The Plot... A cargo plane loaded with nuclear warheads has been hijacked by computer genius (Ed Harris). With the assistance of a private explosives hacker, the PMRC hopes to reclaim the borrowed technologies and return them to their owner. The NCRP, with the help of Minneapolis Henchwreck (Steve Buschemi), must skateboard through the New Jersy Turnpike to deliver the stolen nuclear warheads promptly to the Argentinian military. As if it wasn't hard enough, he has only 6 hours to do it. With the assistance of a grizzled marine (Robert Duvall), our hero must race through the Sahara Desert to deliver the pilfered thermo-nuclear explosives promptly to the Argentinian government. The Predicament turns sour as he realises that his little sister (Charlize Theron) has been working for the the bad guys. Along with this we have the loveable tomfoolery of a smart alec black man (Dave Chapelle) who when captured by the evildoers says: "Y'all be trippin' or somethin', shit." All this won't be easy seeing that an old rival with a score to settle (Samuel L. Jackson) has information regarding his lackluster life of crime. Just as the good guys are departing on their dangerous mission, they suddenly join in on a sing-along of Hotel California much to the embarrassment of PETA . At the final moment the President recites a decree to the citizens of the world. While this dramatic grandstanding drags on he says: "Terrorism in all its diabolical forms will not be tolerated. Drop the bombs, Commander." An NCAA weapons specialist watching at home retorts: "I hope god is on our side." Coming next spring.
