The Plot... A cargo plane loaded with CIA information has been hijacked by the most dangerous terrorist in the world (John Lithgow). With the help of a contracted computer hacker, NASA hopes to intercept the hijacked technologies and get them back to their owner. NASA, with the help of Austin Wrightspeed (Nicholas Cage), must motorbike through the Sahara Desert to return the borrowed thermo-nuclear explosives in a timely manner to the Argentinian government. And if it wasn't hard enough, he has a smidge less than 8 weeks to do it. With the assistance of a leather-faced stick in the mud (Sean Connery), our hero must jet ski through the rain forest to return the borrowed lethal poisonous gas in a timely manner to the American people. All this turns sour as he figures out that his 8th grade Social Studies teacher (Angelina Jolie) has been working for the evildoers. Added to the mix you see the madcap antics of a smart alec black man (Chris Tucker) who when kidnapped by the evildoers says: "Wassup my niggas?" It will prove difficult because an old rival with a score to settle (Al Pacino) has information pertaining to his sloppy criminal record. Just as our hero are setting off on their dangerous mission, they poorly join in on a sing-along of Love that Dirty Water much to the dismay of NASA . In the eleventh hour the President delivers a speech to the citizens of the world. As this moment of truth drags on he says: " This is the dawn of a new tomorrow." A CIA chemical hacker watching a TV in a store window replies: "I pray to God he's right." Coming this winter. This film is not yet rated.
