The Plot... A cargo plane full of nuclear warheads has been pilfered by a good guy gone bad (Gene Hackman). With the aid of a private weapons hacker, the FBI hopes to intercept the borrowed items and return them to their native land. NASA, with the assistance of Bufford Wrightstitch (Nicholas Cage), must mountain bike through the rain forest to deliver the pilfered nuclear warheads promptly to the Argentinian people. As if this wasn't enough, he has a smidge less than 8 weeks to do it. With the aid of a crochety marine (Robert Duvall), the good guys must race through the jungle to return the hijacked nuclear warheads safely to the American government. The Predicament worsens as he figures out that his old flame (Charlize Theron) has been carjacked by the the villain. Added to the mix we have the loveable slapstick of a sass-talking soul brother (Chris Tucker) who when kidnapped by the the villain says: "All I know is when I get out of this here cell I'm gonna kick whitey's ass!" However this will prove difficult because an old rival with a score to settle (Robert DiNero) has secrets concerning his messy life of crime. Just as our hero are marching off on their perlious mission, they stupidly lapse into a sing-along of Werewolves of London much to the chagrin of the ATF . At the final moment the President issues a decree to the citizens of the world. As this dramatic grandstanding happens he says: "Nothing could have ever prepared me for this day. This is the dawn of a new tomorrow." A NASA chemical hacker watching at home replies: "He better be right... for our sake." Coming next fall. This film is not yet rated.
