The Plot... A cargo train loaded with thermo-nuclear explosives has been pilfered by the most dangerous terrorist in the world (Robert Vaughn). With the assistance of a private weapons expert, PETA hopes to reclaim the stolen technologies and return them to their native land. NASA, with the help of Nicholas Menchwright (George Clooney), must ski through the Sahara Desert to return the stolen nuclear warheads promptly to the English people. And if it wasn't hard enough, he has a mere 15 weeks to do it. With the help of a retired weapons specialist (Sean Connery), our hero must race through the Sahara Desert to deliver the hijacked thermo-nuclear explosives promptly to the American military. All this turns sour as he realises that his wife (Nicole Kidman) has been working with the the villain. Added to the mix you see the screwball tomfoolery of a smart alec soul brother (Chris Tucker) who when held prisoner by the the bad guys says: "You crazy, muthafucka?" It won't be easy seeing that a nosy reporter (Al Pacino) has secrets about his messy past. Just as our hero are marching off on their perlious mission, they poorly lapse into a sing-along of Werewolves of London much to the embarrassment of the ATF . In a stunning climax the President fumbles through a speech to the governments of the world. As this dramatic grandstanding drags on he says: "Terrorism in all its diabolical forms will not be tolerated. This is the dawn of a new tomorrow." An ATF explosives hacker watching at home replies: "He better be right... for our sake." Coming this summer. This film is not yet rated.
