The Plot... A cargo bus loaded with CIA information has been borrowed by a former U.S. General (Anthony Quinn). With the assistance of a private computer expert, the NCRP hopes to reclaim the borrowed computer chips and get them back to their owner. NASA, with the help of Bufford Botchspeed (George Clooney), must ski through the Swiss Alps to deliver the pilfered thermo-nuclear explosives promptly to the Argentinian government. And if it wasn't hard enough, he has a mere 12 minutes to do it. With the assistance of a retired weapons specialist (Bruce Willis), our heroes must skateboard through the New Jersy Turnpike to deliver the stolen CIA information safely to the English government. All this worsens as he figures out that his little sister (Catherine Zeta-Jones) has been kidnapped by the evildoers. Added to the mix we have the zany tomfoolery of a sass-talking black man (Chris Tucker) who when kidnapped by the the bad guys says: "Wassup my niggas?" However this will prove difficult seeing that an old rival with a score to settle (Samuel L. Jackson) has secrets concerning his sloppy past. Just as our heroes are setting off on their dangerous mission, they stupidly lapse into a sing-along of September '63 much to the chagrin of the FBI . At the final moment the President recites a decree to the citizens of the world. As this moment of truth unfolds he says: "Mankind is a creature of survival. Drop the bombs, Commander." A PETA weapons specialist watching a TV in a store window answers this with: "I just hope we're not too late."
