It is revealed that the Woodlawn building is actually an facility intended to back up the nation's personal and financial records in the event of a cyber attack.

Using John Carlin's Wired magazine article entitled 'A Farewell to Arms', Marconi crafted a screenplay about a cyber-terrorist attack on the United States.

The attack procedure is known as a 'fire sale', depicting a three-stage coordinated attack on a country's transportation, telecommunications, financial, and utilities infrastructure systems. After the September 11, 2001 attacks, the project was stalled, only to be resurrected several years later and rewritten into Live Free or Die Hard by and eventually by.Willis said in 2005 that the film would be called Die Hard 4.0, as it revolves around computers and cyber-terrorism. Later reported the film was to be called Die Hard: Reset instead. Later announced the title as Live Free or Die Hard and set a release date of June 29, 2007 with filming to begin in September 2006. The title is based on 's state motto, ', which is attributed to a quote from General. International trailers use the Die Hard 4.0 title, as the film was released outside North America with that title.

Early into the film's DVD commentary, both Wiseman and Willis note a preference for the title Die Hard 4.0. Visual effects For the visual effects used throughout the film, actor Bruce Willis and director Len Wiseman stated that they wanted to use a limited amount of. One VFX producer said that 'Len was insisting on the fact that, because we’ve got and other big CG movies coming out, this one has to feel more real. It has to be embedded in some kind of practical reality in order to give it that edge of being a Die Hard.' Companies such as Digital Dimension, R!ot, Pixel Magic, and Amalgamated Pixels assisted in the film's visual effects.Digital Dimension worked on 200 visual effects shots in the film, including the sequence that shows characters John McClane and Matt Farrell crouching between two cars as another car lands on top of the other cars.

To achieve this effect, a crane yanked the car and threw it in the air onto the two cars that were also being pulled by cables. The shot was completed when the two characters were integrated into the footage of the car stunt after the lighting was adjusted and CGI glass and debris were added. In the same sequence, John McClane destroys a helicopter that several of Gabriel's henchman are riding in by ramming it with a car. This was accomplished by first filming one take where one of Gabriel's henchman, Rand, jumps from the helicopter, and in the next take the car is propelled into the stationary helicopter as it is hoisted by wires. The final view of the shot overlays the two takes, with added CGI for the debris and moving rotor blades. The company also assisted in adding cars for traffic collisions and masses of people for evacuations from several government buildings.The Orphanage developed a multi-level freeway interchange for use in one of the film's final scenes by creating a digital environment and a 1,000-foot (300 m) long spiral ramp that was built in front of a.

When a F-35 jet is chasing McClane on the freeway, a miniature model and a full-size prop were both built to assist in digitally adding the jet into the scene. The nine-foot model was constructed from November 2006 through February 2007. When the jet is shown hovering near the freeway, editors used the software 3D graphics program to blur the background and create a heat ripple effect. Filming and injuries. Justin Long, Bruce Willis, and Len Wiseman filming on location in Baltimore.Filming for Live Free or Die Hard started in downtown Baltimore, Maryland on September 23, 2006. Eight different sets were built on a large soundstage for filming many scenes throughout the film.

When recording the sound for the semi trailer used in one of the film's final scenes, 18 microphones were used to record the engine, tires, and damage to the vehicle. Post-production for the film only took 16 weeks, when it was more common for similar films to use 26 weeks. An used during filming.In order to prevent possible injuries and be in peak condition for the film, Willis worked out almost daily for several months prior to filming. Willis was injured on January 24, 2007 during a fight scene, when he was kicked above his right eye by a stunt double for actress Maggie Q who was wearing stiletto heels. Willis described the event as 'no big deal' but when Len Wiseman inspected his injury, he noticed that the situation was much more serious than previously thought—in the DVD commentary, Wiseman indicates in inspecting the wound that he could see bone.

Demons to diamonds video game. Willis was hospitalized and received seven stitches which ran through his right eyebrow and down into the corner of his eye. Due to the film's non-linear production schedule, these stitches can accidentally be seen in the scene where McClane first delivers Farrell to Bowman.Throughout filming, between 200 and 250 stunt people were used. Bruce Willis' stunt double, was knocked unconscious when he fell 25 feet (7.6 m) from a fire escape to the pavement.

Rippenkroeger suffered broken bones in his face, several broken ribs, a punctured lung, and fractures in both wrists. Due to his injuries, production was temporarily shut down.

Willis personally paid the hotel bills for Rippenkroeger's parents and visited him a number of times at the hospital.recalls rewriting scenes on the set of Live Free or Die Hard in his spoken word film. Rating In the United States, the first three films in the were rated R by the. Live Free or Die Hard, however, was edited to obtain a PG-13 rating. In some cases, alternate profanity-free dialogue was shot and used or swearing was cut out in post-production to reduce profanity.

Director Len Wiseman commented on the rating, saying 'It was about three months into it production, and I hadn't even heard that it was PG-13. But in the end, it was just trying to make the best Die Hard movie, not really thinking so much about what the rating would be.' Bruce Willis was upset with the studio's decision, stating, 'I really wanted this one to live up to the promise of the first one, which I always thought was the only really good one.

That's a studio decision that is becoming more and more common, because they’re trying to reach a broader audience. It seems almost a courageous move to give a picture an R rating these days. But we still made a pretty hardcore, smashmouth film.'

Willis said he thought that viewers unaware that it was not an R-rated film would not suspect so due to the level and intensity of the action as well as the usage of some profanity, although he admitted these elements were less intense than in the previous films. He also said that this film was the best of the four: 'It's unbelievable.

I just saw it last week. I personally think, it's better than the first one.' In the United Kingdom, the awarded the film a 15 rating (including the unrated version, released later), the same as and, albeit both were cut for both theatrical and video release, (the first film in the series originally received an 18 certificate). All films have been re-rated 15 uncut. Die Hard 4.0 was released with no cuts made and the cinema version (i.e. US PG-13 version) consumer advice read that it 'contains frequent action violence and one use of strong language'.

The unrated version was released on DVD as the 'Ultimate Action Edition' with the consumer advice 'contains strong language and violence'.In Australia, Die Hard 4.0 was released with the PG-13 cut with an M rating, the same as the others in the series (The Australian Classification Board is less strict with regards to language and to a lesser extent, violence). The unrated version was later released on DVD and Blu-ray also with an M rating. The film notably was never released in home media with its theatrical cut, and has only been released in Australia as the extended edition.Reception Box office Live Free or Die Hard debuted at #2 behind, at the U.S. Box office and made $9.1 million in its first day of release in 3,172 theaters, the best opening day take of any film in the Die Hard series (not taking inflation into account).

On, the film has a score of 69 out of 100, based on 34 critics, indicating 'generally favorable reviews'.IGN stated 'Like the recent, this new Die Hard works as both its own story about an over-the-hill but still vital hero and as a nostalgia trip for those who grew up with the original films.' On the television show, film critic and guest critic Katherine Tulich both gave the film 'two thumbs up', with Roeper stating that the film is 'not the best or most exciting Die Hard, but it is a lot of fun' and that it is his favorite among the Die Hard sequels.

Contents Passing his algorithm leads to dangerFarrell was among the hackers to pass his math-based security algorithm to what he thought were security experts conducting an exercise to see if the Fire Sale could happen, not knowing that they are actually a team of cyber-terrorists.Later, in his, Farrell chats with online. Then he sees that his system began to malfunction.

Just when he was about to press the delete button, which had the pre-planted bomb. But someone knocked on his door. He went to his door and it was, a New York police dete. McClane convinces him to let him in.As Farrell asked what McClane was doing in his apartment, he tells the hacker the Cyber Security Division wants to question him regarding a computer breach.

Farrell realizes that he's probably caught doing his passing of his code to some people. Farrell pretends that he's powering down his network. When McClane wasn't looking at him, Farrell tries to escape to the window that leads to the fire escape, but the window is jammed. Struggling to open it up, a shot rang out from the sniper out by a parking lot. McClane gets Farrell down to the ground as the sniper continued to fire at them. After McClane fired back at the sniper, he and Farrell crawled down to the front door.McClane escorts Farrell to the nearby elevator. Then they see shadows of the hitmen coming up the stairways.

After McClane killed one of them by firing his SIG-Sauer P220 pistol at the fire extinguisher he threw at him, Farrell goes back to his apartment as McClane told him to do. When Farrell was trying to deadbolt the door, McClane tells him to get out of there when he was pushing the refrigerator to block the hitmen from going in. Farrell hid in his bedroom behind the wall during the shootout. McClane crawled to the bedroom after killing another assassin. Then Farrell watches as McClane spends his ammo against the third guy.

As the hitmen was getting closer, a Terminator action statue, which was hit by McClane's gunfire, accidently hit the delete button on Farrell's keyboard and it detonated the bomb in his computer, which killed the third hitman. Farrell and McClane survived the explosion since they were covered by the wall in his room.Farrell was shocked by what just happened. Then McClane escorted Farrell to the fire escape. As they went down to the alley, McClane tells him to get in his car.

As Farrell went to the passenger seat, McClane starts the car and moves the car in reverse to another part of the alley. As McClane tells Farrell to get a extra magazine out of the glove box, an assassin named breaks the car window and puts a choke hold on McClane. Farrell tries to get for the machine gun at the back seat, but was wasn't able to reach for it, which prompts McClane to drive the car forward and ram Del off him with a garbage bin.

Then the sniper, jumps down to get them. Farrell went down as McClane drives Rand off the gate and into the wall of the building.

Farrell was amazed at McClane's actions.As they drove out of his apartment, Farrell was shaking due to the adrenaline. McClane tells him it will pass. Farrell asked him if he was scared, to which McClane responds that he was scared, despite his calmness. Farrell wondered if he done the kind of stuff before. McClane admits that he did all that stuff a long time ago. Farrell asked who those guys were and why they blew up his apartment. McClane replies that they were there to kill him.

The hacker asked McClane why would the hitmen try to kill him and McClane replies that he is the only one who knows since he is the criminal. Farrell looks the cop for a bit as they were heading for the FBI office in Washington DC.Fire SaleAs Farrell was asleep in McClane's car in the next morning, Farrell was rudely awakened when McClane turned up the music volume that had a classic rock song. He complained about how classic rock music sucked back then.

But McClane turned up the volume even louder, which displeased Farrell. Later, they ran into traffic. McClane was searching on the radio for the news of the shooting on Camden, when Farrell stated the news was completely manipulative and could spread fear to the public. As he complained about it, McClane told him to shut up. Farrell was about to say something when a truck suddenly hit a taxi in front of them, which then hit them on the intersection. McClane asked if he was okay and Farrell said he wasn't alright since he is shaken by what just happened.

As McClane found out all the traffic lights are green, he got Farrell out of the car. Farrell asked where they were going, McClane said that they are jogging to the.McClane and Farrell arrived in the Hoover Building that was under quarantined by Hazmet due to the anthrax scare.

The duo reached the mobile command center and McClane and Farrell are met by FBI Deputy Director. Farrell asked if he could eat something since he didn't ate since yesterday; then he saw the pictures of the dead hackers and recognized that they were his competition when they passed their algorithm to them. McClane asked if he knew the people on the wall and Farrell denied the statement. After the terrorist broadcast messaged through various footages of US Presidents, Farrell realized that the cyber-terrorists were committing on operation called, to which Bowman cut him off to tell him that they didn't know that for sure.

Agent said it was a myth and it couldn't be done. But McClane asked what the Fire Sale was. Farrell then explained to McClane that Fire Sale is a three-step systematic on a national computer infrastructure that shuts down all transportation, financial and utility systems. Bowman showed less interest in his theory, but McClane vouched that he may be right. Bowman got his assistant to have motorcade set up to take Farrell to DHS headquarters.As McClane and Farrell left the mobile headquarters, They were met by and were taken to the FBI police car. As Johnson tells Agent to tell DC Metro to call the route for them to avoid the traffic due to the shutdown of the traffic grid.

McClane demands Farrell to tell the truth about the dead hackers. Then Farrell confesses that he and those hackers passed their algorithms, including his math-based security algorithm, to the people who they thought were a software firm that developed a mutating encryption code and wanted to see if they can be broken, but in reality, they were cyber-terrorists who are committing the fire sale. Farrell says that he had no idea that he was going to be accessory into the terrorist attack.

Then he recognizes the dispatcher's voice as the he spoke too he passed algorithm to them. He was present McClane takes the radio and learns that the dispatcher is a fake. The speaks to McClane saying that he read a lot of his file and personal life and erased his 401k accounts. The mastermind tries to blackmail McClane into killing Farrell, but McClane refuses to do so, which relieves Farrell that McClane wouldn't murder him over blackmail.Then the helicopter came out of nowhere and Del killed Johnson, Laughlin and another agent. Farrell went on the front seat and went down as McClane took over the FBI police car and drives away from the helicopter.

He sees McClane drives over the fire hydrant and the flow of water hits Del which causes him to fall out of the helicopter and hitting the ground below. Farrell warns McClane that the helicopter is back and spots a tunnel to their left as McClane turns to the onramp to avoid gunfire from Rand. As they drive into the large tunnel, Farrell and McClane sees cars occupying all four lanes in the opposite direction, blocking them in. Then another of cars block them in from the other directions and the tunnel lights were turned off. Farrell got out of the car, despite McClane's warning as the flow of cars were in. McClane rushed to save Farrell and pulls him away from one of the cars. Then he and McClane ducked from an flying car into two cars in between them.

Then McClane escorted Farrell to the pillar nearby before an runaway tow truck can hit them. When the pile-up was over, McClane tells Farrell to stay as he goes and deals with the terrorist helicopter that's near the exit where they came in from. After McClane destroys the helicopter with the FBI police car, Farrell rushes over to him and tended to him since he is clearly hurt. Farrell states his impression to McClane he just killed a helicopter with a car. McClane asked Farrell if he was alright and he says that he's fine. Farrell helps McClane up as they leave the tunnel.Tracking the cyber-terroristsMcClane and Ferrell head to the Eastern Power Hub.After they left the tunnel, Farrell noticed that McClane is in pain and suggests that he should go to a doctor.

McClane says they don't need the doctor, they need the cops.As they arrived in the police in the effort to try to get help, Farrell is horrified by the grim reality of the fire sale. With no sign of getting help, they left the station. Then McClane tried to call Bowman, but Farrell says that phone could be cracked by the cyber-terrorists, which prompts McClane to break it and take someone else's phone. They went to the alley and Farrell stands by as McClane informs Bowman about their current situation. Then Farrell and McClane watched something on the news that has been hacked by the cyber-terrorists and send a taunting message to the world.

Then the US Capitol exploded on screen, which shocks everyone who saw it. Then Farrell follows McClane as they ran to see the Capitol and both of them see that the footage was a fake. Then he and McClane returned to the alley. Farrell shows his regrets over his initial thoughts of the fire sale, but says that he wrote one piece of code and the world is tore apart.

McClane says it's not about the system. It's about a country full of people terrified over the situation and convinces him to help him track the cyber-terrorists. Farrell says the Fire Sale is mostly done online, but major utilities are closed-circuit and they will have to go there physically to shut them down. He takes the PDA from McClane and relinks to the SATCOM's since he suspects that the terrorists are using them to communicate with each other. He reveals the electrical grid of America and shows McClane the in Middleton, West Virginia. He says that if they take the power station down, it will wipe out all the power in the Eastern corridor, but they have to do it manually. When McClane decides to go there, Farrell tries to talk him out of it, but reluctantly follows him.They later decide to take a car to drive to West Virginia.

When McClane was about to hotwire the car, Farrell warns not to do so and slams a trash bin to the front of the car to stop him, which lets out the airbags. Then the On-Star operator speaks at the intercom and Farrell poses a man whose father is dying. After awhile, he hysterically convinces the operator to start the car for them and it starts. McClane then drives himself and Farrell to the power station.As they cross the border of West Virginia, McClane says that he did good back there with the operator and such.

Farrell admits that he is not heroic and brave like him. Farrell says that he saved his life around 10 times. McClane says he was just doing his job and says what being a hero does to you.

McClane bitterly says he's been divorced from his wife and his children, and are not speaking to him. Farrell asked why he is doing what they are doing now and McClane says that there is no else to do it. Farrell figures out that what makes McClane that kind of guy as they headed for the power hub.Later that night, McClane and Farrell arrived in the power station. As McClane checked the area, Farrell followed. Once they reached the security control room, Farrell was shocked that the bodies of two security guards were found, confirming his suspicion. Farrell finds out that they will shut down power from the central control room on the fourth floor.

As they were going up the stairs, Farrell was barely keeping up. Then he got back when McClane easily defeats and kills one of the terrorists in the stairway.As they reached the central control room, McClane takes a female cyber-terrorist name at gunpoint while Farrell tries to undo the damage to the central control room. But Mai proves to be a formidable hand-to-hand combatant and beats down McClane. But McClane then attacks Mai attack as Farrell watched in shock.

Then he sees McClane knocking Mai out. Then Farrell continues to work to redo Mai's work. Then Mai regained consciousness and kicks McClane out of the window. Then Farrell tries to throw a right fist at her, but Mai easily grabs and twists his right arm. Mai tells to undo everything he just did.

As he was undoing everything, McClane, who survived the fall, rams a SUV over Mai as she was about to kill Farrell.As McClane was climbing out of the dangling SUV in the elevator, one of the Mai's henchman fired at him. But Farrell approached from behind and hits the terrorist with the pipe, causing to fall into the shaft. He yells out to McClane to get out of the SUV before it can get loose.
