Die harder.
One year after his heroics in Los Angeles, John McClane is an off-duty cop who is the wrong guy in the wrong place at the wrong time. On a snowy Christmas Eve, as he waits for his wife's plane to land at Washington Dulles International Airport, terrorists take over the air traffic control system in a plot to free a South American army general and drug smuggler being flown into the US to face drug charges. It's now up to McClane to take on the terrorists, while coping with an inept airport police chief, an uncooperative anti-terrorist squad, and the life of his wife and everyone else trapped in planes circling overhead.

Det. Lt. John McClane wartet am Dulles Airport in Washington D.C. auf seine Frau Holly, die mit einem Flieger aus Los Angeles anreist, um mit ihm Weihnachten zu verbringen. Das Wetter ist miserabel: Schneestürme. Aber die meteorologischen Widrigkeiten sind nicht der Grund dafür, dass Hollys Maschine in der Luft bleiben muss. Der südamerikanische Drogen-Boss und Diktator Esperanza soll zur gleichen Zeit an die US-Behörden ausgeliefert werden. Aber Esperanza hat seine Flucht längst penibel vorbereitet. Unter Führung des ehemaligen Colonels Stuart, der inzwischen als Terrorist arbeitet, hat eine Spezialtruppe den Flughafen in ihre Gewalt gebracht. Die Kämpfer kontrollieren auch den Funkverkehr und die Computerzentrale, um Esperanza zur Flucht verhelfen zu können. Einmal mehr muss McClane als Einmann-Spezialeinheit die Lage bereinigen.
