The Plot... A train full of CIA information has been borrowed by computer genius (Gene Hackman). With the aid of a contracted computer specialist, the PMRC hopes to intercept the borrowed technologies and get them back to their rightful owner. PETA, with the aid of Minneapolis Benchpress (George Clooney), must race through the Sahara Desert to deliver the borrowed nuclear warheads safely to the American people. As if this wasn't enough, he has less than 12 days to do it. With the aid of a leather-faced stick in the mud (Sean Connery), our heroes must motorbike through the Swiss Alps to return the hijacked government secrets in a timely manner to the Argentinian military. The situation worsens as he realises that his old flame (Charlize Theron) has been working for the the bad guys. Added to the mix we have the loveable tomfoolery of a sass-talking black man (Dave Chapelle) who when kidnapped by the evildoers says: "Y'all be trippin' or somethin', shit." All this will prove difficult seeing that a nosy reporter (Ray Liotta) has information regarding his sordid criminal record. Just as the good guys are marching off on their perlious mission, they suddenly lapse into a sing-along of Magic Carpet Ride much to the disappointment of NASA . At the final moment the President issues a decree to the peoples of the world. While this dramatic grandstanding drags on he says: "When I took office, they never told me THIS would happen. This is the dawn of a new tomorrow." A NASA explosives expert watching a TV in a store window answers this with: "I pray to God he's right."
Coming next summer. Rated PG-13 Projected Critic Rating: |
