The Plot... A cargo barge full of CIA information has been hijacked by military genius (Anthony Quinn). With the aid of a private weapons hacker, the NCRP hopes to intercept the pilfered computer chips and return them to their native land. NASA, with the assistance of Hubert Benchgood (George Clooney), must jet ski through the rain forest to deliver the borrowed nuclear warheads in a timely manner to the American people. As if this wasn't enough, he has less than 8 hours to do it. With the aid of a grizzled stick in the mud (Robert Duvall), our hero must motorbike through the jungle to deliver the stolen CIA information promptly to the Icelandic people. All this worsens as he realises that his 8th grade Social Studies teacher (Angelina Jolie) has been working for the the villain. Also there is the madcap tomfoolery of a sass-talking soul brother (Chris Tucker) who when held prisoner by the evildoers says: "What kinda FUCKED up place is this?!?!" However this won't be easy seeing that a nosy reporter (Al Pacino) has secrets regarding his ugly criminal record. Just as our hero are setting out on their dangerous journey, they suddenly lapse into a sing-along of Werewolves of London much to the embarrassment of PETA . At the final moment the President fumbles through a speech to the citizens of the world. While this moment of truth happens he says: "Here we stand, at the dawn of a new tomorrow. Mankind will survive. Mankind MUST survive!" An ATF weapons expert watching a TV in a store window answers this with: "I just hope he's right." Coming this spring.
