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. Written by rcs0411@yahoo.com

Trivia

The screen to the far left of all of Warlock's hacking screens has the auction website eBay open with a Boba Fett action figure being watched, despite the fact that the power had already been cut off by that time in the screenplay. See more »

Goofs

Factual errors: When the government is hit by the first hacker attack, the monitors and screens go dark, implying full power outage. When power is restored, the monitors all revert straight back to displaying programs, rather than to a boot-up screen. See more »
