I suddenly have my iPhone dived to the ground. The glass and plastic layers will stay, but it cracked the front screen of my iPhone it won't turn on. Is any possible way to restart an iPhone with broken and unresponded screen?

First, make sure that your iPhone is fully charged. The reason why you can't turn on your iPhone may be due to a dead battery. Then, you can force it to restart by doing like this: Press and quickly release the volume up button, press and quickly release the volume down button, then press and hold the side button. When the Apple logo appears, release the button.
