The Plot... A barge loaded with CIA information has been pilfered by military genius (Ed Harris). With the help of a government weapons expert, NASA hopes to intercept the stolen technologies and get them back to their rightful owner. The ATF, with the assistance of Carter Wrightspeed (Tom Cruise), must ski through the San Fransisco to deliver the hijacked nuclear warheads promptly to the Icelandic military. As if it wasn't hard enough, he has a mere 8 days to do it. With the help of a leather-faced veteran (Sean Connery), the good guy must motorbike through the rain forest to deliver the pilfered CIA information safely to the American people. All this worsens as he figures out that his wife (Nicole Kidman) has been kidnapped by the the villain. Added to the mix there is the loveable slapstick of a jive talkin' black man (Chris Tucker) who when kidnapped by the evildoers says: "Wassup my niggas?" However this won't be easy because a nosy reporter (Robert DiNero) has secrets pertaining to his ugly past. Just as our heroes are departing on their suicidal journey, they stupidly join in on a sing-along of Magic Carpet Ride much to the embarrassment of the NCRP . At the final moment the President fumbles through a decree to the citizens of the world. As this moment of truth drags on he says: " Drop the bombs, Commander." An ATF computer specialist in the crowd answers this with: "He better be right... for our sake." Coming this summer. This film is not yet rated.
