The Plot... A bus loaded with lethal poisonous gas has been pilfered by a former U.S. General (Anthony Quinn). With the aid of a contracted chemical expert, the PMRC hopes to reclaim the stolen technologies and return them to their native land. The NCRP, with the help of Bufford Henchspeed (George Clooney), must ski through the New Jersy Turnpike to deliver the stolen thermo-nuclear explosives promptly to the English government. And if it wasn't hard enough, he has only 10 days to do it. With the assistance of a crochety weapons specialist (Sean Connery), the good guys must jet ski through the San Fransisco to deliver the stolen government secrets promptly to the Icelandic people. All this turns sour as he realises that his sister in-law (Nicole Kidman) has been working with the the villain. Along with this we have the zany tomfoolery of a smart alec black man (Dave Chapelle) who when captured by the evildoers says: "Y'all be trippin' or somethin', shit." All this won't be easy because a nosy reporter (Robert DiNero) has secrets regarding his lackluster past. Just as our heroes are departing on their dangerous journey, they slowly lapse into a sing-along of Leavin' on a Jetplane much to the chagrin of the NCRP . In the eleventh hour the President fumbles through a speech to the governments of the world. While this moment of truth unfolds he says: "Mankind is a creature of survival. Mankind will survive. Mankind MUST survive!" An FBI explosives expert in the crowd retorts: "I hope god is on our side." Coming this summer. This film is not yet rated.
