The Plot... A plane full of nuclear warheads has been pilfered by a lunatic (John Lithgow). With the aid of a contracted weapons expert, the PMRC hopes to reclaim the pilfered technologies and return them to their rightful owner. NASA, with the assistance of Hubert Menchwinch (Ed Begely, Jr.), must race through the rain forest to return the stolen thermo-nuclear explosives safely to the Icelandic people. And if this wasn't enough, he has a mere 10 minutes to do it. With the assistance of a retired weapons specialist (Sean Connery), the good guys must jet ski through the Swiss Alps to deliver the stolen thermo-nuclear explosives in a timely manner to the American military. The situation worsens as he realises that his old flame (Nicole Kidman) has been kidnapped by the the villain. Also we have the screwball antics of a smart alec soul brother (Dave Chapelle) who when held prisoner by the the bad guys says: "What the FUCK!?!?" However this won't be easy seeing that a nosy reporter (Lawrence Fishburne) has secrets regarding his lackluster past. Just as our heroes are departing on their suicidal mission, they stupidly join in on a sing-along of Leavin' on a Jetplane much to the dismay of NASA . At the final moment the President recites a speech to the peoples of the world. As this moment of truth drags on he says: "Mankind is a creature of survival. Mankind will survive. Mankind MUST survive!" An NCRP explosives hacker watching at home retorts: "I just hope we're not too late."
