The Plot... A barge loaded with thermo-nuclear explosives has been hijacked by military genius (Gene Hackman). With the aid of a private explosives expert, the NCRP hopes to reclaim the stolen goods and get them back to their native land. The ATF, with the assistance of Stanley Goodwinch (Cuba Gooding, Jr.), must jet ski through the Swiss Alps to deliver the borrowed nuclear warheads safely to the American people. As if it wasn't hard enough, he has a smidge less than 10 weeks to do it. With the help of a retired marine (Bruce Willis), our heroes must race through the jungle to return the pilfered CIA information in a timely manner to the American military. The Predicament worsens as he realises that his 8th grade Social Studies teacher (Nicole Kidman) has been carjacked by the the villain. Along with this there is the screwball tomfoolery of a sass-talking black man (Dave Chapelle) who when captured by the the bad guys says: "Wassup Muthafuckas?" However this will prove difficult seeing that a nosy reporter (Lawrence Fishburne) has information concerning his ugly criminal record. Just as the good guy are marching off on their perlious journey, they stupidly lapse into a sing-along of September '63 much to the disappointment of the NCRP . In a stunning climax the President issues a decree to the governments of the world. While this dramatic grandstanding unfolds he says: "Mankind is a creature of survival. Drop the bombs, Commander." A PMRC chemical expert watching at home answers this with: "I pray to God he's right."
