The film opens with a plane landing and a nervious John McClain, shown by how he is gripping the arm rest extreamly tightly, and getting advice from the man siting next to him onthe plane, saying he knows what hes talking about, as hes been flying for 9 years. When McClain reaches up to get his bag the man notices that he has a gun and has a look of panic on his face, to whitch John replies that hes a cop, and hes been doing it for 11 years, in what is a "mines bigger than yours" moment. He is seen taking a large stuffes teddy bear out of the locker, for an unkonw recipient at the time. the scene cuts to a mid-shot of John entering an airport lobby lighting up a cigaret, implying that he is a "hard man".
this operning scene is not a generica action film operning as there is no real action of any sort, it dose however set the scene quite well establishing John McClain as a faimly man and a hard man at the same time (the teddy bear under his arm while smokeing a cigaret).
