History:

MKE, or the Mechanical and Chemical Industry Corporation, is a Turkish state-owned manufacturer of firearms and ammunition with a history dating back to the 15th century. Its origins lie in the Ottoman Empire's "Royal Arsenal," which evolved into the modern MKE after World War I and the Turkish War of Independence. MKE has been producing a wide range of products, including rifles, pistols, and ammunition, both for the Turkish military and for export to allied nations.

Timeline:

15th Century: MKE's roots in the Ottoman Empire's "Royal Arsenal" (Tophane-i Amire).

1832: The arsenal was reorganized as the "Arsenal of Ordnance and Artillery Marshalship" (Tophane Müşavirliği).

1908: Formed into a department of the Ministry of War (Harbiye Nezareti).

1923: After World War I and the Turkish War of Independence, reorganized as the "General Directorate of Military Factories".

Post-1950s: MKE began producing a wide array of military goods, including firearms and ammunition, for both domestic Turkish use and export.

1980s: MKE benefited from technology transfer from Heckler & Koch (HK) during a government contract to supply firearms, ultimately retaining knowledge and designs from HK's departure.

Die Hard is the 1988 action film starring Bruce Willis as John McClane, an NYPD detective who arrives in Los Angeles on Christmas Eve to visit his estranged wife Holly (Bonnie Bedelia) during an office party at the business tower where she is a vice president. When terrorists led by Hans Gruber (Alan Rickman) seize the tower and hold Holly and 30 others hostage, McClane then finds himself the only one who can thwart the terrorists' plans. The film, which was directed by John McTiernan, spawned four sequels and helped establish Willis as an action movie star. In addition, the basic plot of a single person taking on terrorists while trapped in a confined space would serve as the basis for a great number of action films in the following decades. In 2017, it was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry.
