Die Hard 4 – A tribute to computer hackers

It’s in the theaters now and as expected has been a box-office hit। Bruce, as John McClane, never fails awe his audience with his charisma and subtle style. Die Hard continues to trill its audience with its state-of-the-art action sequence, story-telling and special effects. What differentiates this movie from its predecessors is the plot.
This sequel is based on some malefic computer hackers who intend to upset the entire nation by hacking defunct into every aspect of the city rules and breaking law. Bruce has the assignment of deporting a hacker (played by Timothy Olyphant) to the safe custody of FBI. However this hacker’s life is in grave danger as he has a considerable know-how about the hacking technique that is going to be implemented by the bad-guys to upset the nation.
With the entire FBI team traveling, Bruce has to fight the world alone all this while. Bruce’s adversaries include a cold-blooded point-man nailing him from a helicopter with hi-fi gadgets and gizmos, a sexy East Asian chick who’s not only tech-savvy but also a deadly karate expert and an athletic weirdo who ends up getting shredded.
There are two action sequences of unprecedented interest, one where unarmed Bruce uses a car to nail down the chopper. The other where a fighter jet toasts the truck Bruce is driving, failing to stop it the jet blows out the bridge! As we are all aware that the good guys always win in the end, this movie too is no exception. To sum it up Die Hard 4 is a good movie to watch if you are an action freak, and a must watch if you are a ‘Die Hard’ Bruce Willis fan.
