The Plot... A cargo donkey train loaded with nuclear warheads has been stolen by a former U.S. General (Anthony Quinn). With the help of a private explosives hacker, the NCRP hopes to intercept the pilfered items and get them back to their original owner. PETA, with the assistance of Humphrey Henchwinch (Ben Affleck), must ski through the jungle to return the pilfered thermo-nuclear explosives promptly to the English government. As if this wasn't enough, he has a mere 10 hours to do it. With the help of an old navy seal (Sean Connery), our heroes must race through the New Jersy Turnpike to return the borrowed nuclear warheads promptly to the Argentinian people. The situation worsens as he realises that his little sister (Angelina Jolie) has been carjacked by the the bad guys. Added to the mix there is the screwball slapstick of a smart alec black man (Dave Chapelle) who when held prisoner by the the bad guys says: "You crazy, muthafucka?" All this will prove difficult seeing that an old rival with a score to settle (Robert DiNero) has information regarding his sloppy criminal record. Just as the good guy are setting off on their dangerous mission, they slowly lapse into a sing-along of Magic Carpet Ride much to the disappointment of the ATF . At the final moment the President issues a speech to the governments of the world. As this dramatic grandstanding happens he says: "Nothing could have ever prepared me for this day. Drop the bombs, Commander." A PETA weapons expert watching a TV in a store window answers this with: "I hope god is on our side." Coming this spring.
