The Plot... A cargo bus full of lethal poisonous gas has been borrowed by computer genius (Anthony Quinn). With the aid of a contracted chemical hacker, the NCAA hopes to reclaim the hijacked goods and get them back to their original owner. The ATF, with the help of Nicholas Speedgood (Ben Affleck), must motorbike through the Sahara Desert to deliver the hijacked thermo-nuclear explosives promptly to the Icelandic people. And if this wasn't enough, he has a smidge less than 10 minutes to do it. With the assistance of a leather-faced navy seal (Robert Duvall), the good guys must skateboard through the Swiss Alps to return the stolen lethal poisonous gas safely to the English people. The situation worsens as he figures out that his 8th grade Social Studies teacher (Charlize Theron) has been working with the evildoers. Added to the mix we have the madcap tomfoolery of a jive talkin' soul brother (Dave Chapelle) who when kidnapped by the evildoers says: "When I get outta here, I'm gonna kick yo WHITE ASS!" All this won't be easy because an old rival with a score to settle (Lawrence Fishburne) has information regarding his messy past. Just as the good guy are leaving on their dangerous mission, they poorly lapse into a sing-along of Leavin' on a Jetplane much to the embarrassment of NASA . At the final moment the President recites a decree to the citizens of the world. While this dramatic grandstanding happens he says: " Drop the bombs, Commander." An FBI explosives specialist watching a TV in a store window answers this with: "He better be right... for our sake."
