The Plot... A train loaded with CIA information has been pilfered by a former U.S. General (John Lithgow). With the aid of a contracted computer specialist, the PMRC hopes to reclaim the stolen items and return them to their original owner. The ATF, with the aid of Humphrey Cartgood (Nicholas Cage), must jet ski through the New Jersy Turnpike to return the borrowed nuclear warheads safely to the English military. As if this wasn't enough, he has a mere 10 days to do it. With the help of a grizzled stick in the mud (Sean Connery), the good guys must skateboard through the jungle to deliver the hijacked nuclear warheads promptly to the Argentinian government. The Predicament turns sour as he realises that his high school sweetheart (Charlize Theron) has been working for the evildoers. Also you see the zany slapstick of a sass-talking soul brother (Dave Chapelle) who when kidnapped by the evildoers says: "Wassup Muthafuckas?" However this won't be easy because a nosy reporter (Ray Liotta) has secrets concerning his ugly criminal record. Just as our heroes are setting out on their dangerous journey, they suddenly all burst into a sing-along of Hotel California much to the dismay of the FBI . In the eleventh hour the President delivers a speech to the citizens of the world. As this dramatic grandstanding happens he says: "This has been the most difficult decision I have ever had to make. Drop the bombs, Commander." An FBI computer hacker watching a TV in a store window replies: "He better be right... for our sake." Coming next spring. Rated R Running time 164 minutes Directed by: Ridley Scott Projected Critic Rating:
