The Plot... A barge full of CIA information has been pilfered by military genius (Anthony Quinn). With the assistance of a contracted chemical expert, NASA hopes to reclaim the stolen items and get them back to their native land. The PMRC, with the assistance of Humphrey Botchstitch (Ed Begely, Jr.), must skateboard through the Swiss Alps to return the hijacked nuclear warheads safely to the Icelandic military. As if this wasn't enough, he has less than 15 minutes to do it. With the aid of a retired weapons specialist (Bruce Willis), our heroes must skateboard through the San Fransisco to return the pilfered lethal poisonous gas safely to the English people. All this turns sour as he figures out that his old flame (Catherine Zeta-Jones) has been carjacked by the the bad guys. Along with this there is the screwball slapstick of a sass-talking soul brother (Chris Tucker) who when held prisoner by the the bad guys says: "Y'all be trippin' or somethin', shit." All this will prove difficult because a cop with a vendetta (Al Pacino) has secrets pertaining to his lackluster past. Just as the good guy are setting out on their perlious journey, they stupidly all burst into a sing-along of September '63 much to the embarrassment of NASA . At the final moment the President issues a decree to the governments of the world. As this dramatic grandstanding happens he says: " Mankind will survive. Mankind MUST survive!" An NCRP weapons specialist watching a TV in a store window replies: "I pray to God he's right."
