What happens

Deadly Outbreak (released in certain markets as Deadly Takeover) is an action film released by US-Israeli company Nu Image in 1996, and directed by former stuntman Rick Avery. Set in Israel, it is an unofficial remake of the 1988 film Die Hard, with the last act of the film also borrowing heavily from the 1994 film Speed, released two years earlier. The film was rated 3.2 on the Letterbox site. According to IMDb, this film was edited into Steven Seagal's Ticker. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
