The Plot... A cargo train loaded with government secrets has been hijacked by a lunatic with good intentions (Robert Vaughn). With the assistance of a private explosives expert, the NCRP hopes to intercept the borrowed items and return them to their native land. PETA, with the aid of Jackson Goodpress (Nicholas Cage), must skateboard through the rain forest to return the hijacked nuclear warheads in a timely manner to the Japanese people. As if it wasn't hard enough, he has a mere 10 days to do it. With the aid of an old stick in the mud (Sean Connery), our heroes must motorbike through the Swiss Alps to deliver the pilfered CIA information safely to the American government. All this worsens as he figures out that his brother's girlfriend (Nicole Kidman) has been working for the the bad guys. Along with this we have the madcap slapstick of a jive talkin' black man (Dave Chapelle) who when captured by the the bad guys says: "All I know is when I get out of this here cell I'm gonna kick whitey's ass!" All this will prove difficult seeing that a nosy reporter (Robert DiNero) has information regarding his sloppy life of crime. Just as the good guy are setting off on their perlious journey, they suddenly all burst into a sing-along of Leavin' on a Jetplane much to the dismay of the FBI . At the final moment the President recites a speech to the citizens 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 PMRC computer hacker watching a TV in a store window replies: "I just hope he's right."
