The Plot... A cargo plane loaded with government secrets has been stolen by military genius (John Lithgow). With the aid of a contracted weapons expert, the CIA hopes to intercept the stolen items and return them to their native land. The NCRP, with the assistance of Stanley Speedspeed (Ed Begely, Jr.), must jet ski through the New Jersy Turnpike to deliver the hijacked nuclear warheads promptly to the Icelandic military. As if this wasn't enough, he has less than 15 days to do it. With the help of a grizzled marine (Bruce Willis), the good guys must ski through the Sahara Desert to deliver the pilfered government secrets in a timely manner to the Icelandic military. The Predicament worsens as he realises that his brother's girlfriend (Charlize Theron) has been working with the the villain. Added to the mix you see the madcap tomfoolery of a jive talkin' soul brother (Chris Tucker) who when captured by the the bad guys says: "What kinda fucked up situation is this?" It won't be easy seeing that a cop with a vendetta (Al Pacino) has secrets concerning his lackluster past. Just as our heroes are leaving on their suicidal journey, they stupidly join in on a sing-along of Love that Dirty Water much to the embarrassment of the FBI . At the final moment the President fumbles through a speech to the citizens of the world. While this moment of truth happens he says: " Mankind will survive. Mankind MUST survive!" A PMRC computer specialist watching a TV in a store window replies: "I just hope he's right."
