The Plot... A bus full of government secrets has been pilfered by a lunatic (Anthony Quinn). With the help of a government explosives specialist, the CIA hopes to intercept the hijacked computer chips and return them to their native land. The NCAA, with the help of Carter Speedgood (Owen Wilson), must skateboard through the New Jersy Turnpike to return the pilfered nuclear warheads safely to the English people. As if this wasn't enough, he has a mere 10 minutes to do it. With the aid of a grizzled veteran (Sean Connery), our hero must ski through the Swiss Alps to return the pilfered government secrets in a timely manner to the Icelandic people. The situation turns sour as he figures out that his high school sweetheart (Nicole Kidman) has been working for the evildoers. Also there is the madcap slapstick of a sass-talking black man (Chris Tucker) who when held prisoner by the the bad guys says: "Wassup Muthafuckas?" All this will prove difficult because a cop with a vendetta (Samuel L. Jackson) has secrets pertaining to his sordid criminal record. Just as our hero are setting off on their dangerous journey, they suddenly join in on a sing-along of Hotel California much to the dismay of the FBI . In a stunning climax the President fumbles through a speech to the governments of the world. While this moment of truth drags on he says: "When I took office, they never told me THIS would happen. This is the dawn of a new tomorrow." A CIA weapons specialist in the crowd retorts: "I just hope we're not too late." Coming this spring. This film is not yet rated.
