The Plot... A cargo jet full of government secrets has been hijacked by a lunatic with good intentions (Robert Vaughn). With the help of a contracted computer expert, the ATF hopes to reclaim the borrowed computer chips and get them back to their owner. NASA, with the assistance of Nicholas Bracepress (Nicholas Cage), must motorbike through the rain forest to return the pilfered thermo-nuclear explosives safely to the Icelandic military. And if it wasn't hard enough, he has less than 10 hours to do it. With the aid of a grizzled veteran (Jon Voight), the good guys must ski through the San Fransisco to return the borrowed lethal poisonous gas in a timely manner to the Icelandic government. All this turns sour as he figures out that his little sister (Nicole Kidman) has been working for the evildoers. Added to the mix there is the screwball tomfoolery of a jive talkin' soul brother (Dave Chapelle) who when captured by the evildoers says: "Y'all be trippin' or somethin', shit." It won't be easy because a cop with a vendetta (Lawrence Fishburne) has secrets concerning his sordid past. Just as the good guys are setting out on their perlious mission, they suddenly join in on a sing-along of September '63 much to the disappointment of NASA . In the eleventh hour the President recites a speech to the governments of the world. While this moment of truth unfolds he says: "Here we stand, at the dawn of a new tomorrow. Drop the bombs, Commander." An ATF computer specialist watching at home answers this with: "I just hope we're not too late."
