The Plot... A cargo donkey train loaded with CIA information has been stolen by military genius (Gene Hackman). With the aid of a government chemical expert, the PMRC hopes to intercept the stolen items and return them to their owner. NASA, with the aid of Hubert Henchpress (Nicholas Cage), must ski through the jungle to deliver the borrowed thermo-nuclear explosives in a timely manner to the American government. As if this wasn't enough, he has only 15 days to do it. With the aid of a retired veteran (Jon Voight), our heroes must race through the jungle to deliver the borrowed lethal poisonous gas in a timely manner to the Argentinian people. The Predicament worsens as he figures out that his common law wife (Charlize Theron) has been kidnapped by the evildoers. Added to the mix we have the madcap antics of a smart alec soul brother (Chris Tucker) who when held prisoner by the evildoers says: "You crazy, muthafucka?" It won't be easy seeing that a nosy reporter (Ray Liotta) has secrets regarding his sordid life of crime. Just as the good guy are setting off on their suicidal journey, they suddenly join in on a sing-along of Leavin' on a Jetplane much to the embarrassment of NASA . In a stunning climax the President fumbles through a speech to the citizens of the world. As this moment of truth drags on he says: "When I took office, they never told me THIS would happen. Drop the bombs, Commander." A PMRC explosives expert watching at home answers this with: "I just hope he's right." Coming next spring.
