Bruce Willis Reclaims His Role As An Action Star in “Live Free or Die Hard”
In a movie season filled with CGI fantasy, LIVE FREE OR DIE HARD gets real — with real action, real humor, and the reprise of a beloved and iconic character: John McClane. On the Fourth of July weekend, an attack on the vulnerable United States infrastructure begins to shut down the entire nation. The mysterious figure behind the scheme has figured out every modern angle… but he never figured on McClane — the old-school “analog” fly in the “digital” ointment.
It’s the beginning of the holiday, but New York City Detective McClane isn’t celebrating. He’s had yet another argument with his college-age daughter Lucy, and received a crushingly routine assignment to bring in a young hacker, Matt Farrell, for questioning by the FBI. But for McClane, the ordinary has a habit of exploding into the extraordinary — abruptly hurtling him into the wrong place at the wrong time.
With Farrell’s help, McClane slowly begins to understand the increasing chaos surrounding him. An attack is underway on the vulnerable United States infrastructure, shutting down the entire nation. The mysterious figure behind the scheme, Thomas Gabriel, stays several moves ahead of McClane as he implements his incredible plans, known to uber-geeks like Farrell as a “fire sale” (as in, everything must go!).

What big budget high action-packed film doesn’t have loads of CGI these days?
Keith (Mr Wall) says
oh, I know that.
I just like how the opening line says “in a movie season filled with CGi fantasy, LIVE FREE OR DIE HARD gets real” I have to joke about how they don’t consider all the action sequences in this movie another version of CGi’d fantasy
Sam says
Good point Keith, I too found that part of the press release also a bit ironic in light of the film being pushed. 😉
