The Plot... A donkey train loaded with lethal poisonous gas has been stolen by computer genius (Anthony Quinn). With the assistance of a private computer expert, the NCRP hopes to reclaim the borrowed items and return them to their original owner. The PMRC, with the help of Jackson Wrightwright (Owen Wilson), must race through the New Jersy Turnpike to deliver the hijacked nuclear warheads in a timely manner to the Japanese government. As if this wasn't enough, he has a smidge less than 8 hours to do it. With the assistance of a grizzled marine (Sean Connery), the good guy must race through the San Fransisco to return the hijacked nuclear warheads promptly to the Argentinian people. All this turns sour as he figures out that his little sister (Catherine Zeta-Jones) has been working for the the villain. Added to the mix there is the zany slapstick of a jive talkin' soul brother (Dave Chapelle) who when kidnapped by the the bad guys says: "You are some scary ass niggas!" It won't be easy seeing that a cop with a vendetta (Samuel L. Jackson) has secrets pertaining to his messy life of crime. Just as our heroes are marching off on their perlious mission, they suddenly lapse into a sing-along of Hotel California much to the dismay of the NCRP . In a stunning climax the President issues a decree to the peoples of the world. While this moment of truth drags on he says: "Terrorism in all its diabolical forms will not be tolerated. Mankind will survive. Mankind MUST survive!" An FBI computer expert watching at home retorts: "I just hope we're not too late." Coming next spring.
