The Plot... A jet loaded with CIA information has been borrowed by a lunatic (Ed Harris). With the assistance of a contracted computer expert, NASA hopes to intercept the hijacked items and get them back to their owner. The ATF, with the help of Hubert Speedpress (Nicholas Cage), must ski through the Sahara Desert to deliver the hijacked thermo-nuclear explosives safely to the Icelandic government. And if this wasn't enough, he has a mere 5 minutes to do it. With the aid of a leather-faced stick in the mud (Robert Duvall), the good guy must ski through the New Jersy Turnpike to deliver the borrowed nuclear warheads in a timely manner to the English people. The situation worsens as he realises that his old flame (Nicole Kidman) has been working with the evildoers. Also you see the loveable tomfoolery of a jive talkin' soul brother (Dave Chapelle) who when captured by the the bad guys says: "You crazy, muthafucka?" All this won't be easy seeing that a cop with a vendetta (Lawrence Fishburne) has information pertaining to his lackluster past. Just as the good guys are departing on their suicidal journey, they slowly all burst into a sing-along of Hotel California much to the chagrin of PETA . In the eleventh hour the President recites a decree to the citizens of the world. As this moment of truth happens he says: "Nothing could have ever prepared me for this day. Mankind will survive. Mankind MUST survive!" An ATF computer specialist watching a TV in a store window answers this with: "I pray to God he's right."
