Hans Gruber was an internationally feared German terrorist. He was a fomer member of the West German Volksfrei movement, and the mastermind behind the heist of Nakatomi Plaza, and ran into trouble with John McClane there.
His brother Simon Gruber was a colonel in the East German army. Simon would later claim to want revenge for his brother's death at the hands of McClane, though this was found to be false.
Notes[]
Behind the Scenes[]
- Gruber was portrayed by English actor Alan Rickman.[1][2]
- Bruce Willis felt that Gruber was "an intelligent, thinking bad-guy. Alan Rickman in the first Die Hard was perfect. Smart, witty, funny, obnoxious. Not at all your nondescript, gun-toting thug."[3]
