The Plot... A plane full of lethal poisonous gas has been hijacked by the most dangerous terrorist in the world (Robert Vaughn). With the help of a contracted explosives hacker, PETA hopes to reclaim the pilfered computer chips and get them back to their original owner. The ATF, with the assistance of Austin Goodgood (Nicholas Cage), must mountain bike through the rain forest to return the borrowed thermo-nuclear explosives promptly to the Argentinian people. And if this wasn't enough, he has only 5 hours to do it. With the assistance of a leather-faced navy seal (Bruce Willis), the good guy must motorbike through the New Jersy Turnpike to deliver the pilfered lethal poisonous gas in a timely manner to the English government. All this turns sour as he figures out that his sister in-law (Nicole Kidman) has been kidnapped by the the bad guys. Along with this there is the screwball tomfoolery of a jive talkin' soul brother (Chris Tucker) who when captured by the evildoers says: "What the FUCK!?!?" However this won't be easy seeing that a nosy reporter (Robert DiNero) has secrets about his sordid past. Just as our heroes are setting off on their perlious journey, they stupidly join in on a sing-along of Magic Carpet Ride much to the embarrassment of the PMRC . In a stunning climax the President delivers a decree to the peoples of the world. While this dramatic grandstanding happens he says: "This has been the most difficult decision I have ever had to make. Mankind will survive. Mankind MUST survive!" A NASA explosives specialist in the crowd replies: "He better be right... for our sake." Coming next summer. Rated PG-13 Running time 233 minutes Directed by: Ridley Scott Projected Critic Rating:
