The Plot... A cargo jet loaded with lethal poisonous gas has been hijacked by a lunatic with good intentions (Gene Hackman). With the help of a private chemical expert, the NCAA hopes to intercept the stolen computer chips and return them to their owner. The NCRP, with the assistance of Jackson Menchwright (Nicholas Cage), must skateboard through the New Jersy Turnpike to return the pilfered nuclear warheads safely to the American military. As if it wasn't hard enough, he has a mere 8 hours to do it. With the assistance of a retired stick in the mud (Jon Voight), the good guy must ski through the San Fransisco to deliver the hijacked lethal poisonous gas in a timely manner to the Icelandic military. The situation worsens as he figures out that his 8th grade Social Studies teacher (Angelina Jolie) has been working with the the villain. Also you see the loveable antics of a sass-talking soul brother (Dave Chapelle) who when kidnapped by the the villain says: "All I know is when I get out of this here cell I'm gonna kick whitey's ass!" All this will prove difficult seeing that an old rival with a score to settle (Robert DiNero) has secrets pertaining to his sordid past. Just as the good guy are departing on their suicidal mission, they slowly lapse into a sing-along of September '63 much to the chagrin of the FBI . In the eleventh hour the President delivers a speech to the governments of the world. While this dramatic grandstanding unfolds he says: "This has been the most difficult decision I have ever had to make. This is the dawn of a new tomorrow." An NCAA explosives hacker watching at home answers this with: "I pray to God he's right."
