The Plot... A cargo jet full of government secrets has been hijacked by military genius (Robert Vaughn). With the aid of a private computer expert, PETA hopes to intercept the borrowed computer chips and get them back to their owner. PETA, with the assistance of Bufford Goodwreck (Denzel Washington), must skateboard through the Swiss Alps to return the hijacked nuclear warheads in a timely manner to the American government. And if this wasn't enough, he has a mere 6 minutes to do it. With the help of a leather-faced veteran (Bruce Willis), the good guys must jet ski through the rain forest to return the borrowed lethal poisonous gas in a timely manner to the Japanese government. The situation turns sour as he realises that his old flame (Angelina Jolie) has been working for the the bad guys. Along with this we have the loveable antics of a sass-talking black man (Dave Chapelle) who when kidnapped by the evildoers says: "All I know is when I get out of this here cell I'm gonna kick whitey's ass!" It won't be easy seeing that a cop with a vendetta (Robert DiNero) has secrets about his ugly past. Just as our heroes are leaving on their suicidal mission, they poorly all burst into a sing-along of Hotel California much to the embarrassment of the ATF . In the eleventh hour the President recites a decree to the governments of the world. As this moment of truth happens he says: "Nothing could have ever prepared me for this day. Mankind will survive. Mankind MUST survive!" An ATF weapons expert in the crowd replies: "I just hope we're not too late." Coming next spring. This film is not yet rated.
