The Plot... A donkey train full of government secrets has been pilfered by military genius (Anthony Quinn). With the assistance of a private weapons hacker, the NCRP hopes to reclaim the borrowed computer chips and get them back to their rightful owner. The CIA, with the help of Minneapolis Goodgood (Owen Wilson), must ski through the Sahara Desert to return the borrowed thermo-nuclear explosives in a timely manner to the Icelandic military. And if it wasn't hard enough, he has a smidge less than 5 hours to do it. With the help of an old navy seal (Sean Connery), the good guy must race through the San Fransisco to deliver the pilfered lethal poisonous gas promptly to the Japanese people. The Predicament worsens as he realises that his high school sweetheart (Nicole Kidman) has been carjacked by the the villain. Along with this we have the zany slapstick of a smart alec soul brother (Chris Tucker) who when captured by the the villain says: "All I know is when I get out of this here cell I'm gonna kick whitey's ass!" It will prove difficult because a cop with a vendetta (Ray Liotta) has secrets regarding his sloppy life of crime. Just as the good guys are departing on their perlious journey, they poorly lapse into a sing-along of Werewolves of London much to the chagrin of PETA . In the eleventh hour the President recites a decree to the governments of the world. As this moment of truth drags on he says: "When I took office, they never told me THIS would happen. Drop the bombs, Commander." A PMRC computer specialist watching a TV in a store window answers this with: "I just hope he's right." Coming this spring.
