied career. Gritty and powerful, this 132-foot simian's story will take you from the darkest jungle to atop the highest skyscraper of the day, but always keep you laughing with his hilarious side of the story.
