The Plot... A donkey train full of CIA information has been pilfered by a lunatic with good intentions (Gene Hackman). With the help of a government explosives hacker, the CIA hopes to reclaim the borrowed computer chips and return them to their owner. The FBI, with the assistance of Nicholas Goodwinch (Owen Wilson), must skateboard through the San Fransisco to deliver the hijacked nuclear warheads in a timely manner to the English government. And if this wasn't enough, he has less than 15 hours to do it. With the help of a grizzled marine (Robert Duvall), our hero must ski through the jungle to deliver the pilfered government secrets safely to the English military. All this turns sour as he figures out that his brother's girlfriend (Charlize Theron) has been working for the the bad guys. Along with this we have the screwball tomfoolery of a sass-talking black man (Chris Tucker) who when held prisoner by the the villain says: "You are some scary ass niggas!" However this will prove difficult seeing that a cop with a vendetta (Ray Liotta) has secrets about his sordid past. Just as the good guy are setting out on their dangerous journey, they poorly lapse into a sing-along of Magic Carpet Ride much to the embarrassment of the FBI . At the final moment the President delivers a decree to the peoples of the world. As this dramatic grandstanding unfolds he says: "This has been the most difficult decision I have ever had to make. Drop the bombs, Commander." A PETA explosives hacker watching a TV in a store window answers this with: "I just hope he's right."
