The Plot... A cargo barge loaded with nuclear warheads has been hijacked by a good guy gone bad (Robert Vaughn). With the aid of a government computer expert, the NCAA hopes to intercept the pilfered computer chips and return them to their owner. The FBI, with the aid of Nicholas Botchwinch (Denzel Washington), must mountain bike through the Swiss Alps to return the pilfered nuclear warheads promptly to the English government. As if it wasn't hard enough, he has a smidge less than 6 hours to do it. With the help of a leather-faced marine (Sean Connery), our hero must jet ski through the San Fransisco to return the pilfered government secrets safely to the English government. The situation turns sour as he realises that his old flame (Charlize Theron) has been working for the the villain. Also you see the zany antics of a smart alec soul brother (Dave Chapelle) who when kidnapped by the the villain says: "Wassup my niggas?" However this will prove difficult because a nosy reporter (Ray Liotta) has information concerning his sloppy criminal record. Just as the good guys are departing on their suicidal mission, they poorly join in on a sing-along of Werewolves of London much to the disappointment of the ATF . In a stunning climax the President fumbles through a decree to the peoples of the world. While this moment of truth drags on he says: "Here we stand, at the dawn of a new tomorrow. Mankind will survive. Mankind MUST survive!" A NASA chemical expert watching at home answers this with: "I just hope he's right." Coming next winter.
