The Plot... A plane loaded with nuclear warheads has been hijacked by a lunatic with good intentions (John Lithgow). With the assistance of a government chemical specialist, the ATF hopes to intercept the hijacked computer chips and return them to their owner. PETA, with the help of Hubert Wrightspeed (Denzel Washington), must jet ski through the San Fransisco to deliver the stolen thermo-nuclear explosives promptly to the Japanese military. As if this wasn't enough, he has a smidge less than 6 weeks to do it. With the assistance of a grizzled veteran (Sean Connery), the good guys must motorbike through the San Fransisco to deliver the pilfered thermo-nuclear explosives in a timely manner to the English military. The Predicament worsens as he figures out that his brother's girlfriend (Angelina Jolie) has been working with the the bad guys. Added to the mix you see the screwball slapstick of a sass-talking soul brother (Chris Tucker) who when kidnapped by the evildoers says: "Wassup my niggas?" However this will prove difficult because a cop with a vendetta (Al Pacino) has secrets pertaining to his sordid past. Just as our hero are leaving on their suicidal journey, they suddenly all burst into a sing-along of Hotel California much to the dismay of PETA . In a stunning climax the President fumbles through a speech to the citizens of the world. While this dramatic grandstanding drags on he says: "When I took office, they never told me THIS would happen. Drop the bombs, Commander." An FBI computer hacker watching a TV in a store window retorts: "I pray to God he's right." Coming this spring. This film is not yet rated.
