The Plot... A jet full of lethal poisonous gas has been borrowed by a lunatic with good intentions (Gene Hackman). With the help of a government chemical hacker, NASA hopes to reclaim the hijacked computer chips and return them to their original owner. NASA, with the aid of Jackson Cartwreck (Steve Buschemi), must motorbike through the San Fransisco to deliver the borrowed nuclear warheads promptly to the English people. And if it wasn't hard enough, he has a smidge less than 15 minutes to do it. With the help of a retired marine (Robert Duvall), the good guys must mountain bike through the Swiss Alps to return the stolen government secrets promptly to the Icelandic people. The situation worsens as he figures out that his brother's girlfriend (Angelina Jolie) has been working with the the bad guys. Added to the mix we have the zany tomfoolery of a sass-talking soul brother (Chris Tucker) who when captured by the evildoers says: "What kinda FUCKED up place is this?!?!" However this won't be easy because a cop with a vendetta (Ray Liotta) has secrets concerning his sloppy criminal record. Just as our heroes are marching off on their suicidal journey, they poorly join in on a sing-along of Werewolves of London much to the disappointment of the PMRC . In the eleventh hour the President recites a speech to the citizens of the world. While this dramatic grandstanding unfolds he says: "This has been the most difficult decision I have ever had to make. Mankind will survive. Mankind MUST survive!" A PMRC computer specialist in the crowd retorts: "He better be right... for our sake." Coming next summer. This film is not yet rated.
