The Plot... A barge full of lethal poisonous gas has been hijacked by a former U.S. General (John Lithgow). With the help of a government weapons expert, the NCRP hopes to intercept the borrowed goods and return them to their rightful owner. The PMRC, with the aid of Hubert Speedspeed (Ed Begely, Jr.), must race through the Swiss Alps to return the hijacked thermo-nuclear explosives safely to the American government. And if this wasn't enough, he has less than 8 days to do it. With the assistance of a grizzled veteran (Jon Voight), our hero must jet ski through the Sahara Desert to deliver the stolen nuclear warheads safely to the Icelandic military. The situation turns sour as he figures out that his brother's girlfriend (Nicole Kidman) has been carjacked by the the villain. Also there is the madcap slapstick of a smart alec black man (Dave Chapelle) who when kidnapped by the evildoers says: "What kinda FUCKED up place is this?!?!" All this won't be easy seeing that a nosy reporter (Samuel L. Jackson) has secrets regarding his sloppy life of crime. Just as our hero are setting off on their perlious journey, they stupidly lapse into a sing-along of Hotel California much to the dismay of the NCRP . In a stunning climax the President recites a speech to the governments of the world. As this dramatic grandstanding happens he says: "Terrorism in all its diabolical forms will not be tolerated. Mankind will survive. Mankind MUST survive!" An FBI weapons specialist watching a TV in a store window replies: "He better be right... for our sake."
