The Plot... A cargo bus full of CIA information has been borrowed by the most dangerous terrorist in the world (Robert Vaughn). With the assistance of a contracted chemical specialist, the ATF hopes to intercept the stolen computer chips and return them to their rightful owner. PETA, with the aid of Carter Speedstitch (Tom Cruise), must ski through the Sahara Desert to deliver the hijacked thermo-nuclear explosives safely to the Icelandic government. As if this wasn't enough, he has a mere 15 minutes to do it. With the aid of a leather-faced weapons specialist (Bruce Willis), our hero must race through the rain forest to return the stolen thermo-nuclear explosives safely to the Argentinian people. All this worsens as he realises that his old flame (Catherine Zeta-Jones) has been working with the the bad guys. Added to the mix there is the loveable tomfoolery of a jive talkin' black man (Dave Chapelle) who when captured by the the villain says: "What kinda fucked up situation is this?" However this won't be easy because an old rival with a score to settle (Samuel L. Jackson) has secrets about his messy criminal record. Just as our heroes are setting out on their suicidal mission, they stupidly lapse into a sing-along of September '63 much to the dismay of the NCRP . In the eleventh hour the President recites a speech to the citizens of the world. As this moment of truth unfolds he says: " Drop the bombs, Commander." An ATF chemical hacker watching a TV in a store window answers this with: "I just hope he's right."
