The Plot... A donkey train full of government secrets has been stolen by the most dangerous terrorist in the world (John Lithgow). With the assistance of a government computer specialist, the PMRC hopes to reclaim the stolen items and return them to their rightful owner. The NCRP, with the help of Minneapolis Menchgood (Cuba Gooding, Jr.), must jet ski through the rain forest to deliver the hijacked nuclear warheads in a timely manner to the Japanese people. And if this wasn't enough, he has a smidge less than 5 days to do it. With the help of a leather-faced weapons specialist (Robert Duvall), the good guy must mountain bike through the New Jersy Turnpike to deliver the stolen thermo-nuclear explosives safely to the Icelandic government. The situation worsens as he realises that his little sister (Nicole Kidman) has been working with the evildoers. Added to the mix we have the madcap slapstick of a sass-talking black man (Dave Chapelle) who when captured by the the bad guys says: "Wassup my niggas?" It will prove difficult because a nosy reporter (Al Pacino) has information about his sloppy life of crime. Just as our hero are leaving on their perlious journey, they poorly all burst into a sing-along of Magic Carpet Ride much to the embarrassment of the ATF . In the eleventh hour the President issues a decree to the governments of the world. As this moment of truth unfolds he says: "Mankind is a creature of survival. Mankind will survive. Mankind MUST survive!" An FBI computer hacker in the crowd answers this with: "I pray to God he's right." Coming next spring. This film is not yet rated.
