After 10 years of being stuck in Hollywood development hell, DIE HARD 4 has finally discarded all its previous potential scenarios such as John McClane rescuing his kidnapped daughter in the Amazon, a space shuttle hijacking, terrorists taking over a nuclear silo (among others) and settled on a new premise.
Warning: DO NOT READ THE FOLLOWING UNLESS YOU WANT MAJOR SPOILERS.
Dark Horizons reports that the new movie - titled LIVE FREE OR DIE HARD - will comprise of the following plot:
"Aint it Cool managed a first look at the script and describe the plot as terrorists intending to systematically demolish or seize our technological infrastructure via a three-day plan. These guys will gradually step up malfunctions starting with traffic control systems, working towards economic markets, and finally shutting down key utilities like power and water to send the US essentially into a modern Dark Ages.Like the previous Die Hard's though, an apparent terrorist plot is a smoke screen for the oldest motive in the book - greed. McClane's connection? His just released son, a cyber-thief imprisoned for stealing high security information, who's buddies are the ones behind the plot. Things go badly in their attempt to help the Government and the pair end up on the run".
