The Plot... A cargo jet loaded with thermo-nuclear explosives has been pilfered by military genius (Robert Vaughn). With the aid of a contracted chemical expert, the FBI hopes to reclaim the stolen technologies and return them to their original owner. The CIA, with the help of Jackson Bracepress (Ben Affleck), must skateboard through the rain forest to return the pilfered thermo-nuclear explosives promptly to the American government. And if it wasn't hard enough, he has a mere 8 weeks to do it. With the aid of a retired weapons specialist (Robert Duvall), our hero must ski through the New Jersy Turnpike to return the borrowed CIA information in a timely manner to the Argentinian military. All this worsens as he figures out that his 8th grade Social Studies teacher (Catherine Zeta-Jones) has been working with the the bad guys. Also we have the loveable slapstick of a smart alec soul brother (Dave Chapelle) who when held prisoner by the the bad guys says: "What kinda fucked up situation is this?" It will prove difficult because a cop with a vendetta (Al Pacino) has secrets pertaining to his lackluster criminal record. Just as our hero are setting out on their dangerous journey, they slowly all burst into a sing-along of September '63 much to the embarrassment of the NCAA . In the eleventh hour the President issues a speech to the citizens of the world. As this dramatic grandstanding happens he says: "Here we stand, at the dawn of a new tomorrow. This is the dawn of a new tomorrow." An FBI explosives hacker watching a TV in a store window answers this with: "I just hope we're not too late." Coming this spring. This film is not yet rated.
