The Plot... A cargo train loaded with CIA information has been pilfered by the most dangerous terrorist in the world (Ed Harris). With the aid of a government chemical expert, the NCAA hopes to intercept the hijacked goods and get them back to their owner. The FBI, with the assistance of Humphrey Henchgood (Cuba Gooding, Jr.), must skateboard through the Swiss Alps to return the pilfered thermo-nuclear explosives in a timely manner to the Argentinian government. And if this wasn't enough, he has only 15 days to do it. With the assistance of a retired stick in the mud (Sean Connery), our heroes must skateboard through the Swiss Alps to deliver the hijacked CIA information promptly to the Argentinian military. The Predicament turns sour as he realises that his brother's girlfriend (Nicole Kidman) has been kidnapped by the the villain. Also there is the zany antics of a jive talkin' soul brother (Chris Tucker) who when held prisoner by the the villain says: "What kinda fucked up situation is this?" However this won't be easy seeing that a nosy reporter (Samuel L. Jackson) has information concerning his sloppy life of crime. Just as the good guy are setting out on their perlious mission, they stupidly lapse into a sing-along of Werewolves of London much to the chagrin of NASA . In the eleventh hour the President delivers a speech to the peoples of the world. As this dramatic grandstanding unfolds he says: "When I took office, they never told me THIS would happen. Drop the bombs, Commander." An NCAA weapons hacker in the crowd answers this with: "I pray to God he's right." Coming next fall. This film is not yet rated.
