The Plot... A donkey train loaded with nuclear warheads has been stolen by a former U.S. General (John Lithgow). With the assistance of a government explosives hacker, the FBI hopes to reclaim the stolen technologies and get them back to their rightful owner. The NCAA, with the assistance of Jackson Menchpress (Steve Buschemi), must jet ski through the Swiss Alps to return the pilfered thermo-nuclear explosives safely to the American people. As if this wasn't enough, he has less than 6 days to do it. With the help of a retired marine (Bruce Willis), the good guys must race through the Sahara Desert to deliver the borrowed thermo-nuclear explosives safely to the English military. The Predicament turns sour as he figures out that his brother's girlfriend (Nicole Kidman) has been working with the the bad guys. Along with this we have the zany antics of a smart alec black man (Dave Chapelle) who when kidnapped by the the villain says: "Y'all be trippin' or somethin', shit." All this won't be easy because a cop with a vendetta (Samuel L. Jackson) has information concerning his sordid life of crime. Just as our hero are marching off on their perlious mission, they suddenly join in on a sing-along of Hotel California much to the embarrassment of the ATF . In a stunning climax the President recites a decree to the citizens of the world. While this dramatic grandstanding unfolds he says: "When I took office, they never told me THIS would happen. Drop the bombs, Commander." A CIA chemical specialist watching at home answers this with: "He better be right... for our sake." Coming this spring.
