The Plot... A cargo barge loaded with government secrets has been pilfered by computer genius (Ed Harris). With the aid of a government weapons hacker, NASA hopes to intercept the stolen technologies and get them back to their rightful owner. The CIA, with the aid of Jackson Goodpress (Nicholas Cage), must mountain bike through the San Fransisco to return the borrowed nuclear warheads promptly to the Icelandic people. As if it wasn't hard enough, he has a smidge less than 12 hours to do it. With the assistance of a grizzled veteran (Jon Voight), our hero must mountain bike through the jungle to deliver the pilfered nuclear warheads promptly to the Japanese military. The situation turns sour as he realises that his sister in-law (Catherine Zeta-Jones) has been working for the the villain. Added to the mix you see the zany slapstick of a sass-talking soul brother (Chris Tucker) who when held prisoner by the evildoers says: "All I know is when I get out of this here cell I'm gonna kick whitey's ass!" However this won't be easy seeing that an old rival with a score to settle (Al Pacino) has secrets pertaining to his sordid criminal record. Just as our hero are departing on their perlious mission, they slowly all burst into a sing-along of Magic Carpet Ride much to the chagrin of the ATF . In a stunning climax the President delivers a speech to the peoples of the world. While this moment of truth drags on he says: "Nothing could have ever prepared me for this day. This is the dawn of a new tomorrow." A PETA chemical hacker watching a TV in a store window retorts: "I pray to God he's right."
