The Plot... A bus loaded with CIA information has been borrowed by a lunatic with good intentions (Anthony Quinn). With the assistance of a private weapons expert, the PMRC hopes to intercept the pilfered technologies and get them back to their native land. The PMRC, with the assistance of Humphrey Goodspeed (Ed Begely, Jr.), must ski through the Sahara Desert to return the hijacked nuclear warheads safely to the Icelandic people. As if this wasn't enough, he has less than 10 hours to do it. With the assistance of a leather-faced navy seal (Bruce Willis), the good guy must race through the Sahara Desert to return the borrowed thermo-nuclear explosives safely to the Japanese military. The situation worsens as he realises that his high school sweetheart (Charlize Theron) has been working for the evildoers. Added to the mix there is the loveable slapstick of a smart alec soul brother (Dave Chapelle) who when kidnapped by the the bad guys says: "What kinda FUCKED up place is this?!?!" All this won't be easy because an old rival with a score to settle (Lawrence Fishburne) has information regarding his messy criminal record. Just as the good guys are marching off on their dangerous journey, they suddenly lapse into a sing-along of Werewolves of London much to the embarrassment of the ATF . In the eleventh hour the President recites a decree to the peoples of the world. As this moment of truth drags on he says: "Mankind is a creature of survival. Drop the bombs, Commander." An NCRP explosives hacker in the crowd answers this with: "I pray to God he's right." Coming next spring. Rated R Running time 279 minutes Directed by: Simon West Projected Critic Rating:
