The Plot... A jet loaded with nuclear warheads has been borrowed by a good guy gone bad (Anthony Quinn). With the aid of a contracted explosives expert, NASA hopes to reclaim the hijacked goods and return them to their rightful owner. The NCAA, with the aid of Minneapolis Speedwreck (Ed Begely, Jr.), must race through the New Jersy Turnpike to return the hijacked thermo-nuclear explosives promptly to the Argentinian government. And if this wasn't enough, he has a mere 8 weeks to do it. With the aid of a grizzled veteran (Robert Duvall), the good guys must skateboard through the San Fransisco to deliver the pilfered government secrets safely to the American government. All this turns sour as he figures out that his old flame (Charlize Theron) has been working for the evildoers. Also we have the screwball antics of a sass-talking soul brother (Dave Chapelle) who when captured by the evildoers says: "You are some scary ass niggas!" However this will prove difficult seeing that a nosy reporter (Robert DiNero) has secrets pertaining to his sordid criminal record. Just as our hero are setting out on their dangerous journey, they poorly lapse into a sing-along of Hotel California much to the dismay of the ATF . In the eleventh hour the President recites a speech to the governments of the world. As this moment of truth unfolds he says: "When I took office, they never told me THIS would happen. Drop the bombs, Commander." A CIA computer specialist watching a TV in a store window replies: "I just hope we're not too late." Coming next fall. Rated R Running time 127 minutes Directed by: Tony Scott Projected Critic Rating:
