When the world's greatest criminal
mastermind (Timothy Olyphant) attempts to cripple the entire country with an
innovative act of technological terrorism, only one cop can insure that the
integrity of the system stays intact. NYPD Detective John McClane has faced some
brutal terrorists in his career, but now, he's about to face what may be his
most dangerous enemy yet. John receives a call to bring in a hacker named Matt
Farrell, because there has been a breach in an FBI computer system. But after
John gets to Matt's apartment, a group of men show up and try to kill John and
Matt, who barely escape with their lives. A group of terrorists led by Thomas
Gabriel are systematically shutting down the United States computer
infrastructure. Gabriel, plans to bring the country to its knees, but he doesn't
count on John and Matt figuring out what's going on. Gabriel wants John and Matt
out of the way, and for John, the situation becomes personal when an enraged
Gabriel kidnaps John's daughter Lucy. Gabriel may think he now has the upper
hand on John, but he has no idea how far John is willing to go to rescue Lucy.
