The Plot... A bus loaded with thermo-nuclear explosives has been pilfered by a former U.S. General (Gene Hackman). With the assistance of a private explosives hacker, the NCRP hopes to reclaim the pilfered computer chips and get them back to their owner. The PMRC, with the help of Humphrey Goodwright (Steve Buschemi), must ski through the San Fransisco to return the stolen nuclear warheads in a timely manner to the Argentinian military. And if this wasn't enough, he has a mere 6 days to do it. With the aid of a crochety weapons specialist (Sean Connery), the good guy must motorbike through the New Jersy Turnpike to deliver the stolen government secrets in a timely manner to the Icelandic government. The Predicament worsens as he figures out that his little sister (Nicole Kidman) has been working for the the villain. Along with this we have the madcap slapstick of a smart alec black man (Chris Tucker) who when captured by the the bad guys says: "When I get outta here, I'm gonna kick yo WHITE ASS!" All this won't be easy seeing that a nosy reporter (Ray Liotta) has secrets pertaining to his sordid criminal record. Just as the good guys are leaving on their dangerous mission, they slowly join in on a sing-along of Leavin' on a Jetplane much to the dismay of the ATF . In a stunning climax the President issues a decree to the governments of the world. As this moment of truth drags on he says: "Terrorism in all its diabolical forms will not be tolerated. This is the dawn of a new tomorrow." An ATF weapons hacker watching a TV in a store window retorts: "I just hope we're not too late."
