''Die Hard with a Vengeance'' is a 1995 American action film and the third in the ''Die Hard'' film series. It was produced and directed by John McTiernan (who directed ''Die Hard''), written by Jonathan Hensleigh, and stars Bruce Willis as New York City Police Department Lieutenant John McClane, Samuel L. Jackson as McClane's reluctant partner Zeus Carver, and Jeremy Irons as Simon Peter Gruber. It was released on May 19, 1995, five years after ''Die Hard 2'', and was followed by ''Live Free or Die Hard'' and ''A Good Day to Die Hard'' in 2007 and 2013, respectively. ==Plot== In New York City, the Bonwit Teller department store is destroyed by a bomb during the morning commute. The New York City Police Department receive a call from a man calling himself "Simon", ordering them that suspended police officer Lt. John McClane be dropped in Harlem wearing a sandwich board that says "I hate niggers" and threatening to detonate another bomb if they don't comply. They collect McClane and follow Simon's instructions; McClane is saved from a potential attack by a group of young men by Zeus Carver, a nearby shop owner. McClane and Carver escape and return to headquarters, where Simon calls again and threatens to detonate more bombs if McClane and Carver do not follow his instructions. Simon sends the two on a series of children's riddles. At one point, he tells them to reach Wall Street station 90 blocks south, within 30 minutes to stop a bomb planted on a Brooklyn-bound 3 train. McClane manages to board the subway while Carver drives the rest of the way. Though McClane locates the bomb and throws it off the train, it still detonates, derailing the train and sending it tearing through the station, though with minimal injuries due to Carver's warnings. As McClane and Carver regroup with the police, they are met by FBI agents, who reveal Simon is likely Peter Krieg, a former Colonel in the East German People's Army and a mercenary-for-hire. Krieg is likely after McClane as Krieg's birth name is Simon Peter Gruber, the brother of Hans Gruber whom McClane killed in Nakatomi Towers 7 years before. Simon calls into the police again, knowing the FBI is there, and warns that he has planted another bomb in a public school somewhere in the city, and further it is rigged with a radio detonator that may be triggered by the police band. Simon tells them that he will get McClane and Carver the school's location if they continue to play his game. While McClane and Carver set off on Simon's next task, the police organize all the city's public works to begin searching schools, using 9-1-1 to coordinate activities. As McClane continues to solve Simon's riddles, he recognizes that Simon is using the school bomb distraction to draw the police away from Wall Street. They arrive too late to find that Simon and his agents used the destruction of the subway station to dig into the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and stolen $140 billion of gold bullion in 14 dump trucks. They follow the trucks to aqueduct in the New York City Water Tunnel No. 3, and McClane has Carver continue on Simon's games. Within the tunnel he kills some of Simon's men, discovering they have a roll of quarters on them. Simon destroys a cofferdam, flooding the tunnel, but McClane escapes through a vent, ending up near Carver. They recognize the roll of quarters would pay for a toll road, and are able to follow the trucks to a tanker vessel in the Long Island Sound. They sneak aboard, but realize too late it is a trap set by Simon. They are tied to the real bomb - the one in the school simply a decoy to keep the authorities busy - and Simon says he will destroy the tanker, redistributing the bullion across the Sound. McClane is able to convince Simon to give him a bottle of aspirin before they depart. Once Simon departs, McClane is able to free them from the bomb moments before it explodes, sinking the tanker. As McClane and Carver are debriefed by the police, McClane says that he knows Simon too well, and reports that none of the bullion was on the tanker as part of a larger ruse. Without any trace to follow, Carver tells McClane he should call his estranged wife Holly. As McClane does so, he finds the bottle of aspirin came from a hotel just inside the Quebec border. McClane, Carver, and the police launch an attack on a warehouse near the hotel where Simon and his men are in the process of distributing the wealth and planning their escape. The rest of the men are captured, while Simon and his girlfriend attempt escape in a helicopter, firing upon McClane. McClane is able to shoot an overhead power line so that it falls onto the helicopter, sending it to a crash landing and killing all aboard. With the bullion located and Simon dead, Carver convinces McClane to finish that call to his wife. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Die Hard with a Vengeance」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
