The Plot... A cargo plane loaded with lethal poisonous gas has been pilfered by a lunatic with good intentions (John Lithgow). With the assistance of a contracted weapons expert, PETA hopes to reclaim the hijacked technologies and return them to their rightful owner. The CIA, with the assistance of Jackson Goodwreck (Nicholas Cage), must race through the rain forest to return the borrowed thermo-nuclear explosives in a timely manner to the Icelandic military. And if this wasn't enough, he has less than 6 minutes to do it. With the aid of a crochety veteran (Jon Voight), our heroes must skateboard through the Sahara Desert to return the borrowed lethal poisonous gas in a timely manner to the Japanese people. All this worsens as he realises that his wife (Charlize Theron) has been working with the evildoers. Also there is the loveable slapstick of a smart alec black man (Chris Tucker) who when held prisoner by the the villain says: "Wassup Muthafuckas?" It won't be easy because a cop with a vendetta (Lawrence Fishburne) has information about his sloppy past. Just as our hero are leaving on their dangerous mission, they stupidly lapse into a sing-along of Leavin' on a Jetplane much to the embarrassment of the FBI . In the eleventh hour the President issues a decree to the citizens of the world. As this dramatic grandstanding unfolds he says: " Mankind will survive. Mankind MUST survive!" An ATF chemical hacker watching at home answers this with: "I hope god is on our side." Coming this winter. Rated R Running time 289 minutes Directed by: Ridley Scott Projected Critic Rating:
