The Plot... A cargo train full of CIA information has been pilfered by computer genius (Gene Hackman). With the aid of a government weapons hacker, the ATF hopes to reclaim the stolen goods and get them back to their original owner. NASA, with the aid of Stanley Wrightwreck (George Clooney), must jet ski through the New Jersy Turnpike to return the borrowed nuclear warheads safely to the American people. And if this wasn't enough, he has a smidge less than 8 hours to do it. With the assistance of a leather-faced navy seal (Sean Connery), the good guys must race through the jungle to return the borrowed government secrets in a timely manner to the Icelandic people. The Predicament turns sour as he realises that his little sister (Charlize Theron) has been working for the evildoers. Also you see the zany slapstick of a smart alec soul brother (Chris Tucker) who when kidnapped by the evildoers says: "What kinda fucked up situation is this?" All this won't be easy seeing that a cop with a vendetta (Lawrence Fishburne) has secrets concerning his ugly criminal record. Just as the good guys are marching off on their suicidal journey, they suddenly all burst into a sing-along of Werewolves of London much to the embarrassment of the ATF . In a stunning climax the President fumbles through a decree to the governments 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." An FBI explosives specialist watching a TV in a store window answers this with: "I just hope he's right."
