Bruce Willis returns as misfit cop
John McClane in the third film in the
Die Hard series.
McClane has fallen on hard times; after moving to New York City and breaking up with his wife, he's developed a drinking problem and has been suspended from the NYPD. However, his past comes back to haunt him in the form of
Simon (
Jeremy Irons), a terrorist bomber who has been using
McClane as his contact as he plants a series of bombs in public places and gives
McClane inane "clues" to their whereabouts in the form of riddles and bizarre games.
McClane soon discovers he's been involved in
Simon's scheme as part of a personal grudge; while associated with an international terrorist group,
Simon is also the brother of the man
McClane threw off the side of a skyscraper several years back (in the original
Die Hard). Now
McClane, with the help of a Harlem shopkeeper named
Zeus (
Samuel L. Jackson), has to find out where
Simon has planted the bombs, guess where he'll strike next, and try to find his base of operations before more bombs go off and thousands of people die. The supporting cast features
Graham Greene and
Colleen Camp; singer
Sam Phillips made her acting debut as a member of
Simon's terrorist group (
Phillips never speaks, so as to not to reveal her Texas accent).
