If you can pump the brake pedal and it firms up and then while holding pressure on it the pedal slowly goes to the floor the master cylinder is bad. It may be worn to the point that it will not build any pressure. If you pump it and it holds then it is probably air in the line. Very hard brake pedal is usually the vacuum booster.
