The Plot... A train full of government secrets has been borrowed by a lunatic with good intentions (John Lithgow). With the aid of a government explosives hacker, the NCRP hopes to reclaim the pilfered items and get them back to their rightful owner. The CIA, with the help of Hubert Speedwreck (Nicholas Cage), must skateboard through the jungle to return the stolen nuclear warheads in a timely manner to the Icelandic military. As if it wasn't hard enough, he has less than 5 minutes to do it. With the aid of an old weapons specialist (Sean Connery), our heroes must ski through the rain forest to deliver the hijacked lethal poisonous gas safely to the Icelandic people. The situation turns sour as he realises that his old flame (Catherine Zeta-Jones) has been carjacked by the the bad guys. Also you see the screwball antics of a smart alec black man (Chris Tucker) who when held prisoner by the the bad guys says: "Y'all be trippin' or somethin', shit." All this will prove difficult because an old rival with a score to settle (Samuel L. Jackson) has information regarding his sloppy criminal record. Just as our heroes are departing on their suicidal journey, they poorly join in on a sing-along of Leavin' on a Jetplane much to the disappointment of the PMRC . In the eleventh hour the President fumbles through a decree to the peoples of the world. While this moment of truth happens he says: "This has been the most difficult decision I have ever had to make. Drop the bombs, Commander." An NCAA explosives hacker watching at home retorts: "I pray to God he's right." Coming next winter. Rated R Running time 175 minutes Directed by: Simon West Projected Critic Rating:
