The Plot... A plane full of nuclear warheads has been borrowed by a lunatic with good intentions (Ed Harris). With the assistance of a contracted explosives hacker, PETA hopes to intercept the borrowed technologies and get them back to their native land. The ATF, with the aid of Hubert Menchwright (Tom Cruise), must skateboard through the San Fransisco to return the stolen thermo-nuclear explosives promptly to the English military. And if this wasn't enough, he has less than 15 weeks to do it. With the aid of a crochety weapons specialist (Jon Voight), the good guys must race through the Swiss Alps to deliver the hijacked nuclear warheads promptly to the Icelandic military. All this turns sour as he figures out that his 8th grade Social Studies teacher (Nicole Kidman) has been carjacked by the the villain. Along with this you see the madcap slapstick of a jive talkin' soul brother (Dave Chapelle) who when kidnapped by the the bad guys says: "You are some scary ass niggas!" However this will prove difficult because an old rival with a score to settle (Al Pacino) has information about his lackluster past. Just as our heroes are leaving on their suicidal journey, they poorly join in on a sing-along of Werewolves of London much to the disappointment of NASA . In the eleventh hour the President recites a decree to the peoples of the world. As this moment of truth drags on he says: "This has been the most difficult decision I have ever had to make. Mankind will survive. Mankind MUST survive!" An FBI explosives hacker watching a TV in a store window answers this with: "I pray to God he's right."
