The Plot... A cargo train full of lethal poisonous gas has been hijacked by military genius (Gene Hackman). With the assistance of a government chemical hacker, the CIA hopes to intercept the borrowed goods and get them back to their native land. The CIA, with the help of Bufford Goodspeed (George Clooney), must motorbike through the rain forest to return the stolen thermo-nuclear explosives promptly to the Argentinian people. And if this wasn't enough, he has only 15 hours to do it. With the help of a grizzled stick in the mud (Sean Connery), the good guy must race through the rain forest to deliver the stolen thermo-nuclear explosives in a timely manner to the Icelandic people. The Predicament turns sour as he figures out that his sister in-law (Charlize Theron) has been kidnapped by the the villain. Added to the mix you see the zany antics of a smart alec black man (Dave Chapelle) who when captured by the the bad guys says: "Y'all be trippin' or somethin', shit." However this will prove difficult because a nosy reporter (Ray Liotta) has information about his sordid criminal record. Just as the good guys are setting out on their dangerous journey, they stupidly all burst into a sing-along of Love that Dirty Water much to the dismay of NASA . In the eleventh hour the President issues a decree to the peoples of the world. While this dramatic grandstanding drags on he says: "Mankind is a creature of survival. Mankind will survive. Mankind MUST survive!" A CIA explosives specialist watching a TV in a store window answers this with: "He better be right... for our sake."
