Antagonist

Character Role Analysis

Hans Gruber

And what a great antagonist he is, right? Gruber is suave, calculating, utterly unmoved by sentiment, and, it can be said, one of the greatest movie villains of all time. He's the ultimate bad guy: he's after some serious dough, doesn't care who gets in his way, and isn't standing on some principled soapbox. The man's just mean.
