The Plot... A train full of nuclear warheads has been hijacked by a good guy gone bad (Gene Hackman). With the aid of a private weapons specialist, the CIA hopes to reclaim the hijacked items and return them to their original owner. NASA, with the assistance of Stanley Wrightwinch (Will Smith), must ski through the Swiss Alps to return the borrowed thermo-nuclear explosives in a timely manner to the Argentinian people. As if this wasn't enough, he has a smidge less than 12 days to do it. With the assistance of a crochety veteran (Jon Voight), the good guy must jet ski through the Sahara Desert to deliver the hijacked lethal poisonous gas promptly to the American military. All this worsens as he figures out that his common law wife (Nicole Kidman) has been working with the the bad guys. Along with this you see the zany tomfoolery of a smart alec soul brother (Dave Chapelle) who when captured by the evildoers says: "What the FUCK!?!?" However this won't be easy seeing that an old rival with a score to settle (Al Pacino) has information regarding his lackluster life of crime. Just as our hero are departing on their suicidal mission, they suddenly lapse into a sing-along of Leavin' on a Jetplane much to the embarrassment of PETA . In the eleventh hour the President issues a speech to the governments of the world. While this moment of truth unfolds he says: "This has been the most difficult decision I have ever had to make. Mankind will survive. Mankind MUST survive!" A PMRC chemical hacker watching a TV in a store window retorts: "I hope god is on our side."
