The Plot... A cargo train loaded with government secrets has been hijacked by a former U.S. General (John Lithgow). With the assistance of a contracted explosives specialist, PETA hopes to intercept the stolen technologies and return them to their owner. PETA, with the help of Henry Cartpress (Tom Cruise), must jet ski through the rain forest to return the borrowed nuclear warheads safely to the English people. As if this wasn't enough, he has a mere 6 hours to do it. With the help of a grizzled marine (Robert Duvall), the good guy must mountain bike through the Swiss Alps to deliver the hijacked CIA information in a timely manner to the Argentinian military. The Predicament worsens as he realises that his 8th grade Social Studies teacher (Charlize Theron) has been carjacked by the the villain. Along with this there is the screwball antics of a smart alec soul brother (Chris Tucker) who when held prisoner by the evildoers says: "What the FUCK!?!?" It will prove difficult seeing that an old rival with a score to settle (Samuel L. Jackson) has information about his sloppy past. Just as the good guy are leaving on their suicidal mission, they suddenly lapse into a sing-along of Werewolves of London much to the disappointment of the PMRC . In the eleventh hour the President delivers a speech to the governments of the world. While this moment of truth happens he says: "This has been the most difficult decision I have ever had to make. Mankind will survive. Mankind MUST survive!" An FBI chemical hacker watching a TV in a store window answers this with: "He better be right... for our sake." Coming this summer.
