Storyline

John McClane is now almost a full-blown alcoholic and is suspended from the NYPD. But when a bomb goes off in the Bonwit Teller Department Store the police go insane trying to figure out what's going on. Soon, a man named Simon calls and asks for McClane. Simon tells Inspector Walter Cobb that McClane is going to play a game called "Simon Says". He says that McClane is going to do the tasks he assigns him. If not, he'll blow off another bomb. With the help of a Harlem electrician, John McClane must race all over New York trying to figure out the frustrating puzzles that the crafty terrorist gives him. But when a bomb goes off in a subway station right by the Federal Reserve (the biggest gold storage in the world) things start to get heated up. Written by SARSman1793

Trivia

The main theme for this movie is "When Johnny comes Marching Home," an Irish song made famous in America by Patrick Sarsfield Gilmore aka Louis Lambert in 1863. This is the first Die Hard Movie where audiences got to see John McClane battling a terrorist in his home town (New York). The previous two movies had him battling terrorists in L.A. and Washington D.C., both of which were simply places he was visiting on holiday at the time. See more »

Goofs

Continuity: When McClane drops onto the subway train, his police shield appears to be missing but actually John has clearly tucked it into his tank top while he was running. When he crashes through the window it has appears to have reappeared, but has actually just come out of his shirt. He was wearing it the whole time. See more »
