General info :
John Campbell McTiernan, Jr. (born January 8, 1951, Albany, New York, USA) is an American filmmaker, best known for his action films – especially the three films he directed back-to-back: the science fiction action film Predator (1987), the action film Die Hard (1988), and the action thriller The Hunt for Red October (1990). His film Die Hard has sometimes been called one of the greatest action movies ever made. His later well-known films include the action-comedy-fantasy film Last Action Hero (1993), the action film sequel Die Hard with a Vengeance (1995), and the heist film-remake The Thomas Crown Affair (1999).

He was convicted of perjury and lying to an FBI investigator after hiring the private investigator Anthony Pellicano in late 2000 to illegally wiretap the phone calls of two people, one of whom was Charles Roven, a co-producer of his dystopian science-fiction action film remake Rollerball (2002). He was incarcerated in federal prison from April 2013 to February 2014. During his imprisonment, he declared bankruptcy amidst foreclosure proceedings for his ranch residence and struggles to pay legal fees and IRS tax debt. His last completed film project was the mystery-thriller Basic, released in 2003. (from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)
