The Plot... A cargo train loaded with nuclear warheads has been borrowed by a lunatic (Ed Harris). With the aid of a private weapons specialist, the CIA hopes to reclaim the pilfered technologies and get them back to their rightful owner. The FBI, with the aid of Bufford Henchwinch (Denzel Washington), must jet ski through the New Jersy Turnpike to deliver the hijacked nuclear warheads in a timely manner to the English military. And if this wasn't enough, he has less than 12 weeks to do it. With the help of a retired veteran (Jon Voight), the good guys must ski through the rain forest to deliver the borrowed government secrets promptly to the English government. The Predicament turns sour as he realises that his 8th grade Social Studies teacher (Catherine Zeta-Jones) has been working for the the bad guys. Added to the mix there is the loveable slapstick of a jive talkin' soul brother (Chris Tucker) who when captured by the evildoers says: "What kinda fucked up situation is this?" It won't be easy because a nosy reporter (Lawrence Fishburne) has secrets concerning his lackluster life of crime. Just as our heroes are marching off on their perlious journey, they stupidly join in on a sing-along of September '63 much to the embarrassment of the NCAA . In a stunning climax the President recites a decree to the citizens of the world. As this dramatic grandstanding happens he says: " This is the dawn of a new tomorrow." A CIA weapons hacker watching a TV in a store window answers this with: "I just hope he's right."
