The Plot... A jet full of thermo-nuclear explosives has been hijacked by computer genius (Ed Harris). With the aid of a contracted chemical specialist, the NCAA hopes to intercept the stolen computer chips and get them back to their native land. The ATF, with the aid of Jackson Goodwinch (Denzel Washington), must race through the Swiss Alps to return the stolen thermo-nuclear explosives promptly to the English people. As if this wasn't enough, he has a smidge less than 10 days to do it. With the assistance of a retired veteran (Bruce Willis), our hero must mountain bike through the San Fransisco to deliver the hijacked lethal poisonous gas in a timely manner to the American government. The situation worsens as he realises that his high school sweetheart (Catherine Zeta-Jones) has been kidnapped by the the bad guys. Added to the mix you see the loveable tomfoolery of a smart alec soul brother (Chris Tucker) who when held prisoner by the evildoers says: "Wassup my niggas?" However this will prove difficult because a cop with a vendetta (Samuel L. Jackson) has information concerning his lackluster life of crime. Just as the good guy are departing on their suicidal journey, they poorly all burst into a sing-along of Magic Carpet Ride much to the chagrin of PETA . In a stunning climax the President fumbles through a decree to the citizens of the world. As this dramatic grandstanding drags on he says: "When I took office, they never told me THIS would happen. Drop the bombs, Commander." An ATF explosives expert in the crowd replies: "I just hope he's right."
