John McTiernan
John McTiernan is a renowned American film director best known for his work in the action genre, particularly during the late 20th century. He gained fame for directing iconic films such as 'Predator' (1987), 'Die Hard' (1988), and 'The Hunt for Red October' (1990), which showcased his ability to blend suspense with physical action in a pre-digital era.
