"Live Free or Die Hard" Movie Preview

If Sylvester Stallone can step back into the ring at the age of 60 (and return for another Rambo movie) and Harrison Ford can go on another adventure as Indiana Jones at 64, then why shouldn't 51-year-old Bruce Willis return to kick some serious butt one more time in another Die Hard movie? Willis is in great shape and since the last Die Hard movie in 1995, he's contined to mix starring roles in action movies with films from other genres. It shouldn't take much to convince audiences Willis can still handle the role of John McClane, or at least not as much convincing as it took for moviegoers to accept Stallone returning to the Rocky franchise after leaving it behind in 1990.

Willis remains as the leading man but there's a different guy behind the camera for the fourth Die Hard film. John McTiernan helmed the first and third films while Renny Harlin stepped in for the second film of the series. Len Wiseman, the filmmaker behind the Underworld movies, is tackling his first film outside of that horror movie franchise. Live Free or Die Hard (aka Die Hard 4) should be a real test of his skills as an action director.

The Story - The first film took place in an LA skyscraper, the second found McClane squaring off with terrorists in an airport, and the third Die Hard movie paired up Willis with Samuel L Jackson hunting down a bomber. This fourth movie takes on a terrorist whose goal is to shut down the United States by attacking its computer infrastructure.
