Die Hard Prequel

Easter

Act 1:

The year is 1985, and John McClane, a rookie cop with the NYPD, is spending Easter weekend in Los Angeles visiting his estranged wife, Holly Gennero, and their two children. Holly has taken a job with the Nakatomi Corporation, a multinational conglomerate, and the family is attending an Easter party at Nakatomi Plaza.

As McClane arrives at the party, tensions between him and Holly are evident. Their marriage is strained, and McClane struggles with balancing his career and family life. Meanwhile, inside the lavish Nakatomi Plaza, tensions of a different kind are brewing.

Act 2:

A group of terrorists led by Hans Gruber seizes control of Nakatomi Plaza, intending to steal millions in bearer bonds from the company's vault. McClane, separated from the party during the chaos, becomes the terrorists' only obstacle to achieving their goal.

As the situation escalates, McClane finds himself in a cat-and-mouse game with Gruber and his men, using his resourcefulness and NYPD training to outsmart them at every turn. Along the way, he discovers that Holly is among the hostages and vows to protect her and the other innocent partygoers.

Act 3:

With the help of a local LAPD officer named Al Powell, who McClane communicates with via radio, McClane orchestrates a series of daring escapes and confrontations with the terrorists. Despite being outnumbered and outgunned, McClane's determination and ingenuity allow him to gain the upper hand.

As Easter Sunday dawns, McClane faces off against Gruber in a final showdown atop Nakatomi Plaza. In a climactic battle, McClane defeats Gruber and his remaining henchmen, saving the hostages and preventing the theft of the bearer bonds.

In the aftermath, McClane reconciles with Holly, and they reaffirm their love for each other. As they leave Nakatomi Plaza, battered but triumphant, McClane reflects on the events of the past 24 hours and the true meaning of Easter: redemption, renewal, and the enduring power of family.
