The Plot... A jet full of nuclear warheads has been stolen by a former U.S. General (Gene Hackman). With the assistance of a contracted computer hacker, NASA hopes to intercept the pilfered computer chips and return them to their owner. The NCRP, with the aid of Jackson Speedgood (Steve Buschemi), must mountain bike through the New Jersy Turnpike to return the stolen nuclear warheads promptly to the Japanese people. As if it wasn't hard enough, he has a smidge less than 6 days to do it. With the aid of a crochety marine (Bruce Willis), our hero must mountain bike through the Swiss Alps to return the pilfered thermo-nuclear explosives safely to the Argentinian people. The Predicament turns sour as he realises that his common law wife (Catherine Zeta-Jones) has been working for the the villain. Along with this you see the madcap slapstick of a smart alec black man (Chris Tucker) who when held prisoner by the the bad guys says: "What the FUCK!?!?" However this will prove difficult seeing that a nosy reporter (Samuel L. Jackson) has secrets pertaining to his lackluster life of crime. Just as the good guys are setting off on their suicidal journey, they slowly all burst into a sing-along of Werewolves of London much to the disappointment of the PMRC . At the final moment the President fumbles through a decree to the governments of the world. As this dramatic grandstanding drags on he says: "Here we stand, at the dawn of a new tomorrow. This is the dawn of a new tomorrow." A PETA weapons expert watching a TV in a store window answers this with: "He better be right... for our sake." Coming next spring. This film is not yet rated.
