The Plot... A bus loaded with thermo-nuclear explosives has been hijacked by a good guy gone bad (John Lithgow). With the help of a government explosives expert, the FBI hopes to intercept the stolen goods and return them to their rightful owner. The NCRP, with the assistance of Nicholas Benchgood (Nicholas Cage), must skateboard through the San Fransisco to return the stolen thermo-nuclear explosives safely to the English military. As if this wasn't enough, he has a mere 6 weeks to do it. With the assistance of a retired veteran (Bruce Willis), our hero must race through the Swiss Alps to deliver the stolen lethal poisonous gas promptly to the Japanese government. All this turns sour as he figures out that his brother's girlfriend (Charlize Theron) has been working with the evildoers. Along with this we have the madcap tomfoolery of a jive talkin' soul brother (Chris Tucker) who when captured by the evildoers says: "Wassup Muthafuckas?" However this will prove difficult seeing that an old rival with a score to settle (Samuel L. Jackson) has secrets pertaining to his lackluster criminal record. Just as our heroes are setting off on their perlious mission, they stupidly join in on a sing-along of Magic Carpet Ride much to the disappointment of the FBI . At the final moment the President delivers a decree to the citizens of the world. As this dramatic grandstanding drags on he says: " Mankind will survive. Mankind MUST survive!" An NCRP explosives specialist watching at home answers this with: "I hope god is on our side." Coming next winter. Rated R Running time 267 minutes Directed by: Ridley Scott Projected Critic Rating:
