Overview

Description

DieHard has always been about its ability to survive the most extreme conditions. Usually those have been limited to excessive heat, cold, or various other torture tests. We thought maybe it was time to expand that idea - to really dramatize what it's like to have to depend on a battery for your very survival. That Life really does demand DieHard.

Execution

The music featured in the majority of this spot is an original score. However, the music at the very end of the spot is a licensed track called "I'm Alive" by Johnny Thunder.
