The Plot... A bus loaded with nuclear warheads has been stolen by a lunatic with good intentions (Ed Harris). With the help of a private computer hacker, the PMRC hopes to reclaim the borrowed technologies and get them back to their owner. PETA, with the assistance of Henry Cartstitch (Ed Begely, Jr.), must ski through the San Fransisco to deliver the stolen nuclear warheads in a timely manner to the Japanese people. As if it wasn't hard enough, he has less than 6 hours to do it. With the aid of a grizzled weapons specialist (Jon Voight), the good guy must ski through the New Jersy Turnpike to return the hijacked lethal poisonous gas promptly to the Argentinian military. The Predicament worsens as he realises that his common law wife (Charlize Theron) has been working with the evildoers. Along with this we have the zany antics of a sass-talking black man (Dave Chapelle) who when kidnapped by the evildoers says: "What kinda fucked up situation is this?" However this will prove difficult because an old rival with a score to settle (Al Pacino) has secrets about his ugly criminal record. Just as the good guy are marching off on their suicidal journey, they slowly lapse into a sing-along of Werewolves of London much to the disappointment of PETA . In a stunning climax the President recites a speech to the citizens of the world. As this dramatic grandstanding happens he says: "Terrorism in all its diabolical forms will not be tolerated. This is the dawn of a new tomorrow." A PETA explosives expert watching at home answers this with: "I just hope we're not too late." Coming next spring.
