Die Hard: With a Vengeance -- John Mcclane And A Store Owner Must Play A Bomber's Deadly Game As They Race Around New York While Trying To Stop Him From Causing More Destruction.

Bill Pullman plays Mike Max, a Hollywood producer who struck it rich and gained power in the film industry through his successful series of brutally violent action movies. However, the dedication and balance that Max shows in the office does not translate to his home life, where he can barely find time for his wife Paige (Andie MacDowell). Paige announces that she wants a divorce and Max admits to himself that she suffered emotional hardship at his hands. Seeking meaning in her life, Paige travels to the Third World as a volunteer. An emotionally disconnected Max does not realize the amount of physical and emotional violence in his life until he is facing it directly and he makes it his mission to not only change his life, but to change the way that the business that has made him his fortune addresses brutality.

On the streets of New York City, police officer John McClane (Bruce Willis) has just about seen it all. He's got a nose for danger, a penchant for being in the wrong place at the wrong time and a talent for overcoming incredible odds. But this time, danger is looking for him. Seeking a very personal and mysterious revenge against McClane, a malevolent genius named Simon (Jeremy Irons) is forcing the heroic cop to play a deadly game. The stakes: New York City itself. The game begins when a phone call from Simon sends McClane to Harlem, where he unexpectedly forms an alliance with the very unwilling Zeus Carver (Samuel L. Jackson). McClane and Zeus soon find themselves careening across the Big Apple, pursuing the deadly Simon, who's always one step ahead of them.

In this third film in the Die Hard series, McClane's past comes back to haunt him in the form of Simon, a terrorist bomber who has been using McClane as his contact as he plants bombs in public places and gives McClane "clues" to their whereabouts.
