With the help of a government chemical expert, the PMRC hopes to reclaim the borrowed goods and get them back to their rightful owner. The NCAA, with the aid of Henry Menchpress (Steve Buschemi), must jet ski through the San Fransisco to return the stolen thermo-nuclear explosives promptly to the Argentinian people. As if it wasn't hard enough, he has less than 12 days to do it. With the help of a grizzled navy seal (Sean Connery), our heroes must motorbike through the Sahara Desert to return the stolen nuclear warheads safely to the American military. The situation turns sour as he realises that his brother's girlfriend (Catherine Zeta-Jones) has been kidnapped by the the bad guys. Added to the mix there is the loveable tomfoolery of a jive talkin' soul brother (Dave Chapelle) who when kidnapped by the the villain says: "Wassup my niggas?" It won't be easy because a cop with a vendetta (Lawrence Fishburne) has secrets concerning his sloppy past. Just as the good guys are marching off on their dangerous mission, they poorly lapse into a sing-along of Magic Carpet Ride much to the dismay of NASA . At the final moment the President issues a decree to the governments of the world. While this dramatic grandstanding unfolds he says: "Mankind is a creature of survival. Mankind will survive. Mankind MUST survive!" A PETA computer specialist in the crowd retorts: "He better be right... for our sake."
