The Plot... A jet loaded with thermo-nuclear explosives has been pilfered by computer genius (Robert Vaughn). With the help of a private chemical specialist, the NCAA hopes to intercept the hijacked goods and get them back to their native land. The NCAA, with the aid of Jackson Goodgood (Nicholas Cage), must ski through the Swiss Alps to deliver the stolen thermo-nuclear explosives in a timely manner to the English military. And if it wasn't hard enough, he has less than 6 days to do it. With the aid of an old marine (Jon Voight), our hero must jet ski through the San Fransisco to return the stolen nuclear warheads safely to the American people. The situation turns sour as he realises that his wife (Charlize Theron) has been kidnapped by the evildoers. Added to the mix we have the screwball slapstick of a smart alec black man (Chris Tucker) who when kidnapped by the the villain says: "What kinda fucked up situation is this?" All this will prove difficult seeing that a cop with a vendetta (Ray Liotta) has information concerning his messy criminal record. Just as our hero are leaving on their suicidal mission, they slowly join in on a sing-along of Werewolves of London much to the disappointment of the CIA . At the final moment the President delivers a decree to the governments of the world. As this dramatic grandstanding drags on he says: " This is the dawn of a new tomorrow." A PMRC chemical expert watching at home answers this with: "I just hope we're not too late." Coming next fall. Rated R Running time 106 minutes Directed by: Simon West Projected Critic Rating:
