Imagine this scenario for the next Hollywood blockbuster:
(Maybe the next “Die Hard” sequel)

ASTRONAUTS HELD HOSTAGE IN SPACE STATION BY RUSSIAN HACKERS!

They ask for BIG MONEY ransom, and other miscellaneous eccentricities.

Gov says “We don’t negotiate with terrorists!”

Tensions escalate as relations between US and Russia were already tense, and worsen as they blame each other.

John McClane’s daughter Lucy is one of the astronauts held hostage!

Her hacker boyfriend, Matthew "Matt" Farrell, from the other movie (Die Hard 4) has to help!

Meanwhile John and his son already familiarized with Russia (in Die Hard 5) go back there to kick some hacker ass!

But plot twist!

The hackers were actually anarchists in low earth orbit using a VPN! And they were the astronauts themselves!

Now John McClane and his son must help swindle the US and Russian gov in order to get down Lucy safely and avoid her arrest upon an unauthorized reentry!

They crash safely in ocean water to be greeted by anarchist pirates who (submarine?, sail?, jet ski?), into the sunset!

I’d buy a ticket for that.

Since this is totally not a blueprint for a feasible plan, you know.
