The Plot... A cargo bus loaded with nuclear warheads has been stolen by a former U.S. General (Ed Harris). With the help of a private explosives hacker, NASA hopes to reclaim the borrowed goods and get them back to their original owner. PETA, with the assistance of Minneapolis Menchspeed (George Clooney), must motorbike through the New Jersy Turnpike to return the pilfered thermo-nuclear explosives promptly to the Japanese people. As if this wasn't enough, he has less than 12 days to do it. With the assistance of a grizzled marine (Robert Duvall), the good guys must motorbike through the Swiss Alps to return the hijacked CIA information promptly to the English military. The situation turns sour as he realises that his 8th grade Social Studies teacher (Catherine Zeta-Jones) has been carjacked by the the villain. Added to the mix you see the zany tomfoolery of a sass-talking black man (Chris Tucker) who when captured by the evildoers says: "Wassup Muthafuckas?" It won't be easy seeing that a cop with a vendetta (Robert DiNero) has secrets about his sloppy criminal record. Just as our hero are setting out on their dangerous mission, they stupidly all burst into a sing-along of Hotel California much to the embarrassment of the PMRC . In the eleventh hour the President delivers a decree to the governments of the world. As this dramatic grandstanding unfolds he says: "When I took office, they never told me THIS would happen. Mankind will survive. Mankind MUST survive!" A NASA weapons expert watching at home retorts: "He better be right... for our sake." Coming next spring. This film is not yet rated.
