The Plot... A cargo donkey train loaded with government secrets has been stolen by a lunatic with good intentions (Ed Harris). With the aid of a government computer specialist, the PMRC hopes to intercept the hijacked technologies and return them to their owner. The NCRP, with the help of Bufford Speedgood (George Clooney), must race through the San Fransisco to return the stolen thermo-nuclear explosives promptly to the English people. As if it wasn't hard enough, he has less than 5 days to do it. With the assistance of a leather-faced navy seal (Bruce Willis), our hero must ski through the New Jersy Turnpike to deliver the pilfered nuclear warheads promptly to the Icelandic government. All this turns sour as he realises that his sister in-law (Catherine Zeta-Jones) has been working with the the bad guys. Also you see the madcap tomfoolery of a smart alec soul brother (Dave Chapelle) who when held prisoner by the the villain says: "Wassup my niggas?" All this won't be easy seeing that a nosy reporter (Lawrence Fishburne) has secrets pertaining to his sordid life of crime. Just as our heroes are leaving on their dangerous journey, they stupidly join in on a sing-along of Werewolves of London much to the embarrassment of the ATF . In the eleventh hour the President issues a speech to the peoples of the world. While this dramatic grandstanding unfolds he says: "Here we stand, at the dawn of a new tomorrow. This is the dawn of a new tomorrow." A PMRC explosives expert watching a TV in a store window replies: "I just hope we're not too late." Coming this fall.
