LIVE FREE OR DIE HARD is the fourth film in the DIE HARD series. When someone hacks into the computers at the FBI’s Cyber Crime Division, the director decides to round up all the hackers who could have done it. One of the cops that gets ask to help is John McClane (Bruce Willis) who is tasked with bringing a hacker named Matt Farrell (Justin Long) to the FBI. However, as soon as he gets there someone starts shooting into Farrell’s apartment. They escape to Washington, D.C. just as the whole system breaks down and chaos ensues. With telecommunications down across the country, it is up to Farrell’s hacking know-how and McClane’s experience to catch the criminals responsible.
Matt plays Clay, a hacker that helps build code used by the criminals to take down the system. He is in only one scene, making it a mystery why LIVE FREE OR DIE HARD is one of two or three films used in listing Matt’s other roles.
