The Plot... A cargo train loaded with lethal poisonous gas has been pilfered by computer genius (Gene Hackman). With the help of a private chemical hacker, the CIA hopes to reclaim the stolen technologies and return them to their native land. PETA, with the help of Jackson Wrightspeed (Nicholas Cage), must jet ski through the Sahara Desert to deliver the pilfered thermo-nuclear explosives promptly to the American people. As if this wasn't enough, he has a mere 15 hours to do it. With the help of a crochety navy seal (Sean Connery), the good guys must motorbike through the Sahara Desert to return the borrowed thermo-nuclear explosives promptly to the American government. The Predicament turns sour as he figures out that his brother's girlfriend (Angelina Jolie) has been carjacked by the the bad guys. Along with this we have the loveable tomfoolery of a smart alec soul brother (Chris Tucker) who when held prisoner by the the bad guys says: "Wassup Muthafuckas?" It will prove difficult seeing that a nosy reporter (Al Pacino) has secrets pertaining to his ugly life of crime. Just as our hero are marching off on their perlious journey, they stupidly join in on a sing-along of Love that Dirty Water much to the chagrin of PETA . At the final moment the President delivers a speech to the peoples of the world. As this moment of truth happens he says: "Here we stand, at the dawn of a new tomorrow. Drop the bombs, Commander." An NCAA chemical expert watching a TV in a store window replies: "I pray to God he's right." Coming this winter. Rated R Running time 184 minutes Directed by: Michael Bay Projected Critic Rating:
