Mostly forgotten, Rollerball is most notable for being the movie that caused McTiernan some real-life trouble. It's a remake of the 1975 James Caan film where an athlete is put in a game where he must fight for survival. McTiernan's remake removed the political satire of the original while upping the extreme sports angle to the maximum. It leads to...
McTiernan's first film as well as Pierce Brosnan's, Nomads was a curious little horror movie that nonetheless failed to gain much interest. Many in the audience found the mixture of horror and semi-light-hearted comedy to be awkwardly placed halves of a whole. The plot follows Brosnan's French anthropologist, Jean-Charles Pommier, as he studies a p...
McTiernan's reteaming with Sean Connery wasn't as successful as their first adventure, The Hunt for Red October, but it's still a fine diversion. The real heart of the movie is Lorraine Bracco, who turns in an imminently likable performance as biochemist Rae Crane.

An underrated Arnold Schwarzenegger film, Last Action Hero is a jumbled viewing experience that has regardless gone on to gain a major cult following. Written by Shane Black (who starred in McTiernan's Predator), Last Action Hero is the type of movie that bites off more than it can chew. It wants to satirize action films (particularly those of Schw...
McTiernan's last released film (from all the way back in 2003) is, unfortunately, more of a whimper than a bang for the action auteur. Basic is a movie where the twists aren't predictable, but when the tables are turned, the result is nothing more than shrug-worthy. The plot follows John Travolta's D.E.A. Agent as he investigates the troubling and ...
A massive box office bomb, The 13th Warrior is nonetheless held in above-average regard by IMDb voters. It's an adaptation of the Michael Crichton novel Eaters of the Dead, but it failed to capitalize on his name brand, which had recently been bolstered thanks to Jurassic Park.

Remaking one of Steve McQueen and Faye Dunaway's best movies was no easy task, but McTiernan did well with 1999's glossy and star-powered The Thomas Crown Affair. The director reteamed with Pierce Brosnan for the film, bringing on Rene Russo for the Dunaway role. Brosnan plays Thomas Crown, a billionaire who decides to fight boredom by stealing a M...
McTiernan came back to direct the best Die Hard sequel: Die Hard with a Vengeance. Bringing in Samuel L. Jackson, with a Vengeance successfully changed up the formula McTiernan himself established with the original film (and which the 2nd film felt comfortable residing in). The plot again follows John McClane, this time teaming up with Jackson's Ze...
The Hunt for Red October was McTiernan's third classic and to date the best cinematic adaptation of a Tom Clancy novel. Featuring Alec Baldwin and the late Sean Connery in peak form, the film managed to take tricky and dense Cold War espionage and make it palatable for general audiences. Red October is probably McTiernan's most claustrophobic film ...
The hard-R mixture of action and sci-fi thrills of Predator holds up to this daybecause of McTiernan's expert precision when it comes to pacing. The more straightforward buildup seen in the first act is quickly subverted, and the movie becomes something entirely different. McTiernan's handling of Predator's action set pieces and slasher elements is...
