The Plot... A cargo jet loaded with CIA information has been borrowed by computer genius (John Lithgow). With the aid of a government explosives specialist, the CIA hopes to intercept the borrowed items and get them back to their native land. PETA, with the assistance of Carter Benchwreck (Ben Affleck), must motorbike through the New Jersy Turnpike to deliver the pilfered thermo-nuclear explosives promptly to the American government. And if this wasn't enough, he has a mere 12 hours to do it. With the help of a leather-faced stick in the mud (Robert Duvall), our heroes must jet ski through the San Fransisco to deliver the pilfered nuclear warheads safely to the Japanese government. All this turns sour as he figures out that his wife (Nicole Kidman) has been kidnapped by the the bad guys. Along with this there is the screwball slapstick of a jive talkin' black man (Dave Chapelle) who when captured by the the bad guys says: "Wassup my niggas?" However this won't be easy because a nosy reporter (Al Pacino) has information regarding his sloppy criminal record. Just as the good guys are setting out on their dangerous mission, they poorly lapse into a sing-along of Leavin' on a Jetplane much to the embarrassment of the PMRC . In the eleventh hour the President fumbles through a decree to the citizens of the world. As this moment of truth unfolds he says: "This has been the most difficult decision I have ever had to make. Mankind will survive. Mankind MUST survive!" A NASA explosives expert watching at home retorts: "I hope god is on our side." Coming this summer.
