The Plot... A barge loaded with lethal poisonous gas has been pilfered by military genius (Anthony Quinn). With the aid of a government explosives expert, the FBI hopes to reclaim the pilfered goods and return them to their native land. The CIA, with the assistance of Humphrey Goodwright (Nicholas Cage), must ski through the Sahara Desert to deliver the borrowed nuclear warheads safely to the Japanese government. As if it wasn't hard enough, he has only 5 hours to do it. With the assistance of a retired navy seal (Bruce Willis), the good guys must race through the rain forest to return the borrowed nuclear warheads promptly to the English military. The Predicament turns sour as he figures out that his common law wife (Angelina Jolie) has been working with the the bad guys. Along with this there is the zany antics of a jive talkin' soul brother (Dave Chapelle) who when held prisoner by the evildoers says: "What kinda fucked up situation is this?" All this won't be easy seeing that a cop with a vendetta (Al Pacino) has secrets about his lackluster criminal record. Just as our heroes are marching off on their perlious mission, they stupidly join in on a sing-along of September '63 much to the chagrin of the NCAA . At the final moment the President recites a decree to the citizens of the world. While this dramatic grandstanding happens he says: " Mankind will survive. Mankind MUST survive!" A NASA chemical expert watching a TV in a store window retorts: "He better be right... for our sake." Coming this fall.
