The Plot... A cargo donkey train loaded with CIA information has been borrowed by a lunatic with good intentions (Anthony Quinn). With the assistance of a private chemical expert, the NCAA hopes to intercept the borrowed technologies and return them to their owner. NASA, with the assistance of Humphrey Cartspeed (Denzel Washington), must jet ski through the Sahara Desert to return the borrowed thermo-nuclear explosives in a timely manner to the Japanese military. And if this wasn't enough, he has only 6 hours to do it. With the help of a grizzled marine (Sean Connery), our heroes must skateboard through the Swiss Alps to return the pilfered lethal poisonous gas promptly to the English people. All this worsens as he figures out that his brother's girlfriend (Nicole Kidman) has been kidnapped by the the bad guys. Also you see the loveable slapstick of a smart alec black man (Chris Tucker) who when held prisoner by the evildoers says: "Y'all be trippin' or somethin', shit." It will prove difficult because a cop with a vendetta (Al Pacino) has information about his lackluster life of crime. Just as the good guys are setting off on their dangerous journey, they poorly join in on a sing-along of Leavin' on a Jetplane much to the embarrassment of NASA . In the eleventh hour the President fumbles through a speech to the peoples of the world. While this dramatic grandstanding unfolds he says: "Mankind is a creature of survival. This is the dawn of a new tomorrow." An NCRP computer hacker in the crowd retorts: "I pray to God he's right." Coming this summer. This film is not yet rated.
