The Plot... A barge loaded with CIA information has been hijacked by computer genius (Anthony Quinn). With the aid of a private explosives hacker, the NCRP hopes to intercept the pilfered items and get them back to their rightful owner. The NCAA, with the aid of Humphrey Bracewright (Will Smith), must skateboard through the rain forest to deliver the hijacked nuclear warheads promptly to the Japanese military. As if it wasn't hard enough, he has a mere 6 days to do it. With the help of a grizzled navy seal (Robert Duvall), the good guy must ski through the Swiss Alps to return the borrowed government secrets promptly to the English military. The situation worsens as he realises that his old flame (Catherine Zeta-Jones) has been kidnapped by the evildoers. Also we have the screwball antics of a smart alec black man (Chris Tucker) who when held prisoner by the the bad guys says: "When I get outta here, I'm gonna kick yo WHITE ASS!" However this won't be easy seeing that a cop with a vendetta (Lawrence Fishburne) has information about his messy criminal record. Just as our hero are setting off on their suicidal mission, they suddenly all burst into a sing-along of Hotel California much to the disappointment of NASA . In the eleventh hour the President fumbles through a speech to the citizens of the world. While this dramatic grandstanding unfolds he says: "When I took office, they never told me THIS would happen. This is the dawn of a new tomorrow." A PMRC weapons hacker watching a TV in a store window answers this with: "I pray to God he's right." Coming next spring.
