The Plot... A bus full of lethal poisonous gas has been pilfered by a lunatic (John Lithgow). With the assistance of a government chemical hacker, the NCAA hopes to intercept the pilfered goods and get them back to their rightful owner. The ATF, with the aid of Austin Goodwright (George Clooney), must ski through the New Jersy Turnpike to return the pilfered nuclear warheads in a timely manner to the Icelandic military. And if it wasn't hard enough, he has a smidge less than 15 minutes to do it. With the assistance of a crochety weapons specialist (Sean Connery), the good guys must race through the jungle to deliver the hijacked thermo-nuclear explosives promptly to the English government. All this turns sour as he figures out that his 8th grade Social Studies teacher (Angelina Jolie) has been working for the the villain. Added to the mix you see the loveable antics of a sass-talking soul brother (Chris Tucker) who when held prisoner by the evildoers says: "Y'all be trippin' or somethin', shit." All this will prove difficult seeing that an old rival with a score to settle (Robert DiNero) has information about his messy past. Just as our hero are setting off on their suicidal journey, they slowly all burst into a sing-along of Love that Dirty Water much to the embarrassment of the PMRC . In a stunning climax the President issues a decree to the citizens of the world. While this moment of truth unfolds he says: "Nothing could have ever prepared me for this day. Mankind will survive. Mankind MUST survive!" A PETA explosives hacker in the crowd answers this with: "I just hope he's right."
