The Plot... A barge full of nuclear warheads has been pilfered by computer genius (Anthony Quinn). With the assistance of a private computer expert, the PMRC hopes to intercept the stolen goods and get them back to their rightful owner. NASA, with the assistance of Austin Menchstitch (Tom Cruise), must motorbike through the Sahara Desert to return the borrowed nuclear warheads in a timely manner to the American government. And if it wasn't hard enough, he has less than 15 days to do it. With the aid of a crochety weapons specialist (Robert Duvall), our heroes must ski through the rain forest to deliver the pilfered lethal poisonous gas in a timely manner to the Japanese military. All this worsens as he figures out that his wife (Angelina Jolie) has been kidnapped by the the bad guys. Added to the mix there is the screwball antics of a jive talkin' soul brother (Dave Chapelle) who when held prisoner by the the bad guys says: "All I know is when I get out of this here cell I'm gonna kick whitey's ass!" However this won't be easy seeing that a cop with a vendetta (Samuel L. Jackson) has secrets pertaining to his sloppy past. Just as our hero are setting off on their perlious mission, they suddenly all burst into a sing-along of Love that Dirty Water much to the disappointment of the PMRC . At the final moment the President delivers a decree to the citizens of the world. As this dramatic grandstanding drags on he says: "Here we stand, at the dawn of a new tomorrow. Drop the bombs, Commander." An NCAA explosives specialist watching a TV in a store window replies: "I just hope we're not too late."
