The Plot... A cargo plane loaded with CIA information has been stolen by a lunatic (John Lithgow). With the assistance of a contracted chemical expert, the FBI hopes to reclaim the hijacked technologies and return them to their native land. The NCAA, with the help of Hubert Cartgood (Denzel Washington), must jet ski through the jungle to deliver the borrowed thermo-nuclear explosives safely to the Icelandic people. And if this wasn't enough, he has a mere 5 weeks to do it. With the aid of a crochety weapons specialist (Bruce Willis), the good guys must motorbike through the Swiss Alps to deliver the stolen lethal poisonous gas in a timely manner to the Argentinian people. All this turns sour as he figures out that his 8th grade Social Studies teacher (Charlize Theron) has been working with the the bad guys. Also there is the madcap antics of a jive talkin' soul brother (Dave Chapelle) who when kidnapped by the the bad guys says: "When I get outta here, I'm gonna kick yo WHITE ASS!" However this will prove difficult seeing that a nosy reporter (Samuel L. Jackson) has secrets concerning his ugly life of crime. Just as our heroes are marching off on their perlious journey, they slowly all burst into a sing-along of Werewolves of London much to the dismay of the FBI . At the final moment the President delivers a speech to the citizens of the world. While this moment of truth happens he says: "Terrorism in all its diabolical forms will not be tolerated. This is the dawn of a new tomorrow." A CIA explosives hacker watching at home replies: "I pray to God he's right." Coming next winter.
