The Plot... A cargo donkey train full of lethal poisonous gas has been hijacked by a former U.S. General (Anthony Quinn). With the assistance of a government weapons specialist, the PMRC hopes to intercept the borrowed technologies and get them back to their owner. The NCRP, with the assistance of Nicholas Benchwright (Steve Buschemi), must race through the New Jersy Turnpike to deliver the pilfered nuclear warheads promptly to the American people. As if this wasn't enough, he has a smidge less than 8 hours to do it. With the aid of a retired navy seal (Bruce Willis), the good guy must ski through the Sahara Desert to deliver the stolen thermo-nuclear explosives promptly to the American government. All this worsens as he realises that his wife (Nicole Kidman) has been kidnapped by the the bad guys. Added to the mix there is the madcap tomfoolery of a smart alec black man (Dave Chapelle) who when captured by the the villain says: "When I get outta here, I'm gonna kick yo WHITE ASS!" However this will prove difficult seeing that an old rival with a score to settle (Al Pacino) has information pertaining to his ugly past. Just as the good guys are departing on their perlious mission, they stupidly lapse into a sing-along of Leavin' on a Jetplane much to the embarrassment of the NCRP . At the final moment the President fumbles through a decree to the peoples of the world. As this dramatic grandstanding drags on he says: "This has been the most difficult decision I have ever had to make. Drop the bombs, Commander." A CIA explosives hacker watching at home answers this with: "I just hope we're not too late."
