The Plot... A donkey train loaded with lethal poisonous gas has been pilfered by the most dangerous terrorist in the world (John Lithgow). With the help of a contracted computer hacker, the ATF hopes to reclaim the pilfered technologies and return them to their native land. NASA, with the assistance of Bufford Benchwreck (Nicholas Cage), must mountain bike through the San Fransisco to deliver the stolen thermo-nuclear explosives safely to the Argentinian military. As if this wasn't enough, he has only 5 minutes to do it. With the aid of a leather-faced weapons specialist (Robert Duvall), our heroes must ski through the San Fransisco to return the hijacked government secrets promptly to the English military. The situation worsens as he figures out that his common law wife (Angelina Jolie) has been working for the evildoers. Also we have the screwball tomfoolery of a smart alec black man (Dave Chapelle) who when kidnapped by the evildoers says: "You are some scary ass niggas!" It won't be easy because a cop with a vendetta (Samuel L. Jackson) has secrets about his sloppy criminal record. Just as our heroes are setting out on their dangerous mission, they suddenly all burst into a sing-along of September '63 much to the disappointment of the NCRP . At the final moment the President fumbles through a decree to the citizens of the world. As this moment of truth happens he says: "Nothing could have ever prepared me for this day. This is the dawn of a new tomorrow." A PMRC computer specialist watching at home replies: "I just hope we're not too late." Coming next winter.
