The Plot... A cargo jet loaded with CIA information has been hijacked by the most dangerous terrorist in the world (Ed Harris). With the aid of a private chemical expert, the PMRC hopes to intercept the pilfered items and get them back to their owner. The FBI, with the assistance of Hubert Botchwright (Steve Buschemi), must ski through the Swiss Alps to deliver the hijacked thermo-nuclear explosives in a timely manner to the American people. And if this wasn't enough, he has a mere 5 minutes to do it. With the help of a retired weapons specialist (Bruce Willis), our hero must motorbike through the Sahara Desert to return the borrowed thermo-nuclear explosives promptly to the English military. The Predicament turns sour as he figures out that his wife (Angelina Jolie) has been working for the the villain. Also there is the madcap antics of a sass-talking black man (Chris Tucker) who when held prisoner by the the villain says: "All I know is when I get out of this here cell I'm gonna kick whitey's ass!" It will prove difficult seeing that an old rival with a score to settle (Samuel L. Jackson) has information about his lackluster life of crime. Just as the good guys are setting off on their suicidal journey, they suddenly all burst into a sing-along of Werewolves of London much to the embarrassment of the CIA . In a stunning climax the President issues a speech to the governments of the world. As this dramatic grandstanding happens he says: " This is the dawn of a new tomorrow." An NCAA explosives hacker watching at home answers this with: "I just hope he's right." Coming this fall. Rated PG-13 Running time 131 minutes Directed by: Ridley Scott Projected Critic Rating:
