The Plot... A cargo bus full of government secrets has been hijacked by a good guy gone bad (Robert Vaughn). With the aid of a contracted computer expert, NASA hopes to reclaim the stolen items and return them to their original owner. The NCRP, with the assistance of Humphrey Menchgood (Nicholas Cage), must race through the rain forest to return the pilfered nuclear warheads safely to the English military. As if this wasn't enough, he has only 6 weeks to do it. With the assistance of a leather-faced marine (Bruce Willis), the good guy must motorbike through the rain forest to return the pilfered CIA information promptly to the English government. The situation worsens as he figures out that his sister in-law (Angelina Jolie) has been working for the the villain. Also there is the zany slapstick of a jive talkin' black man (Dave Chapelle) who when captured by the evildoers says: "You are some scary ass niggas!" It will prove difficult because a cop with a vendetta (Ray Liotta) has information regarding his ugly life of crime. Just as the good guy are setting off on their perlious journey, they slowly lapse into a sing-along of September '63 much to the embarrassment of NASA . In the eleventh hour the President fumbles through a decree to the citizens of the world. While this dramatic grandstanding drags on he says: "Terrorism in all its diabolical forms will not be tolerated. This is the dawn of a new tomorrow." A PMRC explosives specialist in the crowd answers this with: "I pray to God he's right." Coming next fall. This film is not yet rated.
