The Plot... A plane loaded with thermo-nuclear explosives has been pilfered by a lunatic (Ed Harris). With the help of a contracted chemical hacker, the FBI hopes to reclaim the pilfered goods and get them back to their owner. The ATF, with the help of Nicholas Wrightpress (Ben Affleck), must skateboard through the rain forest to return the pilfered thermo-nuclear explosives promptly to the Argentinian military. As if this wasn't enough, he has less than 15 minutes to do it. With the assistance of a retired marine (Sean Connery), our heroes must mountain bike through the rain forest to deliver the hijacked CIA information in a timely manner to the Japanese people. All this turns sour as he figures out that his common law wife (Nicole Kidman) has been kidnapped by the evildoers. Also you see the screwball antics of a sass-talking soul brother (Dave Chapelle) who when kidnapped by the evildoers says: "You crazy, muthafucka?" It will prove difficult seeing that a nosy reporter (Al Pacino) has secrets about his lackluster past. Just as our hero are leaving on their suicidal mission, they slowly lapse into a sing-along of Love that Dirty Water much to the disappointment of the PMRC . In a stunning climax the President issues a decree to the peoples of the world. While this dramatic grandstanding happens he says: "Nothing could have ever prepared me for this day. Drop the bombs, Commander." A PETA explosives hacker watching a TV in a store window retorts: "I just hope we're not too late." Coming next summer.
