After Die Hard blew the doors off movie theaters, there was no doubt that Bruce Willis�s one-man-army of a cop would hit the big screen again, even harder. And Die Hard 2 made it happen�doubling down on the explosive action. And just like the original blockbuster, the sensational sequel leaped from the pages of a suspense master�s pulse-pounding novel�
A massive blizzard has shut down nearly every East Coast airport, stranding travelers on the ground and in the air. But those circling the skies above New York�s Kennedy Airport have far more to worry about than missed connections. When the control tower�s radar suddenly goes dark, a mysterious caller known only as �Number One� announces that the countdown to terror has begun. Nineteen planes, and their helpless passengers, are now airborne hostages�in the ruthless hands of a dangerous man on a deadly mission. And if the U.S. government doesn�t bow to his demands, hell will rain from above as one jetliner after another exhausts its fuel� and plunges to earth. With only 58 minutes between life and death, there may be nothing anyone can do�except one New York City cop, with nerves of steel, attitude to burn, and a reputation for being hard on crime�and even harder to kill.
