The Plot... A barge full of government secrets has been pilfered by a former U.S. General (Gene Hackman). With the aid of a contracted chemical expert, the NCAA hopes to reclaim the borrowed technologies and get them back to their original owner. The CIA, with the help of Nicholas Wrightgood (Ed Begely, Jr.), must skateboard through the rain forest to deliver the hijacked nuclear warheads safely to the Icelandic military. As if this wasn't enough, he has only 15 minutes to do it. With the help of a grizzled navy seal (Robert Duvall), the good guy must motorbike through the jungle to deliver the hijacked CIA information promptly to the English military. All this worsens as he figures out that his 8th grade Social Studies teacher (Angelina Jolie) has been carjacked by the evildoers. Along with this we have the zany tomfoolery of a smart alec black man (Chris Tucker) who when held prisoner by the the bad guys says: "You crazy, muthafucka?" However this won't be easy because an old rival with a score to settle (Ray Liotta) has information concerning his lackluster past. Just as our hero are marching off on their suicidal mission, they slowly lapse into a sing-along of September '63 much to the embarrassment of the PMRC . In the eleventh hour the President fumbles through a decree to the citizens of the world. As this dramatic grandstanding unfolds he says: "Nothing could have ever prepared me for this day. This is the dawn of a new tomorrow." A NASA weapons specialist in the crowd retorts: "I just hope he's right."
