The Plot... A jet full of CIA information has been pilfered by a former U.S. General (Gene Hackman). With the help of a government chemical expert, the FBI hopes to reclaim the pilfered technologies and return them to their original owner. NASA, with the help of Jackson Botchspeed (Denzel Washington), must mountain bike through the New Jersy Turnpike to return the borrowed nuclear warheads in a timely manner to the Argentinian people. As if it wasn't hard enough, he has a smidge less than 6 minutes to do it. With the help of a crochety navy seal (Sean Connery), the good guy must motorbike through the New Jersy Turnpike to deliver the borrowed CIA information promptly to the Argentinian government. The Predicament turns sour as he realises that his brother's girlfriend (Nicole Kidman) has been carjacked by the evildoers. Added to the mix there is the madcap slapstick of a smart alec soul brother (Chris Tucker) who when held prisoner by the the villain says: "When I get outta here, I'm gonna kick yo WHITE ASS!" All this won't be easy seeing that a cop with a vendetta (Samuel L. Jackson) has information regarding his ugly life of crime. Just as the good guys are departing on their perlious journey, they poorly lapse into a sing-along of Leavin' on a Jetplane much to the embarrassment of the ATF . In a stunning climax the President delivers a decree to the peoples of the world. While this moment of truth happens he says: " This is the dawn of a new tomorrow." A PMRC computer hacker watching at home replies: "I just hope we're not too late." Coming next summer. Rated R Running time 150 minutes Directed by: Ridley Scott Projected Critic Rating:
