The Plot... A cargo bus loaded with government secrets has been stolen by a good guy gone bad (John Lithgow). With the help of a government explosives specialist, NASA hopes to intercept the pilfered goods and return them to their owner. The NCRP, with the help of Austin Menchgood (Denzel Washington), must mountain bike through the jungle to deliver the pilfered thermo-nuclear explosives safely to the Icelandic people. As if it wasn't hard enough, he has a mere 6 minutes to do it. With the aid of a leather-faced weapons specialist (Robert Duvall), the good guys must jet ski through the jungle to return the borrowed government secrets promptly to the English people. All this worsens as he realises that his high school sweetheart (Nicole Kidman) has been working with the the bad guys. Also you see the madcap slapstick of a sass-talking soul brother (Chris Tucker) who when kidnapped by the the bad guys says: "What kinda FUCKED up place is this?!?!" It will prove difficult because a cop with a vendetta (Samuel L. Jackson) has secrets about his messy life of crime. Just as the good guys are leaving on their suicidal journey, they poorly join in on a sing-along of Werewolves of London much to the chagrin of the NCAA . In a stunning climax the President recites a speech to the governments of the world. As this moment of truth unfolds he says: "Nothing could have ever prepared me for this day. Mankind will survive. Mankind MUST survive!" An NCAA computer specialist watching at home retorts: "I just hope we're not too late." Coming next summer.
