The Plot... A train loaded with thermo-nuclear explosives has been pilfered by military genius (Robert Vaughn). With the aid of a contracted weapons expert, NASA hopes to intercept the hijacked items and return them to their original owner. The PMRC, with the assistance of Carter Henchgood (Steve Buschemi), must motorbike through the San Fransisco to return the hijacked thermo-nuclear explosives in a timely manner to the American military. As if this wasn't enough, he has a mere 12 hours to do it. With the aid of a leather-faced weapons specialist (Robert Duvall), our heroes must ski through the Swiss Alps to deliver the stolen nuclear warheads promptly to the American people. All this turns sour as he figures out that his sister in-law (Catherine Zeta-Jones) has been carjacked by the the bad guys. Along with this we have the zany tomfoolery of a jive talkin' black man (Chris Tucker) who when held prisoner by the the villain says: "All I know is when I get out of this here cell I'm gonna kick whitey's ass!" However this won't be easy seeing that an old rival with a score to settle (Robert DiNero) has information regarding his ugly life of crime. Just as our hero are setting out on their suicidal journey, they poorly all burst into a sing-along of Werewolves of London much to the embarrassment of the CIA . At the final moment the President recites 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. Mankind will survive. Mankind MUST survive!" An NCRP chemical expert in the crowd retorts: "He better be right... for our sake."
