Die Hard with a Vengeance

Fopii

After a bomb explodes in the early morning at the Bonwit Teller department store in New York City, a man calling himself "Simon" (Jeremy Irons) telephones the police claiming responsibility, and demands that they play a game of "Simon Says" to prevent any more explosions. Simon orders suspended NYPD Lt. John McClane walk through Harlem wearing a sandwich board displaying racist slurs. Before McClane can be beaten to death by a group of outraged residents, Harlem shopkeeper and black supremacist Zeus Carver (Samuel L. Jackson) steps in to rescue McClane, and together they return to the precinct. There, Simon calls the precinct and takes credit for an Astrolite-like bi-component explosive discovered in a major park. Further investigation reveals that several thousand pounds of it were stolen the night before - Simon has enough explosives to level a city block. As part of the later storyline, it is also revealed that 14 dump trucks were stolen the night before. Simon demands that Carver join McClane for the remainder of his "game", directing them to a payphone at the 72nd Street subway station. Simon reveals that a bomb is on the #3 subway train that is just leaving the station, and tasks the two to reach the Wall Street subway station 90 blocks away in 30 minutes to prevent its detonation. McClane and Carver commandeer a taxi and cut through Central Park to avoid traffic; McClane instructs Carver to continue on surface roads while he gets on the subway car to search for the bomb. Carver arrives at the Wall Street platform at 10:20am, but Simon specifically wanted both Carver and McClane at the station by the deadline, for which then he disappointingly replies on the payphone "I'm afraid this is non-compliance. Goodbye". McClane finds the bomb, now armed, and attempts to throw it off the subway. As the train enters the station, it trips over the detonator, causing the subway car to derail and tear through the station, causing the second terrorist attack in New York City since the 1993 World Trade Center bombing. Fortunately, no one dies in the explosion.
