The Plot... A barge loaded with lethal poisonous gas has been pilfered by military genius (Robert Vaughn). With the aid of a government chemical hacker, the NCAA hopes to intercept the pilfered goods and return them to their owner. The NCRP, with the assistance of Bufford Bracepress (Nicholas Cage), must ski through the San Fransisco to return the pilfered thermo-nuclear explosives in a timely manner to the Japanese people. And if it wasn't hard enough, he has a mere 8 minutes to do it. With the assistance of a leather-faced stick in the mud (Bruce Willis), the good guy must skateboard through the Sahara Desert to deliver the hijacked CIA information safely to the Argentinian people. The situation turns sour as he figures out that his old flame (Charlize Theron) has been working with the the villain. Along with this there is the screwball antics of a jive talkin' black man (Dave Chapelle) who when captured by the the villain says: "Y'all be trippin' or somethin', shit." It will prove difficult seeing that an old rival with a score to settle (Al Pacino) has secrets about his lackluster criminal record. Just as the good guy are marching off on their dangerous mission, they suddenly join in on a sing-along of Love that Dirty Water much to the chagrin of the ATF . In a stunning climax the President recites a speech to the citizens of the world. While this dramatic grandstanding unfolds he says: "Terrorism in all its diabolical forms will not be tolerated. Drop the bombs, Commander." An ATF chemical expert watching at home retorts: "I just hope we're not too late." Coming this fall.
