Bad guys have taken over some location or vehicle, usually holding several hostages and almost always in an enclosed space, but, unbeknownst to the villains, one or more good guys are hiding out in their midst. It's up to said guy (or said guys) to engineer their overthrow. Probably at least one Air-Vent Passageway will be crawled through, at least one hostage will be a member of The Hero's family and another will be executed while trying to negotiate with the villains.
Named after a meme within the entertainment industry based on the movie of the same name, starring Bruce Willis. One of the most important action films of all time, if all the copycat ripoffs are any indication. An old story says that the High Concept pitches for many action films basically went "Die Hard on/in a [location of the film]", until one day, someone tried to pitch a movie as "Die Hard in an office building." Apparently, they were unaware that the original Die Hard did take place in an office building.note Incidentally, the original Die Hard was actually pitched as "Rambo in an Office Building"
This plot can be used as the action for a Bottle Episode. The bad guys may unknowingly have Bruce Wayne Held Hostage. Expect to see at least one Bulletproof Human Shield show up.
This trope can be played with varying degrees of blatancy, so remember, just because a work appears on this list doesn't make it a total knockoff of Die Hard. It's just a basic framework.
This trope was hit hard by Technology Marches On: the existence and wide usage of cell phones is a major game-breaking issue for a "Die Hard" scenario, as any unprepared hostage has the power to talk to the police from inside a closed location without any previous set-up. Modern versions must acknowledge them and take them all out of play somehow for the plan to even start to work.
The Trope Codifier and Trope Namer is the Bruce Willis movie Die Hard (1988). However, it is predated by several earlier action films with a similar premise, such as Bruce Lee's Game of Death (1972), and Runaway Train films such as Akira Kurosawa's Runaway Train (1963/1985) and The Bullet Train (1975).
See also All Your Base Are Belong to Us, "Home Alone" Antics, Spanner in the Works, Right Man in the Wrong Place, Stumbled Into the Plot. Can overlap with Caught Up in a Robbery, which the original film is also an example of. A Trapped-with-Monster Plot can be seen as the inversion of this, with the John McClane figure being the villain; a common joke is that a xenomorph audience would see Alien as Die Hard on a space freighter. See also the Die Hard Scenario Wiki.
Recycled In Space is the general trope for remaking works in a new setting.

Game of Death (1972), directed by and starring Bruce Lee, is essentially "Die Hard in a pagoda tower" (also predating Die Hard). In Game of Death, Lee ascends a pagoda tower while defeating bad guys along the way in martial arts battles. The 1978 version is set in a variety of locations, which removes the trope.

Die Hard: The Trope Namer and Trope Codifier.
The first film is Die Hard (in a high-rise).
Die Hard 2 is Die Hard in a snowed-in airport... and interestingly, the last Die Hard movie to follow this trope. Later films were all more conventional action thrillers, taking place across New York City, on the East Coast, and in Russia respectively.

Day of the Wolves is Die Hard in a small town. However, being made in 1971, it predates Die Hard. A gang of bad guys have a plan for Taking Over the Town. What they hadn't counted on was the police chief being fired that morning, and so being at home instead of where they expected him to be.

Sorority House Massacre 3: Hard To Die is basically Die Hard as a slasher, with a group of women trapped in a deserted skyscraper with someone possessed by the spirit of a serial killer. It should be noted the director went on to direct the above-mentioned Final Voyage, Demolition High, and Gale Force.

Blood Red Sky is Die Hard on a plane... with the added twist that the McClane is a vampire. The second half, however, turns into From Dusk Till Dawn on a plane as the Vampire Procreation Limit is broken, Feral Vampires overrun the plane, and the few survivors among both the hijackers and the passengers (including the vampire McClane) team up to survive.

In A Certain Magical Index, Touma and Index take a plane to England to help the Royal Family at their request, but the plane gets taken over by French terrorists mid-flight. When one of the terrorists strangles Index, Touma angrily kicks his ass, then goes after and defeats the others, though Stiyl has to fly up to the plane and perform some last minute assistance. Amusingly, the pilot assumes Touma is just an ordinary civilian and tries to stop Touma from fighting the terrorists. Annoyed, Touma knocks him out.

The CSI: NY third-season finale "Snow Day" is another example. The NYPD Crime Lab is located in a high-rise(albeit a high-tech one); Mac, Stella & Sheldon are still in the building after the bad guys (an Irish gang intent on getting their seized drug horde back) engineer its evacuation; meanwhile, Danny & Adam are held hostage in a warehouse. Cell phone service goes out in the area for most of the episode. One of the perps shoots another (thinking he's Mac); Mac writes "Find the bullet" on the guy's forehead and sends him down the elevator to Sheldon in the morgue. At another point Stella crawls down the elevator shaft to get the re-stolen drugs back. Mac constructs a pipe bomb and a Laser Hallway out of things in the lab and blows the baddies (not to mention the lab) to smithereens.

Not only do bad guys take over the Buy More, but Al from Die Hard also appears, as Big Mike's cousin.
In a different episode, different bad guys take over the store after Black Friday when Morgan, Jeff and Lester are the only ones inside. The bad guys take Jeffster hostage while Morgan was in his office taking a foot bath...in a tank top...without shoes. Yes, he uses the vents to get around, yes, he knocks a box of tacks off a shelf...and steps on them. Yes, he decides to make a rescue with a gun taped to his back.

Star Trek: Enterprise:
"Acquisition". The Ferengi make unofficial 'first contact' by taking over the ship and gassing the crew into unconsciousness, leaving Trip (who was in decontamination at the time) to mount an offensive (aided by Archer after he's woken up for the Ferengi to interrogate him).
"Catwalk". With Enterprise facing a spatial anomaly that will kill the entire crew and can't be outrun, they have to hide in the shielded "catwalks" inside the powered-down warp nacelles, and later use their few spacesuits to mount an offensive when a race of aliens immune to the same anomaly try to take over the ship.
"Chosen Realm". A group of religious extremists try to take Enterprise and use it as a weapon against their enemies, forcing Archer to trick them into thinking they've executed him while he's really transported to another part of the ship to begin his counter-attack.

The Simpsons:
The episode where Maggie rescues the other babies from a creche made a lot of references to The Great Escape, but was actually more like Die Hard In A Nursery.
Parodied in the episode "And Maggie Makes Three" (bear in mind, this is something Homer is imagining in the spur of the moment to lie about why there's no pictures of Maggie):

Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty is Die Hard on an oil tanker in New York Harbor in its prologue. The tanker is carrying a top-secret new model of Metal Gear when it is hijacked by Russian mercenaries, and Snake, who was aboard the ship to obtain evidence of the new Metal Gear, fights back only to get framed for the attack. The rest of the game is Die Hard in the marine decontamination facility built to contain the oil spill from the sinking of that ship, with the leader of the terrorists claiming to be Solid Snake. At least, that's what they tell Raiden initially. It's not that simple. Not at all.

The entire middle portion (About 60-70% of the game) of First Encounter Assault Recon is "Die Hard in an Office Building", like the original Die Hard movie, except replace terrorists with psychically controlled super soldiers and one madder-than-hell Stringy-Haired Ghost Girl playing merry hell with them and the others and McClane with a slo-mo using, round house kicking Silent Protagonist. Also instead of Hans Gruber we get a telepathic and psychotic cannibal named Paxton Fettel Who is also your brother.

In Supergirl Volume 5 Annual #1 several bank robbers are holding several hostages. Supergirl cannot tip her identity off (long story), so she breaks a restroom's window, crawls into the place and pretends to be one of the hostages until she has a chance to take the crooks down anonymously.

Fullmetal Alchemist: Events of the fourth chapter of the manga, "Battle on the Train", play out like Die Hard on a Train. The train in question is hijacked by a terrorist group and the passengers are taken as hostage. Little do the terrorists know that among the hostages are Edward and Alphonse Elric, who make it their mission to stop them. Instead of air vents, Edward climbs out of a window and moves via the train's roof. The terrorists also have a person of interest as their hostage (Major General Hakuro), though he's more important to the army (for which Edward works) than to the heroes themselves. That all said, it plays out pretty much as a short series of Curb Stomp Battles, since it's a bunch of guys with guns against an Animated Armor who's Immune to Bullets and a Pintsized Powerhouse who can do almost anything with alchemy.

The New Adventures of Robin Hood: In "The Birthday Trap", Robin goes to the fiftieth birthday party of his step-mother, where he encounters an old girlfriend. But a band of thieves enter the castle and interrupt the festivities. They round up the guests and steal all their money and trinkets. Robin is seriously wounded in the battle to recover the stolen items. Knowing the castle well, he relies on his cunning to separate the thieves, and lay traps for them in the rooms they find themselves locked in. But Robin faces his biggest battle high on the castle walls.

Explored in The Bad Movie Bible's Borrowing Blockbusters episode on (usually cheap) movies made to cash in on the success of Die Hard. The videos group rip-off films into sections by which location they take place in: a skyscraper, a plane, a mall, a performance venue, IN SPACE!, etc. The videos also highlight how these movies often copy Die Hard's other prominent tropes like Right Man in the Wrong Place, I Have Your Wife, a Powell-type character acting as a Living Emotional Crutch as well as Mission Control, and a Wicked Cultured villain.

The Highlander episode "Bad Day in Building A" is notable in that it borrows the Die Hard formula to the point of its Technical Pacifist hero killing enemy mooks, including at least one he had clearly already succeeded at tying to a chair. Because the Power of Willis is such that even Duncan MacLeod must kill for it.

Firewall is Harrison Ford playing the same kind of character in Air Force One with Mary Lynn Rajskub playing the same type of helpful hacking heroine as her character Chloe O'Brien on 24.

Rick and Morty: In "Rick: A Morty Well Lived", this is parodied and invoked when the alien arcade Rick, Morty and Summer are at get attacked by alien terrorists in what is frequently referred to as "doing a Die Hard". Summer, being a zoomer, never actually watched Die Hard and only really knows parts of the film via cultural osmosis, but gets the John McClane role. The Gruber parody reveals that he actually comes from a culture that reveres Die Hard and that various cultures throughout the universe have created their own versions of Die Hard with different names (including the sequels), with his entire Evil Plan simply being to reenact the film.

Each certain arc of Future Diary is set in this scenario whenever the protagonists are pitted against an antagonist with the Ordinary High-School Student Yuki as the John McClane. For the borderline-NC-17 levels of intense violence, it's up to par with Renny Harlin's approach to this trope, Die Hard 2 and Cliffhanger:
For Third, it's Die Hard with a Serial Killer.
For Minene's introduction, it's Die Hard in school.
For Sixth and Twelfth, it's Die Hard at a temple.
For Fifth, it's Die Hard in The Hero's home with an Enfant Terrible Creepy Child running amok.
For Tenth, it's Die Hard in a park.
For Fourth, it's Die Hard in a police station and a hospital.
From the Apprentice Diary Holders' perspective, it's Die Hard in an abandoned hotel with a Yandere holding her love hostage.
For Seventh, it's Die Hard inside a skyscraper.
For Eleventh, it's Die Hard in a bank.
For the final arcs, it's Die Hard in alternate dimensions and the space time continuum.

The 2001 Made-for-TV Movie Hotel! is a comedic version of Die Hard in, you guessed it, a hotel. Foreign terrorists take a British hotel hostage, in aid of kidnapping the American President, not realizing that the assistant manager has a convenient military background and happened to get out of the captured hotel due to a series of wacky hijinks. (Notable mainly for happening to feature two actors who've been cast as the Doctor on Doctor Who.)

Thunderbirds Are Go: In "Fireflash", Kayo is riding aboard Fireflash, a supersonic airliner that was recently improved by Brains, unaware that the Hood is planning to hijack it in mid-flight. While International Rescue notices the plane has suddenly vanished from their monitors and attempt to locate it, Kayo manages to avoid a powerful gas attack that has knocked out both the passengers and the crew, and is forced to not only confront the Hood, but also safely land the airliner when the craft is accidentally damaged and the landing gear fails to deploy.

In Rhythm of War, (the fourth book of The Stormlight Archive) a significant part of the book deals with the Fused invading and capturing Urithiru, a massive ancient Magitek tower-city at the heart of the Oathgate network. Several characters are trapped inside and each of them has to work in their own ways to resist and eventually defeat the invaders. Making things more complicated is that the human Radiants, who normally have different magical powers, have their abilities suppressed by the Fused subverting Urithiru's defenses. Use of Airvent Passageway is quite common as the heroes sneak around the ancient tower.

24 did this basically Once a Season, in addition to drawing enough tonal influences from the original movie that "Die Hard on the clock" is not a bad description for it. The Unit, Spooks, Ultimate Force and Strike Back are also similar in concept to having Die Hard type moments even though they're also trying to reflect upon real-life post-9/11 terror attacks.

Brooklyn Nine-Nine: There are many references to Die Hard throughout the series; Peralta calls it his favorite movie, and states outright he wants to be in such a situation. "99" features the team visiting the Fox Plaza building- the real-life setting of Nakatomi Plaza- allowing Peralta to indulge his fanboy tendencies such as taking photos at key sets. "Yippie Kayak" is an ass kicking Christmas Episode where Peralta, Gina and Boyle get locked in a department store after closing and discover robbers. However, Straw Loser Boyle ends up saving the day in a tank top instead of Peralta, but misheard Bruce Willis' catchphrase and shouts "Yippee Kayak, other buckets!".

The Kingdom (2007) starts off as a Heat-meets-CSI clone with FBI agents vs. terrorist groups then transcends into John McClane and even much like the TV show 24, where it's a race against the clock all within one big Saudi Arabia hideout.

Red Hill is a New Old West Die Hard in a town deep in the Australian Outback, with a One-Man Army escaped convict standing in for an entire crook force, and similar to Day of the Wolves the first thing he does is to cut communications, forcing the rookie sheriff to try to fight him in his own while other town members try (and fail miserably) to stop the con.The Reveal? It is more of a modern adaptation of And God Said to Cain... and the escaped convict is the McClane, in a Roaring Rampage of Revenge to avenge his murdered wife (that the townsmen framed him for), with the acceptance that it's a Suicide Mission.

The 2005 movie Hostage is Die Hard in a house. Bonus points for having Bruce Willis as the main character. Although the "McClane" character is a 10-year old kid—Willis is a hostage negotiator who is trying to retrieve an important package from the house.

When Static Shock crossed over with Justice League in the episode "A League Of Their Own, Pt. 1," Static and Gear were left on the League's Watchtower when the League answered a fake distress call sent by Brainiac who infiltrated the Tower's computer systems. When Static and Gear realize the space station is actually trying to kill them they have to work with the returning Justice League to take Brainiac down from the inside while the station's defenses and Brainiac's newly created Mecha-Mooks get in their way. They succeed, no spoiler, but since the episode is a two-parter...

Star Wars: The Clone Wars: "Hostage Crisis" is basically "Die Hard in the Republic Senate building", with Anakin as John McClane and bounty hunter Cad Bane as Hans Gruber. Instead of having no shoes like McClane, Anakin has no lightsaber. Unlike most examples of the trope, Anakin does not stop the villains: they successfully take over the building, make their demands and then make good their escape. Anakin himself is captured without putting any real dents in the villains' efforts and spends the rest of the crisis unconscious and held with the rest of the hostages. However, Anakin does get a redemption at the end of the episode when he saves the lives of the hostages when Cad Bane was going to blow them up after he had already gotten away.

Die Hard 2 is Die Hard in a snowed-in airport... and interestingly, the last Die Hard movie to follow this trope. Later films were all more conventional action thrillers, taking place across New York City, on the East Coast, and in Russia respectively.

Metal Gear:
The original Metal Gear had a similar basic plot as Die Hard, but came out one year before it. Solid Snake is an operative with the special forces group FOXHOUND sent to infiltrate the fortified rogue African state of Outer Heaven and destroy their titular Humongous Mecha superweapon.
The sequel Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake has him sent to infiltrate the rogue Central Asian state of Zanzibar Land to rescue a kidnapped scientist who had developed a revolutionary new alternative energy source.
Metal Gear Solid was Die Hard in an Alaskan nuclear disposal facility. After the events of the last two games, several members of FOXHOUND went rogue and took over Shadow Moses Island, threatening to launch a nuclear attack against the US with the weapons at the facility unless they received one billion dollars and the remains of their slain leader Big Boss. Snake is brought out of retirement and sent in to take them out.
Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty is Die Hard on an oil tanker in New York Harbor in its prologue. The tanker is carrying a top-secret new model of Metal Gear when it is hijacked by Russian mercenaries, and Snake, who was aboard the ship to obtain evidence of the new Metal Gear, fights back only to get framed for the attack. The rest of the game is Die Hard in the marine decontamination facility built to contain the oil spill from the sinking of that ship, with the leader of the terrorists claiming to be Solid Snake. At least, that's what they tell Raiden initially. It's not that simple. Not at all.
Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater was Die Hard in a Soviet military base during the Cold War. Naked Snake is sent to infiltrate the base to prevent a coup attempt against the USSR, destroy the superweapon that the coup plot's leader has under his control, and assassinate an American soldier (who is also his former mentor) who defected to the Soviets and is working with the villain.
Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots is a bit like Live Free or Die Hard in the sense that Snake does quite a bit of traveling in the game. This game lets us add "Die Hard in the Middle East, South America, Europe and Alaska" before coming back to being on a ship again (which this time around is more like Storming the Castle).

Detective Comics had a 2-part story in #829-830 where a terrorist takes control of Wayne Tower. Since Bruce is among the crowd he can't immediately change to Batman without tipping his identity off, so he manipulates things from the sidelines for most of it while giving orders to Robin on taking the guy down.

The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes:
"Masters of Evil" has some of the Avengers' biggest villains at the time take over the Avengers Mansion, and capture five of the Avengers. Ant-Man, Hawkeye, and Black Panther subsequently have to rescue their fellow superheroes.
"Alone Against AIM" was actually promoted once as, "Die Hard at Stark Industries!" The Scientist Supreme cuts off the power at the main Stark Industries office building, and takes Pepper Potts hostage, while also stealing some of Iron Man's armor. This leaves an un-armored Tony Stark having to stop AIM from blowing up the building, with the Technovore chasing him in pursuit of the arc reactor in his chest. One scene even shows Tony descending an elevator shaft together with Maria Hill.

Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots is a bit like Live Free or Die Hard in the sense that Snake does quite a bit of traveling in the game. This game lets us add "Die Hard in the Middle East, South America, Europe and Alaska" before coming back to being on a ship again (which this time around is more like Storming the Castle).

The Middleman episode "The Clotharian Contamination Protocol", in which Die Hard is referenced repeatedly, both by the characters and via in-jokes. The HQ is aided by the Nakatomi Protocol, which widens the air ducts and initiates a lockdown. Toward the end of the episode it becomes Die Hard In An Android.

Deep Rising is a subverted version of Die Hard on a cruise ship. The main characters are a team of mercenaries who were planning on robbing the passengers and vault of the ocean liner Argonautica before sinking it. Unfortunately, when they get to the Argonautica, they find that it's been attacked by something that has eaten virtually everybody on board, and now they're in the John McClane role in a Trapped-with-Monster Plot.

"Alone Against AIM" was actually promoted once as, "Die Hard at Stark Industries!" The Scientist Supreme cuts off the power at the main Stark Industries office building, and takes Pepper Potts hostage, while also stealing some of Iron Man's armor. This leaves an un-armored Tony Stark having to stop AIM from blowing up the building, with the Technovore chasing him in pursuit of the arc reactor in his chest. One scene even shows Tony descending an elevator shaft together with Maria Hill.

"I Shrink Therefore I Am". Die Hard is even mentioned by name.
"I-Yensch, You-Yensch" has a pair of Stupid Crooks take Rygel, Scorpius, D'Argo, and Braca hostage in a diner while they negotiate. Interestingly, they don’t get out through fighting, but through Rygel and Scorpius being their usual Magnificent Bastard selves.

Parodied in X-Men: The Early Years. In "Twinkies, Holdups and Other Things that Aren't Good For You", an incredibly dense crook attempts to rob a pet store, believing it to be a bank, right when Scott Summers, Warren Worthington and Robert Drake are buying a new pet. The trio has to figure out a way to take him without revealing their powers. Eventually Cyclops manages to frighten him out of the place.

Stargate SG-1
Inverted in "Bad Guys". SG-1 itself is mistaken for a group of terrorists in an alien museum, and a bumbling security guard believes himself to be the McClane. Naturally, they lampshade it:
They've played it straight a few times. The Prometheus has been taken over by alien or human bad guys on at least two occasions, and once SG-1 had to take it back from an alternate SG-1. (Long story.) The SGC has also been the target of this a few times. (In "Foothold", for example, the aliens were masquerading as the regular characters, and Sam was the only one who was really herself). Die Hard... In Colorado?

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: For the first six episodes of Season 6, the eponymous station is in enemy hands, with some main characters staging an internal resistance while others plan to retake the station from outside. Also, the beginning of Season 2 sees the crew temporarily handing the station over to Bajoran radicals. And then there's the shrunken shuttlecraft episode, definitely the Spiritual Successor of The Next Generation. Finally, there's the episode "Civil Defense" from Season 3, where the station is hijacked by an automated defense system put in place by Gul Dukat during the Occupation (who, ironically, shows up only to get captured by his own system along with everyone else).

Mass Effect 2 has a Die Hard on the Normandy scene when Joker has to escape the Collectors and find Shepard to go rescue the rest of the crew.
The last section of the "Arrival" DLC, where Shepard has to fight through the Indoctrinated Alliance team and destroy the Alpha Relay before the Reapers can establish a beachhead, can be summed up as Die Hard on an Asteroid.
In Mass Effect 3, the plot of the "Citadel" DLC is essentially Die Hard on the Citadel, culminating with a frantic shootout on the Normandy as Shepard rushes to retake the ship. It's even chocked with characters, good and bad alike, who are spouting cheesy one-liners like an '80s action movie. Die Hard on the Normandy: Die Harder?

Key Largo made in 1948 was essentially "Die Hard at a resort hotel" before there was a formula for this kind of film. A gangster (Edward G. Robinson, because who else?) holds a small group of hotel guests hostage while exchanging money. It isn't until the end that it develops more into the traditional Die Hard plot when Humphrey Bogart is taken to drive the getaway boat, which is when he starts sneaking around, bumping off the goons one by one.

Star Trek has done Die Hard on a spaceship for a number of episodes across the series:
Star Trek: The Original Series: "Space Seed". However, this aired before Die Hard was released. So Die Hard is sort of "Space Seed in an office building"! Sort of...
Star Trek: The Next Generation:
The episode "Starship Mine" couldn't be more clearly an homage to Die Hard set on the Enterprise. The hero is running around an abandoned complex playing cat-and-mouse with the villains while a separate group are being held hostage. One captured villain calls the hero's bluff about killing him. The hero assumes the villains are terrorists, but they turn out to be thieves. The hero listens in on the villains' communications, and they trade barbs. The hero passes himself off as a civilian when confronted by the villains in person. The official French title for the episode is "28 minutes to live", a reference to the French title for Die Hard 2 (58 minutes to live).
"Rascals" has elements of this, with the added twist that several crew members have been turned into children prior to the main events.
Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: For the first six episodes of Season 6, the eponymous station is in enemy hands, with some main characters staging an internal resistance while others plan to retake the station from outside. Also, the beginning of Season 2 sees the crew temporarily handing the station over to Bajoran radicals. And then there's the shrunken shuttlecraft episode, definitely the Spiritual Successor of The Next Generation. Finally, there's the episode "Civil Defense" from Season 3, where the station is hijacked by an automated defense system put in place by Gul Dukat during the Occupation (who, ironically, shows up only to get captured by his own system along with everyone else).
Star Trek: Voyager: The Doctor was frequently the Bruce Willis, his Projected Man status making him immune to whatever incapacitated everyone else.
"Basics, Part II". Voyager is taken by the Kazon-Nistrum and the crew abandoned on a primitive planet without technology. Three unlikely heroes (the Doctor at an early stage of his Character Development, renegade Tom Paris, and a former Sociopathic Soldier who discovered empathy after a Mind Meld) evade the dragnet and have to outsmart Magnificent Bitch Seska to retake Voyager.
"Macrocosm". Captain Janeway finds herself the Final Girl when she returns to Voyager and discovers the crew unconscious and the ship at the mercy of the Monster of the Week. Can Janeway save the day by stripping down to a sweaty tank top, strapping on a compression phaser rifle and doing her best Sigourney Weaver impersonation?
"The Killing Game", opens with Voyager having been seized by the Hirogen and the crew forced into Deadly Games on the holodeck. It's Harry Kim, not the Spotlight-Stealing Squad of Janeway/Seven/Doctor, who kicks off La Résistance, which is only appropriate as the main holodeck program featured is a WW2 French Resistance scenario.
"Message in a Bottle". The EMH is projected to a Starfleet vessel in the Alpha Quadrant, only to find it's been seized by Romulan commandoes. With the rest of the ship's crew dead by the time he arrived, he has to team up with the vessel's EMH Mark Two to take it back. Ham-to-Ham Combat and Hilarity Ensues.
Star Trek: Enterprise:
"Acquisition". The Ferengi make unofficial 'first contact' by taking over the ship and gassing the crew into unconsciousness, leaving Trip (who was in decontamination at the time) to mount an offensive (aided by Archer after he's woken up for the Ferengi to interrogate him).
"Catwalk". With Enterprise facing a spatial anomaly that will kill the entire crew and can't be outrun, they have to hide in the shielded "catwalks" inside the powered-down warp nacelles, and later use their few spacesuits to mount an offensive when a race of aliens immune to the same anomaly try to take over the ship.
"Chosen Realm". A group of religious extremists try to take Enterprise and use it as a weapon against their enemies, forcing Archer to trick them into thinking they've executed him while he's really transported to another part of the ship to begin his counter-attack.
Star Trek: Discovery:
"There is a Tide..." and "That Hope Is You, Part 2" have Discovery taken by the Emerald Chain, with Burnham crawling through the Jefferies Tubes playing cat and mouse with Osyraa's mooks while the bridge crew stages their own resistance.

The NCIS episode "The San Dominick" which featured pirates hijacking a ship. It's even lampshaded when Tony says that it's like "Die Hard on a ship".
Also episode "Lockdown" is "Die Hard in a biotech lab", with Abby Sciuto hiding from the bad guys and crawling through the air vents.

The various Pokémon games include Die Hard in an office building, a radio tower, a volcano, an oceanic museum, a weather institute, a submarine pen, a space centre, a wind farm, two office buildings, another mountain, a forest, a cold-storage warehouse, a castle, a sewer, a crater, a solar power plant, a Pokeball factory, a cafe, a whole walled city and then some. In fact, there's pretty much a guarantee that you'll deal with a situation like this at least once in a Pokemon game (Pokémon Mystery Dungeon and other spin-offs excluded). Justified, in that the villainous groups pretty much are Die Hard terrorists/crime syndicates, especially Team Rocket.

Ms. Tree had a story titled "New Year's Evil" where a deranged gunman takes over the rooftop restaurant where Michael Tree is celebrating New Year's Eve. Michael happens to be in the ladies room at the time. Cue this trope.

My Hero Academia: Two Heroes primarily takes place in the central tower of a mobile island. When terrorists take the tower, the first thing that they do thanks to having help from the inside is reprogram the security system to put the entire island on lockdown and restrain every pro hero who could interfere with their plans. As a result, it falls to a group of several superpowered teens and one quirkless girl who can reboot the system to reach the top of the tower and free the pros.

Run Hide Fight is Die Hard in a high school during a mass shooting. The villains aren't out to rob anybody, but simply to kill people while livestreaming their massacre, and the McClane is the daughter of an ex-military outdoorsman who puts the skills he taught her to use.

Crayon Shin-chan has a spoof of Die Hard (of all things!) in one AU story, in which Hiroshi Nohara is a police officer (instead of a Salaryman in canon) having a troubled relationship with his wife Misae and his son Shin-Chan. Just then, a terrorist attack occurs out of the blue, with Hiroshi and Shin-Chan barely escaping, and taking out the terrorists in a comical manner parodying John McClane (Case in point: Hiroshi tickling terrorists in their armpits until they lose consciousness, knocking them out with his socks, and scrubbing their faces with his rough chin until they surrender).

The second half of Detective Conan Film 05: Countdown To Heaven, the fifth Non-Serial Movie of Case Closed is basically your traditional Die Hard movie. After solving the murder case, the Black Organization bombed the skyscraper the heroes are in to kill one of their former members who had fled the organization, and the rest of the movie the heroes have to find a way to get out of the building before the last set of bombs kill them all. Hell, there is even a Shout-Out to Die Hard as Ran, the main heroine strapped a fire hose around her waist before jumping off the building before the fire consumed her, and kicking the window below to get inside before the fire hose burned off. She even claimed that she learned that trick from a movie! In fact, many Non-Serial Movie of the series tend to crank up on the action that made them reminiscent of Die Hard films, including but not limited to Die Hard in a theme park (three times!), Die Hard in a virtual reality Victorian London (just go with it), Die Hard in a plane, Die Hard on a cruise liner, Die Hard in an opera house, Die Hard in a Ski Resort, Die Hard on Tokyo Tower, Die Hard on an airship, Die Hard in a football stadium, Die Hard on an Aegis vessel, Die Hard in the 'Marina Bay Sands', and many more.

Family-friendly version: 3 Ninjas: High Noon at Mega Mountain, which is Die Hard in an amusement park. The titular brothers (and, to a lesser extent, Hulk Hogan) take the place of John McClane, and Loni Anderson takes the place of Hans Gruber. It's like the writers watched Die Hard and decided to make it family-friendly by making it a 3 Ninjas movie.

Becky is Die Hard in a lake house and the surrounding woods with a teenage girl (the titular Becky) in the McClane role, taking "Home Alone" Antics up to this level as she stalks and kills a white supremacist prison gang who have attacked the house and taken her family hostage in search of a key.

There are two films called Blast, both Die Hard rip-offs. One takes place in an Olympic stadium, and the other takes place on an oil rig. The latter was even written by one of the screenwriters of the original Die Hard.

Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater was Die Hard in a Soviet military base during the Cold War. Naked Snake is sent to infiltrate the base to prevent a coup attempt against the USSR, destroy the superweapon that the coup plot's leader has under his control, and assassinate an American soldier (who is also his former mentor) who defected to the Soviets and is working with the villain.

Plane is another Die Hard on a plane as the title implies, this one involves a plane being taken over by rebels after having been forced to land on a war-torn island to avoid a lightning strike, and the only person who can stop them is an accused murderer being transported by the FBI.

Speed is Die Hard on a bus, with a twist — it's a moving bus. A Mad Bomber plants a bomb on a Los Angeles city bus that arms when it reaches 50 miles per hour and will detonate if it goes below that, then demands a ransom of millions of dollars. The McClane role is shared by the bomb squad officer trying to disarm the explosive and a passenger who's forced to take the wheel of the bus and keep it moving after the driver is injured. Its plot wound up parodied almost as much as Die Hard's was in the '90s.

The Hurricane Heist is Die Hard in an Alabama town that has a Federal Reserve storage facility with $600 million in cash and is in the path of a Category 5 hurricane, the crooks exploiting the fact that the storage facility has been mostly evacuated and hope the devastation will cover their tracks. The duty of the McClane of this film is split between the facility's supervising federal marshall (who holds the code to open the vault) and two brothers, one of which is a storm chaser and brings a heavily-armored car to the fight.

Skyscraper, starring Dwayne Johnson, is essentially a combination between Die Hard (taking place on a (fictional) super-skyscraper-experimental-Arcology) and The Towering Inferno of all things (that means that, yes, the hijackers were crazy enough to set the mile-and-a-half-tall building on fire while they were in it as part of their scheme). Bob Chipman referred to it as "Die Hard ON FIRE!!!"

Parodied in the Close Enough episode "Man Up", where Emily's office building is taken over by armed thieves and her husband Josh subdues them with ease (in a tank top, of course) believing it to be an act. Once he realizes that it's real, the Centipede's Dilemma kicks in and his badassery immediately goes out the window.

The 1931 story arc of Baccano!, a.k.a. "The Grand Punk Railroad" exaggerates this: it is set on a train with three gangs hijacking at the same time, plus two serial killers, and three immortals! You almost forget hostages are involved, sometimes. Later, the 2002 "Bullet Garden/Blood Sabbath" does Die Hard on a Cruise Ship. The very first chapter starts with one of the terrorists rambling about Speed 2: Cruise Control.

The Avengers:
"Avengers: Under Siege"note Written in 1986 by Roger Stern, John Buscema and Tom Palmer; do not confuse it with Siege is basically "Die Hard in the Avengers Mansion".
Avengers #245 is basically The Wasp, Captain Marvel, The Vision and Starfox in "Die Hard in a rocket in outer space", complemented by Captain America and the Scarlet Witch in "Die Hard in a lab".
Deathtrap, the Vault, starring the Avengers and Freedom Force, is basically "Die Hard in a supervillain prison"

Battlestar Galactica does this in "The Oath" and "Blood on the Scales," with mostly Lee and Kara (and a bit of Tigh/Adama) as the McClane. Even Tyrol gets to play McClane as he crawls through service tunnels and air ducts for most of the episode. So this would be Die Hard In Space!

Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex plays with this when Aramaki and the Major go to London. While visiting a friend who runs a wine bank, Aramaki and his friend are taken hostage by ex-mob bank robbers, but the mob itself gets tipped off, and the bribed police force then besieges the bank. Aramaki manages to convince the robbers to work with him so that they can figure a way out of the police siege, as the cops aren't going to let any of them escape alive.

The South Park episode "Super Fun Time" is essentially Die Hard at Ye Olde Settlement, where a team of terrorists, complete with a Hans lookalike, takes a frontier-town educational park hostage after robbing a Burger King.

While Home Alone spends most of its time showing the comedy of a Kid Hero living home alone for almost a week, the climactic (and Trope-codifying) "Home Alone" Antics sequence could be described as "Die Hard as an all-ages comedy, with the McClane being a Trap Master".

In the Lois & Clark episode "Fly Hard" (yep, they weren't even trying to hide it), robbers take over the Daily Planet building and drill the floor, searching for prohibition-era money. Of course, part of the humor is that Jimmy Olsen slips through the terrorists' fingers when they lock up the hostages (while Clark Kent, of course, is rounded up with everyone else). Jimmy deludes himself into thinking he's Bruce Willis and is going to save everyone's lives in a rather hilarious Internal Monologue held while crawling through an air duct. He, of course, ends up accomplishing nothing much in particular until Superman finally "arrives" to save the day.

Anna Pigeon: Destroyer Angel is "Die Hard in a National Forest". Anna is on a camping trip with some friends. While she is floating alone in a canoe on the river at night, a gang of kidnappers abduct the others. When Anna finds out what has happened, she pursues the gang through the forest with almost no equipment.

Tracker (2001): "What Lies Beneath" probably qualifies. Zin and his minions break into the Watchfire bar because they've finally realized it's where the superweapon they're seeking is hidden. Zin thinks he's neutralized Cole by having a minion zap him with a gun that tampers with his powers, but they don't count on Mel finding out she's part alien and being able to reverse the effect and get Cole back to normal. Nestov claims he was doing a 'triple cross' as well, but it's left ambiguious as to whether he simply betrayed the heroes or actually was attempting to foil the plan.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer / Angel:
A second-season episode of Buffy ("School Hard") admits that it's ripping off this device by entitling the episode where everyone is trapped in a vampire-infested school (Die Hard at Sunnydale High) with Buffy as their only hope.
The Bronze is also a popular location for hostage-takings ("The Harvest", "Doppelgangland").
Angel featured an episode where a band of humans take over the demon-owned nightclub Caritas, which happens to be a frequent watering hole of the heroes. The twist is that most of the clubgoers, while demonic, are fully-assimilated and peaceful, while the gun-toting humans have devolved into hunting demons for sport even if they haven't done anything wrong.

The three-issue arc of Doctor Strange after his first victory against Dormammu is essentially Die Hard in the Sanctum Sanctorum. Strange is knocked out by a bomb and wakes up to find a metal plate over his face and steel gauntlets on his hands that prevent him from spellcasting, and with three underlings of his nemesis Mordo in the house. It takes a combination of wits, skill and luck to beat them all.

Stargate Atlantis is fond of this trope:
"The Storm" and "The Eye" is a very deliberate reference, because the Big Bad (Acastus Kolya) is Robert Davi - who was one of the FBI agents in the original Die Hard. "The Return" does it as well, and also the final season's "The Prodigal", which even ends with Teyla tossing series Big Bad off the top floor of the Atlantis main tower. Note that "The Storm/The Eye", "The Return," and the above-mentioned SG-1 episode "Bad Guys" were all penned by staff writer Martin Gero, who apparently has a favorite movie.
Averted with "Midway". The Wraith have taken over the SGC, and there are only two people conscious on our side. Perfect time for another "Die Hard at the SGC"... except the two conscious people are Teal'c and Ronon. Instead of sneaking around, they just start killing every Wraith they can find.

Ciaphas Cain:
The short story Traitor's Gambit is Die Hard on a spaceship, complete with Cain taunting the head terrorist over a vox unit and the terrorist's leader being more in it for financial gain than for the cause.
Cain's Last Stand has a scene where a survivor of an alien attack is hiding in the vents. The fact he's still alive when the Tyranids almost always gravitate to the vents (and attack through the same vent moments later) is the first clue they weren't the original attackers.

Star Trek: Voyager: The Doctor was frequently the Bruce Willis, his Projected Man status making him immune to whatever incapacitated everyone else.
"Basics, Part II". Voyager is taken by the Kazon-Nistrum and the crew abandoned on a primitive planet without technology. Three unlikely heroes (the Doctor at an early stage of his Character Development, renegade Tom Paris, and a former Sociopathic Soldier who discovered empathy after a Mind Meld) evade the dragnet and have to outsmart Magnificent Bitch Seska to retake Voyager.
"Macrocosm". Captain Janeway finds herself the Final Girl when she returns to Voyager and discovers the crew unconscious and the ship at the mercy of the Monster of the Week. Can Janeway save the day by stripping down to a sweaty tank top, strapping on a compression phaser rifle and doing her best Sigourney Weaver impersonation?
"The Killing Game", opens with Voyager having been seized by the Hirogen and the crew forced into Deadly Games on the holodeck. It's Harry Kim, not the Spotlight-Stealing Squad of Janeway/Seven/Doctor, who kicks off La Résistance, which is only appropriate as the main holodeck program featured is a WW2 French Resistance scenario.
"Message in a Bottle". The EMH is projected to a Starfleet vessel in the Alpha Quadrant, only to find it's been seized by Romulan commandoes. With the rest of the ship's crew dead by the time he arrived, he has to team up with the vessel's EMH Mark Two to take it back. Ham-to-Ham Combat and Hilarity Ensues.

The Sentinel had an episode called "Dead Drop", which involved the main character trying to catch the bad guy by going up elevator shafts, running up stairs, and, in a true Die Hard moment, swinging in through a window.
The second episode of the series fit this trope as well, but it advanced the plot by forcing Jim to use his abilities around his boss several times, letting him in on the secret.

The Doctor Who New Adventures novel GodEngine traps thirtieth-century cop Chris Cwej in a Martian military base, upon which he promptly proceeds to wreak mayhem using a strategy his partner informs us is officially known as "The McClane Protocol".

From the Apprentice Diary Holders' perspective, it's Die Hard in an abandoned hotel with a Yandere holding her love hostage.

Star Trek: The Next Generation:
The episode "Starship Mine" couldn't be more clearly an homage to Die Hard set on the Enterprise. The hero is running around an abandoned complex playing cat-and-mouse with the villains while a separate group are being held hostage. One captured villain calls the hero's bluff about killing him. The hero assumes the villains are terrorists, but they turn out to be thieves. The hero listens in on the villains' communications, and they trade barbs. The hero passes himself off as a civilian when confronted by the villains in person. The official French title for the episode is "28 minutes to live", a reference to the French title for Die Hard 2 (58 minutes to live).
"Rascals" has elements of this, with the added twist that several crew members have been turned into children prior to the main events.

The Goldbergs explored Die Hard inspired plots in the episode "Yippie Ki Yay, Melon Farmer". After seeing the original film, Adam gets the idea to make his own movie based on it. He looks through several variants before settling on "Die Hard in a treehouse" with the help of his Uncle Marvin.
