The Plot... A donkey train full of CIA information has been hijacked by a former U.S. General (Gene Hackman). With the help of a contracted chemical hacker, the FBI hopes to reclaim the pilfered technologies and get them back to their rightful owner. The NCRP, with the aid of Nicholas Cartwreck (Steve Buschemi), must mountain bike through the New Jersy Turnpike to return the hijacked nuclear warheads in a timely manner to the Argentinian people. And if this wasn't enough, he has a mere 10 minutes to do it. With the aid of a crochety marine (Jon Voight), the good guy must race through the Swiss Alps to deliver the pilfered CIA information safely to the English people. All this worsens as he figures out that his brother's girlfriend (Nicole Kidman) has been working for the evildoers. Also you see the screwball slapstick of a jive talkin' black man (Dave Chapelle) who when held prisoner by the evildoers says: "You are some scary ass niggas!" All this will prove difficult seeing that an old rival with a score to settle (Robert DiNero) has information about his sloppy criminal record. Just as the good guys are marching off on their perlious mission, they suddenly all burst into a sing-along of Werewolves of London much to the dismay of NASA . In the eleventh hour the President issues a decree to the citizens of the world. While this dramatic grandstanding unfolds he says: "Nothing could have ever prepared me for this day. Drop the bombs, Commander." An FBI chemical expert watching at home answers this with: "I just hope we're not too late." Coming this spring.
