Have the battery charged and tested first.

Does the engine turn over?

If yes, have someone tap on the bottom of the gas tank with the palm of their hand while you crank the engine.

Could be a fuel pump that is stuck.

Could also be a bad engine speed sensor (crankshaft position sensor). They start to fail when they get hot. Might re-start after it has cooled down.
