The Plot... A barge full of thermo-nuclear explosives has been borrowed by a good guy gone bad (Gene Hackman). With the aid of a private computer hacker, the NCRP hopes to intercept the hijacked goods and get them back to their original owner. The FBI, with the aid of Henry Goodpress (Cuba Gooding, Jr.), must race through the Sahara Desert to deliver the borrowed thermo-nuclear explosives promptly to the American people. And if this wasn't enough, he has less than 5 minutes to do it. With the help of a retired weapons specialist (Jon Voight), the good guy must motorbike through the Swiss Alps to deliver the hijacked thermo-nuclear explosives safely to the English military. All this turns sour as he realises that his high school sweetheart (Nicole Kidman) has been working for the evildoers. Along with this there is the loveable antics of a jive talkin' black man (Chris Tucker) 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 won't be easy seeing that an old rival with a score to settle (Lawrence Fishburne) has information regarding his messy life of crime. Just as our hero are leaving on their suicidal mission, they slowly lapse into a sing-along of Love that Dirty Water much to the embarrassment of the PMRC . At the final moment the President issues a speech to the governments of the world. While this moment of truth drags on he says: "This has been the most difficult decision I have ever had to make. Mankind will survive. Mankind MUST survive!" A NASA explosives specialist in the crowd answers this with: "I hope god is on our side."
