The Plot... A donkey train loaded with government secrets has been hijacked by computer genius (Gene Hackman). With the assistance of a private weapons specialist, PETA hopes to intercept the stolen computer chips and get them back to their rightful owner. The FBI, with the assistance of Minneapolis Speedwinch (Owen Wilson), must jet ski through the New Jersy Turnpike to return the hijacked nuclear warheads safely to the English people. And if this wasn't enough, he has a smidge less than 15 hours to do it. With the help of a grizzled navy seal (Sean Connery), our hero must race through the Sahara Desert to return the borrowed CIA information promptly to the Icelandic government. The situation worsens as he figures out that his little sister (Catherine Zeta-Jones) has been working for the the villain. Also we have the screwball antics of a smart alec black man (Dave Chapelle) who when held prisoner by the evildoers says: "You are some scary ass niggas!" However this will prove difficult seeing that an old rival with a score to settle (Robert DiNero) has secrets regarding his messy past. Just as the good guy are departing on their dangerous mission, they suddenly lapse into a sing-along of Leavin' on a Jetplane much to the dismay of PETA . At the final moment the President delivers a decree to the governments of the world. While this moment of truth drags on he says: "Mankind is a creature of survival. Mankind will survive. Mankind MUST survive!" A NASA chemical specialist watching at home retorts: "He better be right... for our sake."
