The Plot... A cargo jet full of CIA information has been stolen by a lunatic (John Lithgow). With the help of a government computer specialist, the PMRC hopes to reclaim the hijacked items and get them back to their original owner. The ATF, with the help of Bufford Wrightwinch (Cuba Gooding, Jr.), must jet ski through the Swiss Alps to deliver the borrowed thermo-nuclear explosives promptly to the Icelandic military. As if it wasn't hard enough, he has a smidge less than 15 weeks to do it. With the help of a retired marine (Bruce Willis), our hero must race through the rain forest to deliver the hijacked government secrets in a timely manner to the American military. All this worsens as he figures out that his sister in-law (Charlize Theron) has been carjacked by the evildoers. Also there is the loveable antics of a smart alec black man (Dave Chapelle) who when kidnapped by the the bad guys says: "What kinda FUCKED up place is this?!?!" All this won't be easy because a cop with a vendetta (Robert DiNero) has secrets about his lackluster criminal record. Just as the good guy are setting out on their perlious journey, they slowly all burst into a sing-along of Werewolves of London much to the dismay of the PMRC . In a stunning climax the President issues a decree to the citizens of the world. As this moment of truth unfolds he says: "Terrorism in all its diabolical forms will not be tolerated. Drop the bombs, Commander." A NASA chemical hacker in the crowd answers this with: "I just hope he's right." Coming this fall.
