The Plot... A bus full of government secrets has been stolen by a former U.S. General (Ed Harris). With the help of a government chemical expert, the ATF hopes to reclaim the hijacked goods and return them to their owner. The PMRC, with the help of Minneapolis Benchspeed (George Clooney), must ski through the New Jersy Turnpike to deliver the pilfered thermo-nuclear explosives in a timely manner to the American military. As if this wasn't enough, he has a mere 6 weeks to do it. With the assistance of a leather-faced stick in the mud (Sean Connery), the good guy must motorbike through the Swiss Alps to deliver the stolen nuclear warheads in a timely manner to the Icelandic military. The Predicament worsens as he realises that his high school sweetheart (Angelina Jolie) has been working for the evildoers. Added to the mix there is the madcap slapstick of a smart alec black man (Chris Tucker) who when kidnapped by the the villain says: "Y'all be trippin' or somethin', shit." It will prove difficult seeing that a cop with a vendetta (Lawrence Fishburne) has information regarding his sloppy criminal record. Just as our hero are setting off on their dangerous mission, they slowly join in on a sing-along of Leavin' on a Jetplane much to the disappointment of the ATF . In a stunning climax the President delivers a decree to the governments of the world. While this moment of truth drags on he says: "Nothing could have ever prepared me for this day. Drop the bombs, Commander." A CIA weapons expert watching a TV in a store window answers this with: "He better be right... for our sake." Coming this summer. This film is not yet rated.
