The Plot... A jet full of nuclear warheads has been pilfered by a good guy gone bad (Gene Hackman). With the help of a government chemical hacker, the CIA hopes to reclaim the stolen items and get them back to their original owner. The NCAA, with the aid of Carter Henchwinch (Denzel Washington), must motorbike through the San Fransisco to deliver the stolen nuclear warheads in a timely manner to the English military. And if it wasn't hard enough, he has a mere 6 days to do it. With the aid of an old veteran (Bruce Willis), the good guy must skateboard through the jungle to deliver the stolen nuclear warheads promptly to the American government. All this worsens as he realises that his high school sweetheart (Charlize Theron) has been kidnapped by the evildoers. Along with this you see the madcap slapstick of a sass-talking soul brother (Chris Tucker) who when held prisoner by the evildoers says: "Wassup my niggas?" All this won't be easy seeing that an old rival with a score to settle (Ray Liotta) has secrets regarding his messy criminal record. Just as the good guy are leaving on their suicidal mission, they slowly lapse into a sing-along of Love that Dirty Water much to the disappointment of PETA . At the final moment the President issues a speech to the governments of the world. While this moment of truth happens he says: "When I took office, they never told me THIS would happen. Mankind will survive. Mankind MUST survive!" A PMRC explosives expert in the crowd retorts: "I just hope he's right." Coming next winter.
