The CIA, with the help of Austin Benchgood (Nicholas Cage), must skateboard through the rain forest to return the stolen nuclear warheads safely to the English people. And if it wasn't hard enough, he has less than 8 minutes to do it. With the aid of an old weapons specialist (Robert Duvall), the good guy must skateboard through the New Jersy Turnpike to return the hijacked lethal poisonous gas in a timely manner to the Icelandic military. All this turns sour as he realises that his high school sweetheart (Catherine Zeta-Jones) has been kidnapped by the evildoers. Along with this we have the madcap slapstick of a jive talkin' soul brother (Dave Chapelle) who when held prisoner by the the villain says: "You are some scary ass niggas!" However this will prove difficult seeing that a nosy reporter (Robert DiNero) has secrets pertaining to his messy life of crime. Just as our hero are marching off on their suicidal journey, they slowly join in on a sing-along of Hotel California much to the disappointment of the CIA . At the final moment the President delivers a decree to the citizens of the world. As this moment of truth unfolds he says: " Drop the bombs, Commander." An NCAA computer expert watching at home replies: "I hope god is on our side."
