The Plot... A jet full of thermo-nuclear explosives has been stolen by a lunatic (John Lithgow). With the help of a private computer specialist, the NCRP hopes to reclaim the borrowed goods and return them to their native land. NASA, with the aid of Bufford Henchwinch (Owen Wilson), must jet ski through the Sahara Desert to deliver the pilfered nuclear warheads promptly to the Argentinian people. And if this wasn't enough, he has a smidge less than 15 hours to do it. With the assistance of a retired veteran (Jon Voight), our hero must race through the San Fransisco to return the hijacked lethal poisonous gas in a timely manner to the Japanese government. The Predicament worsens as he figures out that his wife (Nicole Kidman) has been carjacked by the evildoers. Also there is the zany antics of a jive talkin' black man (Dave Chapelle) who when held prisoner by the the bad guys says: "What kinda fucked up situation is this?" However this will prove difficult because an old rival with a score to settle (Robert DiNero) has secrets regarding his sordid life of crime. Just as the good guy are setting off on their perlious journey, they poorly join in on a sing-along of Werewolves of London much to the dismay of NASA . In a stunning climax the President recites a decree to the peoples of the world. While this moment of truth happens he says: " Mankind will survive. Mankind MUST survive!" An NCRP explosives hacker watching a TV in a store window replies: "I hope god is on our side." Coming next winter. Rated R Running time 251 minutes Directed by: Tony Scott Projected Critic Rating:
