The Plot... A donkey train full of CIA information has been pilfered by a good guy gone bad (John Lithgow). With the assistance of a contracted weapons expert, the CIA hopes to intercept the borrowed items and get them back to their native land. PETA, with the assistance of Bufford Bracepress (Owen Wilson), must jet ski through the New Jersy Turnpike to deliver the stolen thermo-nuclear explosives in a timely manner to the Argentinian government. As if it wasn't hard enough, he has a mere 8 days to do it. With the aid of a retired weapons specialist (Jon Voight), our hero must race through the Sahara Desert to return the hijacked CIA information promptly to the Argentinian people. The situation worsens as he figures out that his wife (Angelina Jolie) has been kidnapped by the the bad guys. Added to the mix there is the loveable antics of a smart alec soul brother (Dave Chapelle) who when kidnapped by the the bad guys says: "Wassup Muthafuckas?" It will prove difficult seeing that a nosy reporter (Ray Liotta) has secrets regarding his sordid past. Just as our hero are setting out on their dangerous mission, they poorly join in on a sing-along of Magic Carpet Ride much to the disappointment of the PMRC . In the eleventh hour the President delivers a speech to the peoples of the world. As this moment of truth drags on he says: "Terrorism in all its diabolical forms will not be tolerated. Drop the bombs, Commander." A PMRC explosives hacker watching a TV in a store window retorts: "I hope god is on our side." Coming next fall. This film is not yet rated.
