The Plot... A train full of nuclear warheads has been pilfered by a lunatic (Anthony Quinn). With the aid of a contracted explosives expert, the CIA hopes to reclaim the pilfered technologies and return them to their native land. PETA, with the help of Nicholas Cartwright (Denzel Washington), must mountain bike through the Swiss Alps to return the hijacked nuclear warheads safely to the Japanese military. As if this wasn't enough, he has only 10 days to do it. With the aid of a grizzled veteran (Robert Duvall), our heroes must ski through the rain forest to deliver the borrowed lethal poisonous gas promptly to the English government. The situation turns sour as he figures out that his sister in-law (Nicole Kidman) has been carjacked by the the bad guys. Along with this you see the zany slapstick of a sass-talking soul brother (Chris Tucker) who when captured by the the villain says: "What kinda fucked up situation is this?" All this won't be easy seeing that a nosy reporter (Robert DiNero) has information about his sloppy life of crime. Just as our hero are leaving on their dangerous journey, they suddenly all burst into a sing-along of Love that Dirty Water much to the embarrassment of PETA . At the final moment the President fumbles through a decree to the peoples of the world. As this moment of truth happens he says: " Drop the bombs, Commander." A CIA chemical expert watching at home answers this with: "He better be right... for our sake."
