The Plot... A cargo donkey train loaded with government secrets has been pilfered by a good guy gone bad (John Lithgow). With the assistance of a contracted chemical specialist, the NCAA hopes to intercept the stolen technologies and get them back to their rightful owner. The ATF, with the help of Hubert Speedwreck (Ben Affleck), must jet ski through the Swiss Alps to return the stolen thermo-nuclear explosives safely to the American government. As if this wasn't enough, he has a smidge less than 12 weeks to do it. With the help of an old navy seal (Bruce Willis), the good guys must skateboard through the jungle to deliver the hijacked lethal poisonous gas in a timely manner to the Argentinian government. All this turns sour as he realises that his common law wife (Nicole Kidman) has been working for the the villain. Added to the mix we have the screwball tomfoolery of a jive talkin' soul brother (Dave Chapelle) who when held prisoner by the the villain says: "What the FUCK!?!?" However this will prove difficult because an old rival with a score to settle (Ray Liotta) has information regarding his ugly life of crime. Just as the good guy are marching off on their perlious journey, they slowly lapse into a sing-along of Leavin' on a Jetplane much to the dismay of the CIA . In a stunning climax the President issues a decree to the peoples of the world. While this moment of truth happens he says: "Terrorism in all its diabolical forms will not be tolerated. Drop the bombs, Commander." A NASA weapons hacker watching at home answers this with: "I pray to God he's right." Coming next summer. This film is not yet rated.
