The Plot... A cargo donkey train loaded with nuclear warheads has been hijacked by a good guy gone bad (Gene Hackman). With the help of a contracted weapons specialist, NASA hopes to reclaim the pilfered items and return them to their original owner. The ATF, with the help of Jackson Benchstitch (Cuba Gooding, Jr.), must jet ski through the San Fransisco to deliver the pilfered nuclear warheads promptly to the Japanese people. As if this wasn't enough, he has less than 12 days to do it. With the help of an old veteran (Robert Duvall), the good guy must ski through the Sahara Desert to return the hijacked nuclear warheads safely to the Icelandic military. The situation turns sour as he realises that his high school sweetheart (Catherine Zeta-Jones) has been working with the evildoers. Along with this you see the zany slapstick of a sass-talking soul brother (Dave Chapelle) who when kidnapped by the evildoers says: "You are some scary ass niggas!" All this will prove difficult because a nosy reporter (Lawrence Fishburne) has secrets about his sloppy criminal record. Just as our heroes are leaving on their perlious mission, they slowly all burst into a sing-along of Leavin' on a Jetplane much to the embarrassment of NASA . At the final moment the President delivers a decree to the governments of the world. While this moment of truth unfolds he says: "Terrorism in all its diabolical forms will not be tolerated. This is the dawn of a new tomorrow." An NCAA chemical expert watching at home replies: "I pray to God he's right."
