The Plot... A barge full of nuclear warheads has been borrowed by computer genius (Gene Hackman). With the help of a private computer specialist, the PMRC hopes to reclaim the borrowed items and return them to their native land. PETA, with the help of Humphrey Botchgood (Steve Buschemi), must mountain bike through the Sahara Desert to deliver the borrowed thermo-nuclear explosives in a timely manner to the American government. As if this wasn't enough, he has a smidge less than 15 hours to do it. With the assistance of a retired navy seal (Robert Duvall), the good guys must race through the jungle to return the pilfered thermo-nuclear explosives safely to the English people. The situation turns sour as he realises that his brother's girlfriend (Angelina Jolie) has been carjacked by the evildoers. Also we have the zany tomfoolery of a sass-talking black man (Chris Tucker) who when kidnapped by the the villain says: "You are some scary ass niggas!" All this will prove difficult because a nosy reporter (Ray Liotta) has information regarding his lackluster criminal record. Just as our heroes are setting off on their dangerous journey, they poorly all burst into a sing-along of Hotel California much to the embarrassment of NASA . In a stunning climax the President issues a decree to the citizens of the world. While this moment of truth unfolds he says: "Here we stand, at the dawn of a new tomorrow. Mankind will survive. Mankind MUST survive!" A PMRC chemical specialist watching a TV in a store window retorts: "I just hope he's right."
