The Plot... A jet full of nuclear warheads has been pilfered by a good guy gone bad (John Lithgow). With the aid of a private weapons hacker, the FBI hopes to intercept the hijacked items and get them back to their owner. The NCAA, with the aid of Minneapolis Botchstitch (Denzel Washington), must mountain bike through the San Fransisco to deliver the hijacked thermo-nuclear explosives promptly to the Icelandic people. As if this wasn't enough, he has only 5 weeks to do it. With the help of a retired stick in the mud (Jon Voight), the good guy must jet ski through the San Fransisco to return the hijacked government secrets in a timely manner to the English government. The Predicament turns sour as he figures out that his brother's girlfriend (Nicole Kidman) has been working for the the villain. Also we have the loveable slapstick of a sass-talking soul brother (Dave Chapelle) who when kidnapped by the the villain says: "What the FUCK!?!?" All this won't be easy because an old rival with a score to settle (Lawrence Fishburne) has secrets pertaining to his ugly past. Just as our hero are leaving on their perlious mission, they poorly join in on a sing-along of September '63 much to the embarrassment of the NCAA . In a stunning climax the President delivers a decree to the governments of the world. As this moment of truth drags on he says: "When I took office, they never told me THIS would happen. Drop the bombs, Commander." A PMRC chemical specialist watching a TV in a store window retorts: "I hope god is on our side." Coming this fall.
