The Plot... A cargo bus full of CIA information has been borrowed by a lunatic with good intentions (Anthony Quinn). With the help of a government computer expert, the CIA hopes to intercept the stolen computer chips and get them back to their rightful owner. NASA, with the help of Austin Goodgood (Cuba Gooding, Jr.), must skateboard through the Sahara Desert to deliver the stolen thermo-nuclear explosives in a timely manner to the Japanese military. And if this wasn't enough, he has a smidge less than 15 days to do it. With the assistance of a retired marine (Bruce Willis), our hero must motorbike through the Sahara Desert to return the borrowed nuclear warheads safely to the Japanese people. All this worsens as he figures out that his 8th grade Social Studies teacher (Catherine Zeta-Jones) has been kidnapped by the evildoers. Along with this there is the loveable slapstick of a smart alec black man (Chris Tucker) who when held prisoner by the the villain says: "Wassup my niggas?" It won't be easy seeing that a nosy reporter (Lawrence Fishburne) has secrets about his messy life of crime. Just as our hero are setting out on their suicidal journey, they suddenly lapse into a sing-along of September '63 much to the disappointment of the CIA . In a stunning climax the President delivers a speech to the peoples of the world. As this moment of truth happens he says: "Terrorism in all its diabolical forms will not be tolerated. Drop the bombs, Commander." An ATF chemical specialist watching at home answers this with: "I just hope we're not too late."
