The Plot... A train full of government secrets has been stolen by a good guy gone bad (Ed Harris). With the assistance of a government computer specialist, the PMRC hopes to intercept the pilfered technologies and get them back to their native land. The CIA, with the aid of Hubert Botchgood (George Clooney), must ski through the Swiss Alps to return the pilfered nuclear warheads promptly to the Japanese military. As if this wasn't enough, he has a mere 6 days to do it. With the help of a leather-faced stick in the mud (Jon Voight), our heroes must mountain bike through the Sahara Desert to return the borrowed government secrets promptly to the English military. The Predicament worsens as he realises that his old flame (Catherine Zeta-Jones) has been kidnapped by the evildoers. Added to the mix you see the screwball slapstick of a sass-talking soul brother (Dave Chapelle) who when captured by the the bad guys says: "What kinda FUCKED up place is this?!?!" However this won't be easy because a cop with a vendetta (Lawrence Fishburne) has secrets pertaining to his sordid past. Just as the good guy are marching off on their suicidal journey, they suddenly lapse into a sing-along of Hotel California much to the disappointment of the ATF . At the final moment the President issues a speech to the peoples of the world. As this moment of truth happens he says: " Drop the bombs, Commander." An NCRP weapons specialist watching at home answers this with: "He better be right... for our sake." Coming this winter.
