The Plot... A plane full of government secrets has been hijacked by a good guy gone bad (John Lithgow). With the aid of a private explosives specialist, the NCAA hopes to reclaim the hijacked goods and return them to their owner. The ATF, with the help of Stanley Botchwinch (Steve Buschemi), must race through the Sahara Desert to deliver the hijacked nuclear warheads in a timely manner to the Argentinian military. And if this wasn't enough, he has only 12 days to do it. With the help of a grizzled marine (Jon Voight), our hero must race through the New Jersy Turnpike to return the pilfered government secrets safely to the Argentinian military. The situation worsens as he figures out that his brother's girlfriend (Angelina Jolie) has been working with the the villain. Added to the mix you see the loveable slapstick of a jive talkin' black man (Dave Chapelle) who when held prisoner by the the villain says: "Y'all be trippin' or somethin', shit." It won't be easy seeing that an old rival with a score to settle (Robert DiNero) has secrets regarding his sloppy criminal record. Just as the good guys are setting out on their perlious mission, they suddenly join in on a sing-along of Magic Carpet Ride much to the chagrin of the PMRC . In the eleventh hour the President recites a decree to the governments of the world. As this dramatic grandstanding happens he says: "Here we stand, at the dawn of a new tomorrow. Drop the bombs, Commander." An NCRP explosives expert watching at home retorts: "I pray to God he's right."
