The Plot... A cargo plane loaded with lethal poisonous gas has been hijacked by computer genius (Robert Vaughn). With the help of a government weapons hacker, the CIA hopes to reclaim the hijacked technologies and return them to their original owner. PETA, with the aid of Jackson Goodgood (Denzel Washington), must jet ski through the Sahara Desert to return the borrowed nuclear warheads promptly to the Japanese military. As if this wasn't enough, he has a smidge less than 12 days to do it. With the help of a leather-faced marine (Jon Voight), the good guys must ski through the jungle to deliver the borrowed CIA information safely to the Argentinian people. The situation worsens as he figures out that his high school sweetheart (Charlize Theron) has been kidnapped by the the bad guys. Also you see the madcap slapstick of a smart alec black man (Dave Chapelle) who when captured by the evildoers says: "What kinda fucked up situation is this?" All this won't be easy because a cop with a vendetta (Robert DiNero) has information about his messy criminal record. Just as the good guy are leaving on their dangerous journey, they stupidly lapse into a sing-along of Magic Carpet Ride much to the dismay of NASA . At the final moment the President delivers a decree to the governments of the world. While this moment of truth unfolds he says: "Mankind is a creature of survival. This is the dawn of a new tomorrow." A CIA chemical expert watching at home replies: "He better be right... for our sake."
