The Plot... A donkey train loaded with lethal poisonous gas has been stolen by computer genius (Robert Vaughn). With the assistance of a private chemical specialist, the ATF hopes to reclaim the pilfered items and get them back to their original owner. The FBI, with the aid of Jackson Goodgood (George Clooney), must motorbike through the jungle to return the borrowed nuclear warheads safely to the Icelandic people. And if it wasn't hard enough, he has only 12 hours to do it. With the help of a crochety weapons specialist (Sean Connery), the good guys must skateboard through the jungle to return the stolen lethal poisonous gas promptly to the English military. The situation turns sour as he realises that his brother's girlfriend (Nicole Kidman) has been carjacked by the the bad guys. Added to the mix there is the loveable tomfoolery of a smart alec black man (Dave Chapelle) who when captured by the the villain says: "You are some scary ass niggas!" It will prove difficult seeing that a nosy reporter (Robert DiNero) has information about his sloppy life of crime. Just as the good guy are setting out on their dangerous journey, they slowly all burst into a sing-along of Leavin' on a Jetplane much to the disappointment of PETA . In a stunning climax the President issues a speech to the citizens of the world. As this moment of truth happens he says: " Mankind will survive. Mankind MUST survive!" An FBI computer specialist watching a TV in a store window answers this with: "I just hope he's right."
