Hello, Are you talking about the movie Die Hard? Nakatomi Plaza is fictional. I've done some research including asking Fans of Die Hard and going to websites like https://ew.com/is-die-hard-s-nakatomi-plaza-real-11861595 and many more and they've confirmed my skepticism. The original name of the building is Fox Plaza. It was Given the name Nakaomi Plaza for the movie."Nakatomi Plaza is a high-rise office building in Century City, Los AngelesCalifornia that houses the headquarters of the California branch of the Nakatomi Corporation, a Japanese company. The building used to represent it is played by the Fox Plaza building" - https://diehard.fandom.com/wiki/Nakatomi_Plaza

Unfortunately Nakatomi Plaza is not the name of the building in the picture. The real building is Fox Plaza (now 2121 Avenue of the Stars) in Los Angeles, which famously stood in for the fictional Nakatomi Tower in Die Hard. As Empire Magazine’s editor Nick de Semlyen said, “Nakatomi Tower became instantly iconic as a movie location,” largely because the filmmakers were allowed to shoot inside the real skyscraper and make so much action around it.

Additionally, this image and information are being shared from Bluesky, a decentralized social platform where people post screenshots and content from other apps. The migration to Bluesky has been driven by dissatisfaction with X, and many users have left because the platform “offers innovations such as customizable feeds and anti-toxicity tools,” which some see as improvements over X’s experience.
