When a criminal plot is in place to take down the entire
computer and technological structure that supports the
economy of the United States (and the world), it's up to
a decidedly "old school" hero, police detective
John McClane (Willis), to take down the conspiracy, aided
by a young hacker (Long).

Bruce Willis's stunt double, Larry Rippenkroeger, was
seriously injured when he fell 25 feet to the pavement.
He suffered broken bones in his face and fractures in
both wrists. Production was temporarily shut down. Willis
picked up the tab at area hotels for Larry's parents and
visited him a number of times at the hospital. Larry also
doubles for James Caan in his TV series, Vegas. Caan came
and visited Larry in the hospital and joked around for
over an hour. Larry told his parents he was glad when
Caan left because he hurt so bad laughing at Caan's
jokes.
Justin Timberlake was in talks to play John McClane's
son.
