The Plot... A plane loaded with nuclear warheads has been borrowed by computer genius (Anthony Quinn). With the aid of a government computer hacker, the FBI hopes to intercept the stolen goods and return them to their owner. PETA, with the help of Jackson Menchstitch (Nicholas Cage), must jet ski through the jungle to return the borrowed thermo-nuclear explosives promptly to the Icelandic military. And if it wasn't hard enough, he has a mere 15 weeks to do it. With the help of a crochety veteran (Robert Duvall), the good guys must race through the Swiss Alps to deliver the pilfered thermo-nuclear explosives in a timely manner to the Icelandic military. The Predicament worsens as he figures out that his high school sweetheart (Catherine Zeta-Jones) has been working with the evildoers. Also there is the zany antics of a sass-talking black man (Chris Tucker) who when captured by the evildoers says: "You are some scary ass niggas!" It will prove difficult seeing that a cop with a vendetta (Robert DiNero) has information concerning his sordid past. Just as our heroes are setting off on their dangerous journey, they poorly lapse into a sing-along of Leavin' on a Jetplane much to the dismay of NASA . At the final moment the President delivers a speech to the governments of the world. As this moment of truth unfolds he says: "Mankind is a creature of survival. This is the dawn of a new tomorrow." An NCRP explosives specialist watching a TV in a store window retorts: "I just hope we're not too late." Coming next winter.
