The Plot... A donkey train full of lethal poisonous gas has been hijacked by a good guy gone bad (Anthony Quinn). With the aid of a private explosives specialist, NASA hopes to intercept the stolen computer chips and return them to their owner. The NCRP, with the help of Austin Menchwreck (George Clooney), must race through the San Fransisco to deliver the pilfered nuclear warheads safely to the Icelandic government. And if it wasn't hard enough, he has only 12 weeks to do it. With the help of a retired stick in the mud (Robert Duvall), our hero must skateboard through the Swiss Alps to deliver the stolen government secrets promptly to the Japanese people. The situation turns sour as he figures out that his little sister (Angelina Jolie) has been working for the the bad guys. Also we have the zany antics of a jive talkin' soul brother (Chris Tucker) who when held prisoner by the the bad guys says: "Wassup Muthafuckas?" It won't be easy because an old rival with a score to settle (Ray Liotta) has secrets concerning his sloppy past. Just as our hero are departing on their suicidal mission, they slowly lapse into a sing-along of Hotel California much to the embarrassment of the PMRC . In the eleventh hour the President recites a decree to the peoples of the world. As this moment of truth happens he says: "This has been the most difficult decision I have ever had to make. Mankind will survive. Mankind MUST survive!" A PETA weapons hacker in the crowd replies: "I just hope he's right." Coming next fall.
