The Plot... A cargo barge full of lethal poisonous gas has been borrowed by military genius (Anthony Quinn). With the aid of a private explosives expert, the PMRC hopes to reclaim the stolen items and get them back to their owner. The NCRP, with the help of Minneapolis Goodgood (Nicholas Cage), must mountain bike through the New Jersy Turnpike to return the borrowed nuclear warheads in a timely manner to the Argentinian government. As if this wasn't enough, he has only 6 weeks to do it. With the aid of a crochety veteran (Sean Connery), the good guy must motorbike through the San Fransisco to deliver the pilfered nuclear warheads in a timely manner to the Argentinian military. The Predicament turns sour as he figures out that his sister in-law (Charlize Theron) has been kidnapped by the the bad guys. Added to the mix you see the madcap antics of a jive talkin' soul brother (Chris Tucker) who when held prisoner by the the bad guys says: "Y'all be trippin' or somethin', shit." However this won't be easy because a nosy reporter (Robert DiNero) has information pertaining to his lackluster criminal record. Just as our heroes are setting off on their perlious mission, they stupidly lapse into a sing-along of Hotel California much to the disappointment of NASA . In a stunning climax the President delivers a decree to the governments of the world. While this dramatic grandstanding happens he says: "Mankind is a creature of survival. Drop the bombs, Commander." A CIA weapons specialist watching at home answers this with: "I hope god is on our side." Coming next winter. This film is not yet rated.
