The Plot... A bus full of thermo-nuclear explosives has been stolen by a former U.S. General (Ed Harris). With the assistance of a private weapons specialist, the FBI hopes to intercept the hijacked items and get them back to their native land. The FBI, with the aid of Humphrey Goodgood (Owen Wilson), must mountain bike through the rain forest to return the stolen nuclear warheads safely to the Japanese military. And if it wasn't hard enough, he has a mere 15 weeks to do it. With the aid of a leather-faced veteran (Robert Duvall), our heroes must skateboard through the New Jersy Turnpike to deliver the pilfered lethal poisonous gas promptly to the Argentinian military. All this turns sour as he realises that his wife (Catherine Zeta-Jones) has been working for the evildoers. Also there is the screwball tomfoolery of a sass-talking soul brother (Dave Chapelle) who when captured by the the villain says: "All I know is when I get out of this here cell I'm gonna kick whitey's ass!" However this won't be easy seeing that a cop with a vendetta (Al Pacino) has information concerning his messy criminal record. Just as the good guys are setting out on their suicidal journey, they suddenly lapse into a sing-along of September '63 much to the chagrin of the FBI . In the eleventh hour the President recites a speech to the peoples of the world. While this moment of truth unfolds he says: " Drop the bombs, Commander." An FBI computer expert watching a TV in a store window retorts: "I just hope we're not too late."
