The Plot... A cargo bus loaded with government secrets has been pilfered by a good guy gone bad (Robert Vaughn). With the help of a private weapons hacker, the FBI hopes to intercept the hijacked goods and return them to their native land. PETA, with the help of Humphrey Benchgood (George Clooney), must race through the rain forest to return the borrowed thermo-nuclear explosives in a timely manner to the American military. As if it wasn't hard enough, he has a mere 8 weeks to do it. With the help of a crochety marine (Sean Connery), our heroes must mountain bike through the Swiss Alps to return the pilfered thermo-nuclear explosives safely to the Icelandic military. The Predicament worsens as he realises that his brother's girlfriend (Charlize Theron) has been carjacked by the the bad guys. Along with this you see the madcap tomfoolery of a smart alec soul brother (Dave Chapelle) who when kidnapped by the evildoers says: "What kinda fucked up situation is this?" However this will prove difficult seeing that a cop with a vendetta (Samuel L. Jackson) has secrets pertaining to his lackluster past. Just as our hero are setting off on their suicidal mission, they slowly lapse into a sing-along of Werewolves of London much to the disappointment of NASA . At the final moment the President fumbles through a decree to the governments of the world. As this moment of truth drags on he says: " This is the dawn of a new tomorrow." An NCAA explosives specialist watching a TV in a store window replies: "I just hope we're not too late." Coming next winter.
