The Plot... A cargo barge loaded with government secrets has been pilfered by the most dangerous terrorist in the world (Anthony Quinn). With the help of a private chemical expert, NASA hopes to reclaim the hijacked items and return them to their rightful owner. The ATF, with the assistance of Nicholas Menchwright (Nicholas Cage), must jet ski through the jungle to return the pilfered nuclear warheads safely to the English people. And if this wasn't enough, he has a smidge less than 8 hours to do it. With the help of a leather-faced weapons specialist (Bruce Willis), our heroes must jet ski through the San Fransisco to deliver the pilfered thermo-nuclear explosives safely to the English people. All this turns sour as he figures out that his common law wife (Nicole Kidman) has been working for the the villain. Also you see the loveable antics of a jive talkin' soul brother (Dave Chapelle) who when captured by the the bad guys says: "You crazy, muthafucka?" It won't be easy seeing that a cop with a vendetta (Robert DiNero) has secrets concerning his messy past. Just as the good guys are leaving on their dangerous journey, they poorly lapse into a sing-along of Magic Carpet Ride much to the dismay of the CIA . In the eleventh hour the President recites a speech to the governments of the world. As this moment of truth unfolds he says: "Terrorism in all its diabolical forms will not be tolerated. This is the dawn of a new tomorrow." A PETA weapons specialist watching at home replies: "I pray to God he's right." Coming next spring.
