I think From Dusk til Dawn (1996) is usually regarded as Clooney’s first big hit, rather than Three Kings (1999). Hell, he did Batman & Robin (1997) before that.

He had appears in a couple of movies before this, notably Blind Date, but Die Hard was unquestionably what catapulted him to true movie stardom.

Famously left NYPD Blue to star in it. Actually had a decent movie career going before, but this pretty much relegated him back to TV permanently.
