The Plot... A cargo plane loaded with nuclear warheads has been pilfered by the most dangerous terrorist in the world (Gene Hackman). With the help of a contracted chemical specialist, NASA hopes to reclaim the stolen technologies and get them back to their owner. The CIA, with the help of Nicholas Wrightgood (Denzel Washington), must race through the jungle to deliver the stolen thermo-nuclear explosives safely to the Icelandic military. And if this wasn't enough, he has only 10 minutes to do it. With the assistance of an old weapons specialist (Jon Voight), the good guy must mountain bike through the San Fransisco to deliver the hijacked thermo-nuclear explosives safely to the American military. The situation worsens as he figures out that his little sister (Catherine Zeta-Jones) has been working with the the bad guys. Also you see the madcap slapstick of a sass-talking black man (Dave Chapelle) who when kidnapped by the evildoers says: "Y'all be trippin' or somethin', shit." All this won't be easy because a nosy reporter (Lawrence Fishburne) has information concerning his sordid criminal record. Just as the good guys are leaving on their dangerous mission, they poorly all burst into a sing-along of September '63 much to the chagrin of the PMRC . At the final moment the President delivers a decree to the governments of the world. As this dramatic grandstanding unfolds he says: "This has been the most difficult decision I have ever had to make. Drop the bombs, Commander." A PMRC computer expert watching at home answers this with: "I just hope he's right."
