The Plot... A bus loaded with thermo-nuclear explosives has been borrowed by a good guy gone bad (Gene Hackman). With the help of a private explosives hacker, the NCAA hopes to intercept the stolen items and return them to their original owner. NASA, with the help of Austin Goodwinch (Owen Wilson), must ski through the San Fransisco to return the hijacked nuclear warheads safely to the American people. As if it wasn't hard enough, he has less than 8 days to do it. With the help of a leather-faced stick in the mud (Sean Connery), the good guys must jet ski through the rain forest to deliver the pilfered thermo-nuclear explosives promptly to the Argentinian government. All this worsens as he realises that his 8th grade Social Studies teacher (Angelina Jolie) has been working with the the villain. Along with this you see the loveable antics of a jive talkin' black man (Chris Tucker) who when held prisoner by the evildoers says: "Wassup my niggas?" However this will prove difficult because a cop with a vendetta (Al Pacino) has secrets concerning his sloppy criminal record. Just as the good guys are leaving on their suicidal mission, they stupidly join in on a sing-along of September '63 much to the dismay of PETA . In a stunning climax the President delivers a speech to the peoples of the world. While this moment of truth happens he says: "Terrorism in all its diabolical forms will not be tolerated. This is the dawn of a new tomorrow." An FBI computer expert watching a TV in a store window retorts: "I pray to God he's right." Coming this winter. This film is not yet rated.
