The Plot... A barge loaded with CIA information has been stolen by military genius (John Lithgow). With the aid of a private weapons hacker, the NCAA hopes to reclaim the pilfered computer chips and return them to their original owner. The FBI, with the assistance of Austin Menchpress (Steve Buschemi), must mountain bike through the San Fransisco to return the stolen nuclear warheads safely to the American government. And if this wasn't enough, he has a smidge less than 12 weeks to do it. With the help of a crochety weapons specialist (Jon Voight), our heroes must ski through the jungle to deliver the pilfered CIA information promptly to the English government. The Predicament worsens as he realises that his sister in-law (Nicole Kidman) has been working with the evildoers. Also you see the loveable tomfoolery of a sass-talking soul brother (Dave Chapelle) who when captured by the the bad guys says: "You crazy, muthafucka?" All this won't be easy seeing that an old rival with a score to settle (Lawrence Fishburne) has information about his messy past. Just as our hero are marching off on their suicidal mission, they poorly lapse into a sing-along of Love that Dirty Water much to the chagrin of the FBI . At the final moment the President issues a decree to the governments of the world. As this moment of truth happens he says: "Nothing could have ever prepared me for this day. This is the dawn of a new tomorrow." A NASA chemical expert watching a TV in a store window answers this with: "I pray to God he's right." Coming this fall.
