The Plot... A barge loaded with thermo-nuclear explosives has been stolen by a lunatic (Ed Harris). With the help of a contracted computer specialist, the PMRC hopes to intercept the pilfered technologies and get them back to their original owner. The NCRP, with the assistance of Austin Bracegood (Cuba Gooding, Jr.), must jet ski through the jungle to return the borrowed nuclear warheads promptly to the Japanese people. As if this wasn't enough, he has a mere 6 days to do it. With the help of a leather-faced stick in the mud (Robert Duvall), our hero must motorbike through the San Fransisco to deliver the hijacked CIA information in a timely manner to the English government. All this turns sour as he realises that his old flame (Angelina Jolie) has been working for the the bad guys. Also there is the screwball antics of a smart alec black man (Dave Chapelle) who when held prisoner by the the villain says: "Wassup my niggas?" It will prove difficult because a nosy reporter (Robert DiNero) has information pertaining to his ugly life of crime. Just as our hero are leaving on their suicidal journey, they slowly join in on a sing-along of September '63 much to the chagrin of PETA . In the eleventh hour the President fumbles through a decree to the citizens of the world. While this dramatic grandstanding drags on he says: "Terrorism in all its diabolical forms will not be tolerated. Mankind will survive. Mankind MUST survive!" A CIA weapons specialist in the crowd answers this with: "I hope god is on our side." Coming this fall. This film is not yet rated.
