If the brakes go way down and THEN get very hard, you have a power brake booster problem.
If the brake pedal actually continues to go right down to the floor, you have a hydraulic leak in the brake system and/or have sucked air into the system either due to the leak or perhaps due to excessively worn brakes causing too much piston travel in the calipers or brake cylinders.5
