Detailed Information

On a snowy Christmas Eve in the nation’s capital, a team of terrorists has seized a major international airport and now holds thousands of holiday travellers hostage.

The terrorists, a renegade band of crack military commandos led by a murderous rogue officer (William Sadler), have come to rescue a drug lord from justice. They’ve prepared for every contingency except one: John McClane, an off-duty cop gripped with a feeling of deadly déjà vu.

Bruce Willis returns as the heroic cop who battles not only terrorists, but also an incompetent airport police chief (Dennis Franz), the hard headed commander (John Amos) of the Army’s anti terrorist squad and a deadly winter snowstorm. The runways are littered with death and destruction, and McClane is in a race against time. His wife (Bonnie Bedelia) is trapped on one of the planes circling overhead, which is desperately low on fuel.

It’s all out war, a heart-stopping, jet-propelled journey filled with excitement and terror. Fasten your seat belts!
