"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.

Thorp's inspiration for "Nothing Lasts Forever" came from a dream he had while dozing off during a viewing of the Steve McQueen disaster film "The Towering Inferno." In the dream, a man was being pursued through a skyscraper by armed men. This dream eventually became the storyline for his book and, subsequently, "Die Hard."

Contrary to popular internet rumors, "Die Hard" was never intended to be a sequel to Arnold Schwarzenegger's 1985 action film "Commando."
