Die gesamte USA wird von einem bisher unvorstellbaren Akt des Terrorismus bedroht, der sich innovativster Techniken bedient und mittels Computerkraft das Land ins Chaos zu stürzen vermag. Die IT-Infrastruktur des Landes wird komplett außer Kraft gesetzt, Kommunikation und Bankwesen liegen lahm und die überraschten Behörden wissen zunächst nichts entgegen zu setzen. Nur ein Mann kann den Terror aufhalten: Der New Yorker Polizist John McClane hält nichts von modernem Schnickschnack und macht sich auf seine eigene Art auf die Jagd nach dem Drahtzieher des spektakulären Coups. Unterstützt wird er dabei von dem jungen Greg, den McClane eigentlich nur von New Jersey nach Washington bringen sollte. Doch mal wieder ist der alte Haudegen zur falschen Zeit am falschen Ort…

Pour sa quatrième aventure, l’inspecteur John McClane se trouve confronté à un nouveau genre de terrorisme. Le réseau informatique national qui contrôle absolument toutes les communications, les transports et l’énergie des États‐Unis, est détruit de façon systématique, plongeant le pays dans le chaos. Le cerveau qui est derrière le complot a tout calculé à la perfection. Ou presque… Il n’avait pas prévu McClane, un flic de la vieille école qui connaît deux ou trois trucs efficaces pour déjouer les attaques terroristes.

Die Hard - Vivere o morire
  • a.k.a. Die Hard 4 - Vivere o morire

Quando un gruppo di cyber-terroristi stacca la spina degli U.S.A., gettando l'intero paese nel panico, le autorità federali e l'esercito brancolano letteralmente nel buio. Il veterano John McClane, ancora una volta nel posto sbagliato al momento sbagliato, si troverà così a dover affrontare una minaccia globale da parte dei propri storici nemici giurati: terroristi e tecnologia. L'agente di polizia più coriaceo in circolazione, avvalendosi in questa occasione dell'aiuto di un giovane pirata informatico, può aver perso il pelo ma non il vizio di prendere di petto le situazioni, e conosce sempre e solo un modo di raddrizzare le cose: di prepotenza.
