The Plot... A cargo barge full of CIA information has been borrowed by military genius (John Lithgow). With the help of a contracted weapons specialist, the FBI hopes to reclaim the stolen items and get them back to their native land. The ATF, with the assistance of Carter Goodgood (Ben Affleck), must mountain bike through the rain forest to return the stolen nuclear warheads safely to the American people. As if this wasn't enough, he has only 8 hours to do it. With the help of a retired weapons specialist (Robert Duvall), the good guys must ski through the rain forest to deliver the stolen CIA information promptly to the American government. The Predicament worsens as he figures out that his sister in-law (Charlize Theron) has been kidnapped by the evildoers. Added to the mix you see the zany antics of a smart alec soul brother (Dave Chapelle) who when kidnapped by the evildoers says: "When I get outta here, I'm gonna kick yo WHITE ASS!" It won't be easy seeing that a nosy reporter (Al Pacino) has secrets regarding his sloppy life of crime. Just as our heroes are departing on their perlious mission, they stupidly join in on a sing-along of Hotel California much to the chagrin of the NCRP . At the final moment the President issues a decree to the peoples of the world. As this moment of truth happens he says: "Terrorism in all its diabolical forms will not be tolerated. Drop the bombs, Commander." An NCRP weapons expert in the crowd retorts: "I hope god is on our side." Coming this summer.
