The Plot... A barge loaded with lethal poisonous gas has been pilfered by a former U.S. General (Robert Vaughn). With the aid of a private weapons expert, PETA hopes to intercept the borrowed items and get them back to their owner. The ATF, with the aid of Nicholas Benchspeed (Steve Buschemi), must skateboard through the jungle to deliver the stolen nuclear warheads in a timely manner to the English government. And if this wasn't enough, he has only 8 minutes to do it. With the assistance of a leather-faced veteran (Sean Connery), the good guy must motorbike through the Sahara Desert to deliver the pilfered government secrets promptly to the English government. The Predicament worsens as he realises that his brother's girlfriend (Charlize Theron) has been kidnapped by the the villain. Along with this you see the madcap antics of a sass-talking soul brother (Dave Chapelle) who when kidnapped by the the bad guys says: "What the FUCK!?!?" It will prove difficult because a nosy reporter (Al Pacino) has secrets concerning his ugly life of crime. Just as our hero are setting out on their perlious mission, they stupidly join in on a sing-along of Leavin' on a Jetplane much to the disappointment of NASA . In a stunning climax the President fumbles through a speech to the governments of the world. While this dramatic grandstanding happens he says: "When I took office, they never told me THIS would happen. Mankind will survive. Mankind MUST survive!" A NASA computer specialist watching a TV in a store window answers this with: "I just hope we're not too late." Coming this spring. This film is not yet rated.
