Storyline
On Christmas Eve 1990, two years after the Nakatomi Tower Incident, former New York city police officer John McClane is now working for the Los Angeles police department and is waiting at Washington Dulles International Airport for his wife Holly to arrive from Los Angeles. Learning that Cochrane was believed to have been killed in action while serving in Honduras, McClane relates the situation to airport police captain Carmine Lorenzo, who bluntly dismisses his concerns.

“The movie is the movie, and the book is the book. They're different critters, and each must stand on their own merits.”
