Not only did Ronald Reagan set up his post-presidency offices there, but the structure has also been immortalized in such productions as “Fight Club” and “Brooklyn Nine-Nine.” It is “Die Hard,” though, that led to its irrefutable status as one of the most recognizable fixtures of the Century City skyline. The locale boasts several additional claims to fame. In real life, Fox Plaza stands intact, looking much as it did at the start of the film. McClane plays cat-and-mouse with adversary Hans Gruber (Alan Rickman) and his henchmen throughout the looming skyscraper, from the elevator shafts to the pink marble-clad lobby to the roof standing some 490 feet above the street below.Ī scale model of the building was used for the sequence at the end of the movie in which the top floors are blown up.

The production even made use of several floors still under construction at the time of filming.
