Now reconciled with Holly (who has adopted a hyphenated last name), John is living in Los Angeles and is serving there as a cop. John and the kids are in Washington, D. C., visiting Holly's parents as he awaits the arrival of Holly's plane. While he's waiting, Special Forces mercenaries seize control of Dulles International Airport.
The terrorist group takes control of the airport's communications and halts planes from landing, including the plane that is carrying his wife. The planes are only fueled for their flight length, so as is, the planes are running on fumes. If demands are not met, or there is an act of non- compliance, the terrorists have the ability to crash planes as they please by wrongly directing them nose- first into the runway by using equipment that can feed the pilots with improper altitude calculations.
Mc. Clane, initially getting almost no help from airport police (led by Police Captain Carmine Lorenzo), takes on the terrorists led by Colonel Stuart himself as Lorenzo makes up his own plan, not taking any of Mc. Clane's predictions or advice into consideration. Mc. Clane gets some help from airport janitor Marvin, who guided him around the airport.
When Lorenzo's SWAT unit is quickly wiped out by Stuart's men in an ambush, Mc. Clane saves Leslie Barnes from being killed and kills three of Stuart's men in the process. Barnes was being escorted to the antenna array in an attempt to store power.
As soon as Mc. Clane and Barnes are about to continue their way out to the array, the array explodes, ruining any chance of communications being restored. In retaliation to the attempted non- compliance, Stuart and his team feed one of the jets improper altitude information. Mc. Clane rushes out to the runway with makeshift light batons in an attempt to try and safely land the plane. Stuart and his men, despite all of Mc. Watch Cake Full Movie. Clane's efforts, cause the plane to crash into the runway, killing over 2.
Mc. Clane is devastated. Later, after learning from a radio that General Esperanza has arrived, Mc. Clane tries to capture him while he's still inside of the plane, but Mc. Clane is ambushed by Stuart and his men. Mc. Clane barely escapes through the use of an ejector seat in the plane after locking himself in the cabin.
Finding Stuart's church based hideout with help from Barnes, Mc. Clane helps in an attack by an Army Special Forces unit led by Major Grant and kills two more of the terrorists, but notices that when he was using one of the terrorists machine guns he wasn't able to cause any harm.
Mc. Clane crashes a snowmobile while in pursuit of the fleeing terrorists. He, again, realizes that the gun he had picked up from one of the terrorists wasn't hitting the target, even when he clearly had the shooter in his sights.
Upon checking, Mc. Clane sees that the gun is loaded with blanks and that its a double cross, and the Special Forces team aren't on his side after all. Mc. Clane runs back to the airport and explains to Carmine what he's discovered. Carmine believes Mc.
Clane is bluffing at first, and dismisses his claims. Mc. Clane verifies his story by firing the blanks off directly at Carmine, proving that he's telling the truth. Carmine then tells all of his men to gear up and prepare to help in stopping Stuart, Esperanza, and now Grant and his men from escaping on a jet.
Carmines attempt to help is rendered totally pointless when Richard Thornburg causes mass panic at the airport by revealing what's actually going on the ground and in air over Dulles International in a live news broadcast from the plane he's on. Mc. Clane then gets Sam Coleman and her news crew to give him a lift in their news chopper. They drop Mc. Clane onto the plane's wing where he jams the ailerons and stops the plane from lifting off. Grant goes out on the wing to check out whats wrong and Mc. Clane manages to kill him in a fight. Stuart then emerges onto the wing, and he's physically superior to Mc.
