The Tower (1994)

The Tower is a 1994 Die Hard clone starring Kurt Russell, Michelle Pfeiffer, Christopher Walken, Ernie Hudson and John C. McGinley.

Plot
Jack Morgan is a police officer visiting his girlfriend, Joan Purcell, at her new workplace; a high rise building in downtown San Francisco. On this particular day, however, a criminal named Max Stryker storms the tower and takes hostages; including Joan. Jack manages to avoid capture and soon realises it's down to him to stop Stryker's plan.

Soon, FBI agent Marcus arrives at the scene and manages to get in contact with Jack over the radio, aiding him in his vendetta against Stryker. Together, they learn that Stryker isn't even his real name, but Jim Marshal, a former employee of the company who now plans to financially ruin them as revenge.

Nick Greene, Joan's boss who previously made a pass at her, tries to negociate his own escape but is murdered by Stryker. Jack manages to dispatch most of Stryker's men and confronts him. A gas explosion rocks the tower and Stryker's only grip is that which he holds around Jack's necktie. Jack unties it and Stryker falls to his death. Jack and Joan then share an embrace.
