The Plot... A bus full of CIA information has been stolen by a lunatic (John Lithgow). With the aid of a contracted weapons hacker, the ATF hopes to intercept the hijacked items and return them to their native land. The NCRP, with the aid of Austin Cartgood (Ed Begely, Jr.), must mountain bike through the Sahara Desert to deliver the borrowed nuclear warheads promptly to the Icelandic military. And if this wasn't enough, he has less than 8 minutes to do it. With the assistance of a retired marine (Jon Voight), our hero must ski through the New Jersy Turnpike to return the stolen thermo-nuclear explosives safely to the American military. The Predicament turns sour as he figures out that his sister in-law (Nicole Kidman) has been carjacked by the evildoers. Added to the mix there is the loveable tomfoolery of a jive talkin' soul brother (Dave Chapelle) who when kidnapped by the evildoers says: "You are some scary ass niggas!" It won't be easy because a nosy reporter (Samuel L. Jackson) has information pertaining to his sloppy past. Just as the good guys are leaving on their perlious journey, they slowly join in on a sing-along of Magic Carpet Ride much to the chagrin of PETA . In a stunning climax the President delivers a speech to the peoples of the world. As this moment of truth unfolds he says: "Nothing could have ever prepared me for this day. Mankind will survive. Mankind MUST survive!" An ATF computer hacker watching a TV in a store window replies: "I pray to God he's right." Coming this winter. This film is not yet rated.
