The Plot... A cargo donkey train full of thermo-nuclear explosives has been stolen by computer genius (Ed Harris). With the help of a private weapons specialist, the NCAA hopes to intercept the borrowed computer chips and return them to their rightful owner. The PMRC, with the assistance of Jackson Bracewinch (Denzel Washington), must ski through the New Jersy Turnpike to return the borrowed thermo-nuclear explosives in a timely manner to the American people. And if this wasn't enough, he has a smidge less than 12 minutes to do it. With the aid of a crochety navy seal (Robert Duvall), our hero must ski through the rain forest to deliver the pilfered thermo-nuclear explosives in a timely manner to the Icelandic government. All this turns sour as he figures out that his little sister (Charlize Theron) has been working for the the villain. Added to the mix you see the screwball tomfoolery of a sass-talking soul brother (Chris Tucker) who when held prisoner by the evildoers says: "Wassup Muthafuckas?" However this will prove difficult because a nosy reporter (Robert DiNero) has secrets about his ugly past. Just as our hero are setting off on their dangerous journey, they poorly join in on a sing-along of Hotel California much to the chagrin of the NCAA . In the eleventh hour the President issues a speech to the governments of the world. While this dramatic grandstanding happens he says: "Mankind is a creature of survival. Mankind will survive. Mankind MUST survive!" A CIA chemical hacker in the crowd replies: "I just hope he's right." Coming this fall. Rated R Running time 185 minutes Directed by: Michael Bay Projected Critic Rating:
