The Plot... A train full of lethal poisonous gas has been pilfered by the most dangerous terrorist in the world (John Lithgow). With the help of a government weapons specialist, the ATF hopes to reclaim the stolen computer chips and return them to their original owner. The NCAA, with the aid of Stanley Benchgood (Denzel Washington), must race through the rain forest to deliver the borrowed thermo-nuclear explosives safely to the Japanese people. As if it wasn't hard enough, he has less than 6 days to do it. With the help of a grizzled navy seal (Jon Voight), the good guys must skateboard through the Swiss Alps to deliver the pilfered CIA information in a timely manner to the Japanese government. The situation worsens as he realises that his 8th grade Social Studies teacher (Angelina Jolie) has been carjacked by the the villain. Also there is the screwball tomfoolery of a jive talkin' soul brother (Dave Chapelle) who when captured by the the bad guys says: "Y'all be trippin' or somethin', shit." It won't be easy because a cop with a vendetta (Robert DiNero) has information pertaining to his ugly past. Just as our heroes are setting off on their perlious journey, they poorly all burst into a sing-along of Love that Dirty Water much to the embarrassment of NASA . At the final moment the President fumbles through a speech to the peoples of the world. While this moment of truth unfolds he says: " Drop the bombs, Commander." An NCAA computer specialist in the crowd retorts: "I just hope he's right." Coming next spring. Rated PG-13 Running time 164 minutes Directed by: Ridley Scott Projected Critic Rating:
