Storyline

John McClane is now almost a full-blown alcoholic and is suspended from the NYPD. But when a bomb goes off in the Bonwit Teller Department Store the police go insane trying to figure out what's going on. Soon, a man named Simon calls and asks for McClane. Simon tells Inspector Walter Cobb that McClane is going to play a game called "Simon Says". He says that McClane is going to do the tasks he assigns him. If not, he'll blow off another bomb. With the help of a Harlem electrician, John McClane must race all over New York trying to figure out the frustrating puzzles that the crafty terrorist gives him. But when a bomb goes off in a subway station right by the Federal Reserve (the biggest gold storage in the world) things start to get heated up. Written by SARSman1793

Goofs

Incorrectly regarded as goofs: When John McClane is going over the rock and lands at Central Park the rear tire can be seen coming off, but in the next scene the taxi still has all four tires. However, watching it frame by frame you see the taxi cab come down and it doesn't have chrome hubcaps, the loose wheel does, and just before the shot changes, you see the taxi's wheel still intact, never having fallen off. The rogue wheel is from the taxicab they land on. See more »
