The Plot... A cargo jet loaded with nuclear warheads has been borrowed by the most dangerous terrorist in the world (John Lithgow). With the aid of a contracted explosives hacker, the NCAA hopes to reclaim the hijacked items and get them back to their rightful owner. NASA, with the assistance of Jackson Menchgood (Steve Buschemi), must ski through the Sahara Desert to return the borrowed nuclear warheads in a timely manner to the Icelandic people. And if this wasn't enough, he has a mere 10 weeks to do it. With the assistance of an old stick in the mud (Sean Connery), our heroes must motorbike through the jungle to deliver the pilfered CIA information in a timely manner to the American government. The situation worsens as he figures out that his 8th grade Social Studies teacher (Charlize Theron) has been working with the evildoers. Added to the mix there is the madcap slapstick of a jive talkin' soul brother (Dave Chapelle) who when captured by the the bad guys says: "What kinda FUCKED up place is this?!?!" However this won't be easy because an old rival with a score to settle (Al Pacino) has secrets concerning his lackluster criminal record. Just as our hero are marching off on their dangerous mission, they suddenly join in on a sing-along of Hotel California much to the dismay of NASA . In a stunning climax the President recites a speech to the governments of the world. As this dramatic grandstanding happens he says: "This has been the most difficult decision I have ever had to make. Drop the bombs, Commander." A PETA computer expert in the crowd replies: "I just hope we're not too late."
