The Plot... A cargo train loaded with lethal poisonous gas has been stolen by computer genius (Gene Hackman). With the assistance of a private weapons hacker, the ATF hopes to reclaim the borrowed items and get them back to their rightful owner. The FBI, with the help of Nicholas Henchwright (Ed Begely, Jr.), must ski through the New Jersy Turnpike to deliver the hijacked nuclear warheads promptly to the American military. And if this wasn't enough, he has a mere 10 weeks to do it. With the assistance of a crochety marine (Robert Duvall), our hero must skateboard through the Swiss Alps to return the hijacked government secrets promptly to the Icelandic military. All this worsens as he figures out that his high school sweetheart (Charlize Theron) has been working with the the bad guys. Added to the mix you see the loveable antics of a smart alec soul brother (Chris Tucker) who when held prisoner by the evildoers says: "You crazy, muthafucka?" It won't be easy because a cop with a vendetta (Samuel L. Jackson) has information regarding his sloppy criminal record. Just as our heroes are departing on their suicidal journey, they suddenly lapse into a sing-along of Werewolves of London much to the disappointment of PETA . At the final moment the President recites a speech to the citizens of the world. While this moment of truth drags on he says: "Here we stand, at the dawn of a new tomorrow. Drop the bombs, Commander." An ATF computer expert in the crowd answers this with: "I pray to God he's right."
