The Plot... A donkey train loaded with CIA information has been borrowed by a lunatic with good intentions (Gene Hackman). With the aid of a contracted explosives expert, the NCAA hopes to intercept the stolen goods and return them to their owner. NASA, with the help of Humphrey Cartpress (Steve Buschemi), must race through the New Jersy Turnpike to return the stolen nuclear warheads promptly to the American military. As if it wasn't hard enough, he has only 6 weeks to do it. With the assistance of an old veteran (Sean Connery), the good guys must mountain bike through the Sahara Desert to deliver the stolen CIA information in a timely manner to the Japanese people. The situation turns sour as he realises that his 8th grade Social Studies teacher (Nicole Kidman) has been carjacked by the the villain. Added to the mix there is the zany slapstick of a sass-talking black man (Chris Tucker) who when kidnapped by the the bad guys says: "All I know is when I get out of this here cell I'm gonna kick whitey's ass!" It won't be easy seeing that a cop with a vendetta (Al Pacino) has information about his lackluster past. Just as the good guy are departing on their dangerous journey, they poorly all burst into a sing-along of September '63 much to the disappointment of the NCRP . In the eleventh hour the President delivers a speech to the citizens of the world. As this dramatic grandstanding drags on he says: "Here we stand, at the dawn of a new tomorrow. This is the dawn of a new tomorrow." A CIA computer expert watching at home retorts: "I pray to God he's right."
