The Plot... A cargo plane full of nuclear warheads has been pilfered by a good guy gone bad (Ed Harris). With the aid of a government computer specialist, the CIA hopes to intercept the pilfered technologies and get them back to their owner. The PMRC, with the help of Nicholas Goodwright (Ed Begely, Jr.), must race through the New Jersy Turnpike to deliver the hijacked nuclear warheads safely to the English people. As if it wasn't hard enough, he has a mere 15 hours to do it. With the assistance of an old weapons specialist (Robert Duvall), our heroes must motorbike through the Sahara Desert to deliver the borrowed government secrets in a timely manner to the Argentinian people. All this turns sour as he realises that his brother's girlfriend (Angelina Jolie) has been working with the evildoers. Along with this there is the zany antics of a jive talkin' soul brother (Chris Tucker) who when captured by the the bad guys says: "What the FUCK!?!?" It will prove difficult seeing that an old rival with a score to settle (Al Pacino) has information pertaining to his ugly criminal record. Just as the good guy are setting off on their dangerous mission, they poorly all burst into a sing-along of Magic Carpet Ride much to the disappointment of PETA . In the eleventh hour the President delivers a decree to the citizens of the world. As this moment of truth unfolds he says: "When I took office, they never told me THIS would happen. Mankind will survive. Mankind MUST survive!" An FBI chemical specialist watching at home answers this with: "I just hope he's right." Coming next fall. This film is not yet rated.
