"Die Hard" is one of those legendary films, like "Apocalypse Now" and "Rambo," that many don't realize was adapted from a book. "Nothing Lasts Forever" by Roderick Thorp, written in 1979, served as the basis for the movie, and it was a sequel to Thorp's 1966 book "The Detective," also turned into a film starring Frank Sinatra.
