The Plot... A cargo plane full of CIA information has been hijacked by a former U.S. General (Gene Hackman). With the aid of a government computer expert, the ATF hopes to intercept the borrowed goods and return them to their owner. The NCAA, with the assistance of Bufford Speedstitch (Denzel Washington), must race through the rain forest to return the hijacked thermo-nuclear explosives promptly to the Argentinian military. As if it wasn't hard enough, he has only 15 hours to do it. With the assistance of a crochety marine (Robert Duvall), the good guy must ski through the New Jersy Turnpike to return the stolen CIA information promptly to the Japanese people. The Predicament turns sour as he realises that his high school sweetheart (Charlize Theron) has been working with the the bad guys. Added to the mix we have the loveable antics of a jive talkin' soul brother (Dave Chapelle) who when kidnapped by the evildoers says: "What kinda FUCKED up place is this?!?!" All this won't be easy seeing that a cop with a vendetta (Lawrence Fishburne) has information pertaining to his ugly life of crime. Just as our hero are setting out on their dangerous journey, they suddenly lapse into a sing-along of Magic Carpet Ride much to the disappointment of the NCRP . At the final moment the President fumbles through a speech to the citizens of the world. While this moment of truth drags on he says: "Mankind is a creature of survival. This is the dawn of a new tomorrow." An FBI chemical expert watching at home retorts: "I hope god is on our side."
Coming next spring. Rated PG-13 Projected Critic Rating: |
