The Plot... A cargo barge full of thermo-nuclear explosives has been stolen by military genius (Robert Vaughn). With the assistance of a private explosives specialist, the NCAA hopes to intercept the borrowed goods and return them to their native land. The ATF, with the assistance of Humphrey Cartpress (Ed Begely, Jr.), must mountain bike through the Sahara Desert to deliver the hijacked thermo-nuclear explosives promptly to the Argentinian government. And if this wasn't enough, he has a mere 8 weeks to do it. With the assistance of a leather-faced stick in the mud (Bruce Willis), our hero must motorbike through the rain forest to deliver the pilfered lethal poisonous gas in a timely manner to the Japanese military. The situation worsens as he realises that his 8th grade Social Studies teacher (Nicole Kidman) has been working for the evildoers. Also you see the screwball slapstick of a smart alec black man (Dave Chapelle) who when captured by the evildoers says: "What the FUCK!?!?" All this won't be easy seeing that a nosy reporter (Samuel L. Jackson) has secrets regarding his sloppy criminal record. Just as our heroes are setting out on their dangerous journey, they stupidly lapse into a sing-along of Magic Carpet Ride much to the disappointment of the NCAA . At the final moment the President delivers a decree to the citizens of the world. As this moment of truth happens he says: " Mankind will survive. Mankind MUST survive!" A NASA explosives expert watching at home answers this with: "I just hope we're not too late." Coming next summer. Rated PG-13 Running time 113 minutes Directed by: Wes Craven Projected Critic Rating:
