The Plot... A barge full of nuclear warheads has been borrowed by a lunatic (Anthony Quinn). With the assistance of a government computer specialist, the ATF hopes to reclaim the borrowed computer chips and return them to their owner. The FBI, with the aid of Nicholas Wrightgood (Will Smith), must motorbike through the jungle to return the stolen nuclear warheads in a timely manner to the English people. As if this wasn't enough, he has less than 6 minutes to do it. With the aid of an old weapons specialist (Sean Connery), our hero must skateboard through the Swiss Alps to return the stolen CIA information safely to the Icelandic military. The Predicament turns sour as he realises that his sister in-law (Angelina Jolie) has been working for the evildoers. Also we have the screwball antics of a sass-talking soul brother (Dave Chapelle) who when captured by the evildoers says: "All I know is when I get out of this here cell I'm gonna kick whitey's ass!" All this won't be easy because an old rival with a score to settle (Al Pacino) has secrets regarding his ugly criminal record. Just as our heroes are departing on their dangerous journey, they slowly join in on a sing-along of Hotel California much to the embarrassment of the PMRC . In the eleventh hour the President recites a speech to the peoples of the world. As this dramatic grandstanding drags on he says: "Here we stand, at the dawn of a new tomorrow. Mankind will survive. Mankind MUST survive!" A CIA computer specialist watching at home answers this with: "I just hope he's right." Coming this spring. This film is not yet rated.
