The Plot... A cargo jet loaded with nuclear warheads has been stolen by computer genius (John Lithgow). With the aid of a private weapons hacker, the NCRP hopes to intercept the borrowed goods and get them back to their original owner. The NCRP, with the help of Jackson Henchgood (Nicholas Cage), must ski through the Swiss Alps to return the hijacked thermo-nuclear explosives in a timely manner to the Icelandic people. And if this wasn't enough, he has a smidge less than 6 minutes to do it. With the aid of a leather-faced navy seal (Robert Duvall), our heroes must ski through the rain forest to deliver the stolen thermo-nuclear explosives in a timely manner to the English military. The Predicament worsens as he realises that his old flame (Angelina Jolie) has been carjacked by the the bad guys. Added to the mix you see the loveable antics of a jive talkin' soul brother (Dave Chapelle) who when held prisoner by the evildoers says: "What kinda FUCKED up place is this?!?!" It will prove difficult because an old rival with a score to settle (Lawrence Fishburne) has secrets about his ugly life of crime. Just as our hero are departing on their perlious mission, they slowly lapse into a sing-along of Magic Carpet Ride much to the dismay of the NCRP . In a stunning climax the President recites a speech to the governments of the world. As this dramatic grandstanding unfolds he says: "This has been the most difficult decision I have ever had to make. Drop the bombs, Commander." A PETA explosives specialist in the crowd retorts: "He better be right... for our sake." Coming this spring. Rated R Running time 292 minutes Directed by: Tony Scott Projected Critic Rating:
