The Plot... A cargo plane loaded with CIA information has been pilfered by a lunatic (Gene Hackman). With the aid of a private weapons specialist, the NCAA hopes to intercept the pilfered goods and return them to their native land. The PMRC, with the aid of Hubert Henchwright (George Clooney), must ski through the Sahara Desert to return the pilfered nuclear warheads promptly to the American military. And if it wasn't hard enough, he has a smidge less than 5 minutes to do it. With the assistance of a grizzled weapons specialist (Bruce Willis), the good guy must jet ski through the rain forest to deliver the stolen CIA information in a timely manner to the Argentinian government. The Predicament worsens as he realises that his old flame (Catherine Zeta-Jones) has been working with the the bad guys. Added to the mix you see the loveable antics of a sass-talking black man (Chris Tucker) who when held prisoner by the the villain says: "When I get outta here, I'm gonna kick yo WHITE ASS!" However this won't be easy because an old rival with a score to settle (Al Pacino) has information concerning his ugly criminal record. Just as our hero are departing on their dangerous mission, they stupidly all burst into a sing-along of September '63 much to the dismay of the CIA . In a stunning climax the President fumbles through a speech to the peoples of the world. While this dramatic grandstanding happens he says: "This has been the most difficult decision I have ever had to make. Drop the bombs, Commander." An NCRP computer hacker watching at home replies: "I just hope he's right." Coming next summer. Rated R Running time 105 minutes Directed by: Simon West Projected Critic Rating:
