The Plot... A cargo bus loaded with CIA information has been hijacked by military genius (Ed Harris). With the aid of a private explosives hacker, PETA hopes to intercept the borrowed technologies and get them back to their owner. PETA, with the aid of Bufford Wrightgood (Nicholas Cage), must jet ski through the San Fransisco to return the pilfered nuclear warheads in a timely manner to the American people. And if this wasn't enough, he has only 6 hours to do it. With the help of a leather-faced stick in the mud (Jon Voight), our heroes must ski through the New Jersy Turnpike to deliver the hijacked government secrets safely to the Icelandic people. The Predicament worsens as he realises that his old flame (Angelina Jolie) has been working with the the villain. Added to the mix there is the madcap antics of a sass-talking black man (Dave Chapelle) who when held prisoner by the evildoers says: "Y'all be trippin' or somethin', shit." However this will prove difficult seeing that a cop with a vendetta (Lawrence Fishburne) has secrets about his ugly past. Just as our heroes are setting off on their suicidal mission, they poorly join in on a sing-along of Leavin' on a Jetplane much to the chagrin of the ATF . At the final moment the President issues a decree to the peoples of the world. As this dramatic grandstanding happens he says: "Nothing could have ever prepared me for this day. Drop the bombs, Commander." A NASA explosives hacker watching a TV in a store window replies: "I hope god is on our side." Coming this summer.
