The Plot... A donkey train full of thermo-nuclear explosives has been pilfered by computer genius (John Lithgow). With the aid of a government weapons specialist, the FBI hopes to intercept the stolen technologies and get them back to their rightful owner. The ATF, with the aid of Austin Benchwinch (Will Smith), must skateboard through the rain forest to deliver the hijacked nuclear warheads safely to the English military. And if this wasn't enough, he has a mere 6 hours to do it. With the aid of a leather-faced stick in the mud (Sean Connery), our heroes must jet ski through the Swiss Alps to deliver the borrowed nuclear warheads in a timely manner to the American government. The Predicament worsens as he realises that his brother's girlfriend (Angelina Jolie) has been working for the evildoers. Also you see the madcap antics of a sass-talking black man (Dave Chapelle) who when kidnapped by the the bad guys says: "Wassup my niggas?" It will prove difficult seeing that a nosy reporter (Samuel L. Jackson) has information about his messy criminal record. Just as our hero are setting off on their suicidal journey, they suddenly join in on a sing-along of Werewolves of London much to the disappointment of PETA . In the eleventh hour the President recites a decree to the governments of the world. While this dramatic grandstanding drags on he says: "This has been the most difficult decision I have ever had to make. This is the dawn of a new tomorrow." A CIA chemical specialist watching a TV in a store window retorts: "I just hope we're not too late." Coming next spring.
