Die Hard

Five films in a straight line, and the only real question is which two are Christmas films.

Where to start with Die Hard

Release order, five films, one continuity, no prequels and no branches. This is one of the simplest franchises there is, so the useful thing to know is which ones are worth your time rather than what order to take them in.

  1. 1
    Die Hard (1988) Die Hard

    One building, one man, Christmas Eve, and the film every action film made since has copied. Nothing before it, and it works completely on its own.

  2. 2
    Die Hard 2 (1990) Die Hard 2

    Same character at Christmas again, this time in an airport, and it directly follows the first. It is the only sequel that leans on the first film's cast.

  3. 3
    Die Hard with a Vengeance (1995) Die Hard with a Vengeance

    New York in summer, no Christmas, and a villain with a personal reason to come back. It is the one most people rate second-best of the five.

Then what? Then Live Free or Die Hard and A Good Day to Die Hard, which are twelve and eighteen years later and much less well liked. Nothing in the series requires the earlier films to follow the later ones, so stopping after any of them costs you nothing.

A suggested way in, not an official one. The full list is below: tick anything off in either place.

Sync & backup

Your progress is saved on this device automatically. The code below takes a copy out and puts it back. Moving a whole list onto a device that has nothing on it yet is part of the subscription.

The code holds only this franchise. The link opens the tracker with your progress already filled in, good for showing someone where you're at. The image is a picture you can keep anywhere: scan the code on it with a phone, or drag the file back in below.

Every franchise you have touched, in one code.

Scan it with another device's camera, or paste the code in below. It never leaves your browser.

Drag a SagaList image here, or .

This reads the progress stored inside the picture, so nothing has to be retyped. If the image has been through a messaging app it may have been re-encoded and lost that: scan the code on it instead, or copy the code printed along the bottom.

Takes either kind of code. A single franchise code replaces that franchise, on any device. An everything code merges by default, so nothing you have ticked on this device is lost. Putting a whole list onto a device that has nothing on it yet is the part an account pays for.

Read only. This never changes what you have saved, and nothing leaves your browser. The code has to be their code for this same franchise: codes do not carry a name, so one from somewhere else may not be recognised as wrong.
