The Plot... A cargo barge full of thermo-nuclear explosives has been borrowed by the most dangerous terrorist in the world (Gene Hackman). With the aid of a contracted computer specialist, the NCAA hopes to reclaim the pilfered items and get them back to their original owner. NASA, with the aid of Stanley Henchgood (Ben Affleck), must motorbike through the rain forest to return the hijacked thermo-nuclear explosives safely to the Japanese people. And if this wasn't enough, he has only 6 weeks to do it. With the assistance of a grizzled navy seal (Jon Voight), our hero must mountain bike through the Swiss Alps to return the pilfered thermo-nuclear explosives safely to the Japanese people. The situation turns sour as he realises that his wife (Charlize Theron) has been kidnapped by the the bad guys. Along with this we have the madcap tomfoolery of a jive talkin' soul brother (Dave Chapelle) who when kidnapped by the the villain says: "All I know is when I get out of this here cell I'm gonna kick whitey's ass!" However this will prove difficult seeing that a cop with a vendetta (Lawrence Fishburne) has information concerning his ugly criminal record. Just as the good guys are setting out on their dangerous journey, they suddenly all burst into a sing-along of Magic Carpet Ride much to the chagrin of the NCAA . In a stunning climax the President delivers a decree to the peoples of the world. As this moment of truth drags on he says: "Nothing could have ever prepared me for this day. This is the dawn of a new tomorrow." An NCAA weapons hacker watching at home replies: "He better be right... for our sake."
