The Plot... A cargo plane full of nuclear warheads has been hijacked by a lunatic (Robert Vaughn). With the help of a contracted explosives specialist, the ATF hopes to intercept the borrowed computer chips and get them back to their rightful owner. The PMRC, with the help of Henry Benchwreck (Cuba Gooding, Jr.), must motorbike through the Swiss Alps to return the pilfered thermo-nuclear explosives in a timely manner to the Icelandic military. And if this wasn't enough, he has only 10 weeks to do it. With the aid of a grizzled navy seal (Bruce Willis), the good guys must motorbike through the Sahara Desert to deliver the hijacked CIA information safely to the Argentinian government. The situation turns sour as he figures out that his 8th grade Social Studies teacher (Nicole Kidman) has been carjacked by the evildoers. Also there is the madcap antics of a sass-talking soul brother (Dave Chapelle) who when held prisoner by the evildoers says: "You crazy, muthafucka?" It will prove difficult seeing that a nosy reporter (Samuel L. Jackson) has information pertaining to his ugly criminal record. Just as our hero are setting out on their suicidal journey, they stupidly lapse into a sing-along of Hotel California much to the chagrin of the CIA . At the final moment the President delivers a speech to the governments of the world. While this moment of truth drags on he says: "Nothing could have ever prepared me for this day. Mankind will survive. Mankind MUST survive!" A CIA computer expert watching at home replies: "I just hope he's right." Coming this fall.
