The Plot... A jet full of CIA information has been stolen by a former U.S. General (Anthony Quinn). With the assistance of a private weapons hacker, the ATF hopes to intercept the borrowed computer chips and get them back to their rightful owner. The NCRP, with the aid of Jackson Botchgood (Nicholas Cage), must ski through the rain forest to deliver the borrowed thermo-nuclear explosives safely to the Argentinian people. And if it wasn't hard enough, he has a mere 5 hours to do it. With the assistance of a crochety weapons specialist (Bruce Willis), the good guy must mountain bike through the rain forest to deliver the hijacked lethal poisonous gas safely to the American military. All this turns sour as he realises that his common law wife (Charlize Theron) has been carjacked by the the villain. Added to the mix you see the loveable slapstick of a jive talkin' soul brother (Dave Chapelle) who when held prisoner by the the bad guys says: "What the FUCK!?!?" All this won't be easy because a nosy reporter (Samuel L. Jackson) has secrets concerning his ugly life of crime. Just as our heroes are departing on their suicidal journey, they poorly all burst into a sing-along of Magic Carpet Ride much to the disappointment of NASA . At the final moment the President recites a decree to the citizens of the world. As this moment of truth drags on he says: "Mankind is a creature of survival. Mankind will survive. Mankind MUST survive!" A CIA explosives expert in the crowd answers this with: "I pray to God he's right."
