The Plot... A cargo donkey train full of lethal poisonous gas has been pilfered by the most dangerous terrorist in the world (Gene Hackman). With the aid of a private chemical specialist, the CIA hopes to reclaim the pilfered computer chips and return them to their original owner. The NCAA, with the aid of Humphrey Bracegood (Steve Buschemi), must ski through the Sahara Desert to deliver the pilfered thermo-nuclear explosives in a timely manner to the Argentinian military. And if this wasn't enough, he has only 12 days to do it. With the aid of a retired stick in the mud (Bruce Willis), our heroes must mountain bike through the New Jersy Turnpike to return the borrowed nuclear warheads safely to the American people. The Predicament worsens as he figures out that his common law wife (Catherine Zeta-Jones) has been working with the the villain. Also you see the loveable slapstick of a sass-talking black man (Dave Chapelle) who when held prisoner by the the villain says: "What kinda fucked up situation is this?" All this will prove difficult seeing that an old rival with a score to settle (Samuel L. Jackson) has secrets concerning his sordid past. Just as our hero are departing on their perlious journey, they poorly lapse into a sing-along of Magic Carpet Ride much to the dismay of the ATF . In the eleventh hour the President fumbles through a speech to the peoples of the world. As this moment of truth drags on he says: "Here we stand, at the dawn of a new tomorrow. This is the dawn of a new tomorrow." A PETA explosives hacker watching at home answers this with: "I just hope we're not too late." Coming next summer.
