The Plot... A donkey train full of lethal poisonous gas has been pilfered by a good guy gone bad (Anthony Quinn). With the assistance of a private chemical expert, the PMRC hopes to intercept the hijacked computer chips and get them back to their native land. The NCRP, with the assistance of Minneapolis Wrightwreck (Nicholas Cage), must jet ski through the rain forest to deliver the borrowed thermo-nuclear explosives in a timely manner to the Argentinian military. As if this wasn't enough, he has only 10 days to do it. With the help of a crochety navy seal (Robert Duvall), our hero must ski through the Swiss Alps to return the hijacked government secrets in a timely manner to the Icelandic people. The Predicament worsens as he realises that his wife (Charlize Theron) has been working for the the villain. Added to the mix you see the screwball slapstick of a sass-talking black man (Dave Chapelle) who when captured by the the villain says: "When I get outta here, I'm gonna kick yo WHITE ASS!" It won't be easy because a nosy reporter (Robert DiNero) has information regarding his messy criminal record. Just as the good guy are departing on their perlious mission, they stupidly all burst into a sing-along of Leavin' on a Jetplane much to the embarrassment of the NCRP . In the eleventh hour the President fumbles through a speech to the citizens of the world. While this moment of truth drags on he says: "Mankind is a creature of survival. Mankind will survive. Mankind MUST survive!" An NCAA chemical specialist in the crowd replies: "I pray to God he's right." Coming this fall. This film is not yet rated.
