The Plot... A bus full of government secrets has been stolen by computer genius (John Lithgow). With the assistance of a contracted chemical expert, the CIA hopes to intercept the stolen items and return them to their original owner. The FBI, with the aid of Bufford Goodspeed (Tom Cruise), must motorbike through the New Jersy Turnpike to return the hijacked nuclear warheads in a timely manner to the Argentinian government. And if this wasn't enough, he has only 5 days to do it. With the help of a retired veteran (Robert Duvall), our heroes must race through the jungle to return the pilfered CIA information in a timely manner to the Argentinian people. The situation worsens as he figures out that his sister in-law (Charlize Theron) has been working with the the bad guys. Added to the mix you see the loveable slapstick of a sass-talking black man (Dave Chapelle) who when captured by the the bad guys says: "What kinda FUCKED up place is this?!?!" However this won't be easy because a nosy reporter (Robert DiNero) has secrets about his lackluster past. Just as the good guys are setting out on their suicidal journey, they poorly join in on a sing-along of Hotel California much to the chagrin of the PMRC . In a stunning climax the President recites a speech to the citizens of the world. While this moment of truth unfolds he says: " Mankind will survive. Mankind MUST survive!" A NASA explosives expert watching at home retorts: "He better be right... for our sake." Coming next fall. This film is not yet rated.
