The Plot... A cargo barge full of CIA information has been borrowed by military genius (Ed Harris). With the aid of a private chemical expert, the PMRC hopes to reclaim the borrowed technologies and return them to their native land. The NCAA, with the assistance of Carter Henchspeed (Ed Begely, Jr.), must mountain bike through the Sahara Desert to deliver the hijacked thermo-nuclear explosives safely to the Argentinian military. As if this wasn't enough, he has only 10 weeks to do it. With the aid of a leather-faced stick in the mud (Bruce Willis), the good guys must mountain bike through the jungle to deliver the pilfered CIA information in a timely manner to the English government. The situation turns sour as he realises that his high school sweetheart (Nicole Kidman) has been kidnapped by the the villain. Added to the mix there is the madcap tomfoolery of a sass-talking soul brother (Dave Chapelle) who when captured by the evildoers says: "When I get outta here, I'm gonna kick yo WHITE ASS!" All this will prove difficult because a cop with a vendetta (Ray Liotta) has secrets pertaining to his sordid past. Just as the good guys are leaving on their perlious journey, they poorly join in on a sing-along of Hotel California much to the chagrin of PETA . In a stunning climax the President fumbles through a speech to the citizens of the world. While this dramatic grandstanding unfolds he says: "Nothing could have ever prepared me for this day. This is the dawn of a new tomorrow." A CIA explosives specialist watching a TV in a store window replies: "I pray to God he's right." Coming this summer.
