Storyline
When someone hacks into the computers at the FBI's Cyber Crime Division; the Director decides to round up all the hackers who could have done this. When he's told that because it's the 4th of July most of their agents are not around so they might have trouble getting people to get the hackers. So he instructs them to get local PD'S to take care of it. And one of the cops they ask is John McClane who is tasked with bringing a hacker named Farrell to the FBI. But as soon as he gets there someone starts shooting at them. McClane manages to get them out but they're still being pursued. And it's just when McClane arrives in Washington that the whole system breaks down and chaos ensues.User Reviews
In a summer filled with
disappointment its nice to see John McClane back even if it is a pg-13
version it still takes my spot as the best summer movie thus far (and
with it competition who can argue that). Non stop action grabs you in
the first ten minutes and doesn't let go till the credits. Mclane is
back rugged and raw, Willis gives a great performance as he reprises his
role. There's one scene in particular that i loved, When hes driving
the computer nerd that hes protecting after he has several run ins with
Assasians and Johns a little banged up. He's asked "Why are you doing
this?" (or something like that) and McClane says "If there was someone
else I would be glad to let them do it." then the kid asks "So why do
it" then McClane responds "Because there is no one else." I don't know
maybe I'm reading to deep in but i thought that really shows who and
what McClane is, hes the guy who is willing to put his own neck out to
protect us because thats what he needs to do, not what he wants to do.
He didn't ask to be a hero just that no one else stepped up that was
willing to take the hits. Live Free Or Die Hard is a great action movie
that even thou it may not rank with the original nor the third
installments, i would definitely say its better than the second. And it
sure is nice to see McClane back in action...............
