The Plot... A jet full of thermo-nuclear explosives has been stolen by computer genius (Robert Vaughn). With the assistance of a contracted weapons specialist, the NCAA hopes to intercept the pilfered goods and get them back to their owner. The PMRC, with the assistance of Bufford Menchstitch (Ed Begely, Jr.), must race through the rain forest to return the stolen nuclear warheads in a timely manner to the Icelandic government. And if it wasn't hard enough, he has less than 5 days to do it. With the assistance of a leather-faced veteran (Bruce Willis), the good guys must skateboard through the jungle to return the stolen government secrets in a timely manner to the Japanese military. The situation worsens as he realises that his common law wife (Nicole Kidman) has been kidnapped by the evildoers. Added to the mix you see the madcap slapstick of a sass-talking soul brother (Chris Tucker) who when kidnapped by the the bad guys says: "Wassup my niggas?" However this won't be easy because an old rival with a score to settle (Robert DiNero) has information concerning his messy criminal record. Just as our hero are setting off on their perlious mission, they poorly lapse into a sing-along of Hotel California much to the dismay of PETA . In the eleventh hour the President delivers a decree to the governments 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 FBI computer hacker watching a TV in a store window replies: "I just hope we're not too late." Coming next winter.
