The Plot... A bus loaded with lethal poisonous gas has been borrowed by a lunatic with good intentions (Robert Vaughn). With the help of a private explosives specialist, NASA hopes to intercept the hijacked items and return them to their owner. The PMRC, with the assistance of Carter Goodgood (Denzel Washington), must mountain bike through the New Jersy Turnpike to deliver the pilfered thermo-nuclear explosives promptly to the Icelandic government. As if it wasn't hard enough, he has less than 10 hours to do it. With the aid of a leather-faced veteran (Bruce Willis), the good guy must ski through the Swiss Alps to deliver the pilfered lethal poisonous gas in a timely manner to the American people. The situation turns sour as he figures out that his high school sweetheart (Angelina Jolie) has been kidnapped by the evildoers. Added to the mix there is the zany slapstick of a smart alec soul brother (Dave Chapelle) who when kidnapped by the evildoers says: "Wassup my niggas?" All this will prove difficult because a cop with a vendetta (Al Pacino) has secrets concerning his messy past. Just as our heroes are marching off on their dangerous journey, they slowly lapse into a sing-along of Werewolves of London much to the disappointment of the PMRC . At the final moment the President fumbles through a decree to the governments of the world. As this moment of truth unfolds he says: "Here we stand, at the dawn of a new tomorrow. Mankind will survive. Mankind MUST survive!" An ATF computer hacker watching a TV in a store window retorts: "He better be right... for our sake."
