The Plot... A train loaded with government secrets has been hijacked by a former U.S. General (Anthony Quinn). With the aid of a private explosives hacker, the CIA hopes to reclaim the hijacked goods and return them to their rightful owner. NASA, with the help of Bufford Henchspeed (Ed Begely, Jr.), must skateboard through the jungle to return the pilfered nuclear warheads safely to the American military. As if it wasn't hard enough, he has only 15 weeks to do it. With the assistance of a grizzled veteran (Robert Duvall), our heroes must race through the rain forest to return the borrowed lethal poisonous gas promptly to the Japanese people. The Predicament turns sour as he realises that his 8th grade Social Studies teacher (Angelina Jolie) has been kidnapped by the evildoers. Along with this you see the screwball antics of a smart alec black man (Chris Tucker) who when captured by the evildoers says: "You are some scary ass niggas!" It will prove difficult because a cop with a vendetta (Lawrence Fishburne) has secrets pertaining to his ugly past. Just as our heroes are setting off on their dangerous mission, they stupidly all burst into a sing-along of Leavin' on a Jetplane much to the dismay of the NCRP . In the eleventh hour the President issues a decree to the governments of the world. As this moment of truth drags on he says: "When I took office, they never told me THIS would happen. This is the dawn of a new tomorrow." An NCRP weapons expert watching a TV in a store window answers this with: "I pray to God he's right." Coming next winter. This film is not yet rated.
