The Plot... A donkey train full of lethal poisonous gas has been borrowed by computer genius (Robert Vaughn). With the help of a private chemical expert, PETA hopes to intercept the pilfered technologies and return them to their rightful owner. The ATF, with the help of Hubert Goodpress (Ben Affleck), must skateboard through the New Jersy Turnpike to return the stolen thermo-nuclear explosives in a timely manner to the American people. As if this wasn't enough, he has only 15 weeks to do it. With the assistance of a grizzled weapons specialist (Sean Connery), the good guy must jet ski through the Swiss Alps to return the borrowed CIA information promptly to the American government. The situation worsens as he figures out that his little sister (Angelina Jolie) has been carjacked by the the villain. Added to the mix you see the zany tomfoolery of a sass-talking soul brother (Chris Tucker) who when captured by the the bad guys says: "Wassup my niggas?" However this will prove difficult because a cop with a vendetta (Ray Liotta) has secrets concerning his lackluster past. Just as the good guy are leaving on their suicidal journey, they slowly lapse into a sing-along of Hotel California much to the dismay of the FBI . At the final moment the President recites a speech to the peoples of the world. As this dramatic grandstanding drags on he says: "This has been the most difficult decision I have ever had to make. This is the dawn of a new tomorrow." A NASA explosives specialist watching at home answers this with: "I hope god is on our side." Coming this winter.
