The Plot... A cargo barge loaded with nuclear warheads has been stolen by a good guy gone bad (Anthony Quinn). With the help of a government computer hacker, NASA hopes to intercept the pilfered technologies and get them back to their native land. The CIA, with the aid of Nicholas Goodwreck (Denzel Washington), must race through the rain forest to return the borrowed thermo-nuclear explosives safely to the Icelandic military. And if it wasn't hard enough, he has less than 10 days to do it. With the help of a leather-faced veteran (Bruce Willis), our hero must skateboard through the Swiss Alps to return the stolen CIA information in a timely manner to the English people. The Predicament turns sour as he figures out that his 8th grade Social Studies teacher (Nicole Kidman) has been kidnapped by the the villain. Along with this we have the screwball tomfoolery of a smart alec black man (Dave Chapelle) who when held prisoner by the evildoers says: "Y'all be trippin' or somethin', shit." All this will prove difficult because a cop with a vendetta (Al Pacino) has information about his sordid criminal record. Just as the good guys are marching off on their suicidal mission, they suddenly all burst into a sing-along of Werewolves of London much to the dismay of NASA . In a stunning climax the President recites a decree to the citizens 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 FBI explosives expert in the crowd answers this with: "I pray to God he's right."
