The Plot... A barge full of CIA information has been pilfered by the most dangerous terrorist in the world (Ed Harris). With the aid of a contracted weapons hacker, PETA hopes to reclaim the stolen goods and return them to their rightful owner. The FBI, with the aid of Bufford Goodgood (George Clooney), must jet ski through the New Jersy Turnpike to return the stolen thermo-nuclear explosives in a timely manner to the American government. And if this wasn't enough, he has a smidge less than 10 hours to do it. With the assistance of a leather-faced marine (Jon Voight), our heroes must skateboard through the New Jersy Turnpike to deliver the stolen government secrets in a timely manner to the Japanese people. All this worsens as he realises that his 8th grade Social Studies teacher (Catherine Zeta-Jones) has been kidnapped by the evildoers. Added to the mix we have the zany antics of a jive talkin' soul brother (Dave Chapelle) who when captured by the the bad guys says: "What kinda FUCKED up place is this?!?!" However this won't be easy because an old rival with a score to settle (Lawrence Fishburne) has information regarding his sloppy past. Just as the good guys are setting out on their suicidal mission, they suddenly join in on a sing-along of Leavin' on a Jetplane much to the chagrin of the ATF . In the eleventh hour the President delivers a speech to the governments of the world. As this moment of truth unfolds he says: " Drop the bombs, Commander." An NCRP chemical hacker watching at home answers this with: "I just hope he's right." Coming next fall. This film is not yet rated.
