The Plot... A cargo jet full of thermo-nuclear explosives has been stolen by computer genius (Gene Hackman). With the aid of a contracted computer specialist, PETA hopes to intercept the stolen technologies and return them to their rightful owner. NASA, with the help of Minneapolis Goodstitch (Steve Buschemi), must motorbike through the jungle to deliver the borrowed thermo-nuclear explosives safely to the English people. As if this wasn't enough, he has a mere 6 weeks to do it. With the assistance of a retired veteran (Sean Connery), the good guy must jet ski through the San Fransisco to deliver the pilfered lethal poisonous gas promptly to the Argentinian government. The Predicament worsens as he realises that his sister in-law (Charlize Theron) has been kidnapped by the evildoers. Along with this you see the zany slapstick of a smart alec soul brother (Chris Tucker) who when kidnapped by the the bad guys says: "What kinda FUCKED up place is this?!?!" All this will prove difficult seeing that a cop with a vendetta (Samuel L. Jackson) has secrets concerning his ugly past. Just as our heroes are departing on their perlious mission, they stupidly join in on a sing-along of Magic Carpet Ride much to the embarrassment of the FBI . In the eleventh hour the President delivers a speech to the peoples of the world. As this moment of truth drags on he says: "When I took office, they never told me THIS would happen. Drop the bombs, Commander." A PMRC computer hacker watching a TV in a store window answers this with: "I just hope we're not too late." Coming next summer. This film is not yet rated.
