Quando un gruppo di cyber-terroristi stacca la spina degli U.S.A., gettando l'intero paese nel panico, le autorità federali e l'esercito brancolano letteralmente nel buio. Il veterano John McClane, ancora una volta nel posto sbagliato al momento sbagliato, si troverà così a dover affrontare una minaccia globale da parte dei propri storici nemici giurati: terroristi e tecnologia. L'agente di polizia più coriaceo in circolazione, avvalendosi in questa occasione dell'aiuto di un giovane pirata informatico, può aver perso il pelo ma non il vizio di prendere di petto le situazioni, e conosce sempre e solo un modo di raddrizzare le cose: di prepotenza.
