Answer
Die Hard, released in 1988 and starring Bruce Willis, popularized the subgenre known as "close-quarters combat" action. This type of action emphasizes intense, physical confrontations that occur in confined spaces, often involving hand-to-hand combat, gunfights, and improvised weaponry. The film's depiction of John McClane's resourceful use of his surroundings and unconventional tactics in a confined setting resonated with audiences and set the standard for future action movies to follow.
