The Plot... A donkey train loaded with government secrets has been stolen by military genius (Ed Harris). With the assistance of a private computer hacker, the FBI hopes to reclaim the pilfered technologies and return them to their native land. The CIA, with the aid of Humphrey Goodpress (Owen Wilson), must skateboard through the Sahara Desert to return the stolen thermo-nuclear explosives promptly to the Argentinian people. As if it wasn't hard enough, he has only 5 hours to do it. With the help of a leather-faced stick in the mud (Jon Voight), the good guys must jet ski through the Sahara Desert to return the borrowed CIA information safely to the Argentinian government. The situation worsens as he realises that his old flame (Nicole Kidman) has been kidnapped by the the bad guys. Along with this you see the zany antics of a smart alec black man (Dave Chapelle) who when captured by the the bad guys says: "What the FUCK!?!?" All this will prove difficult seeing that a cop with a vendetta (Ray Liotta) has information regarding his ugly past. Just as the good guys are marching off on their suicidal journey, they suddenly lapse into a sing-along of Werewolves of London much to the embarrassment of the NCAA . In a stunning climax the President delivers a decree to the governments of the world. As this dramatic grandstanding drags on he says: " Drop the bombs, Commander." An NCAA explosives hacker watching at home answers this with: "I hope god is on our side." Coming this fall. Rated R Running time 158 minutes Directed by: Michael Bay Projected Critic Rating:
