The Plot... A bus loaded with lethal poisonous gas has been hijacked by the most dangerous terrorist in the world (Anthony Quinn). With the assistance of a private weapons hacker, the CIA hopes to intercept the hijacked goods and get them back to their original owner. The PMRC, with the aid of Henry Speedgood (George Clooney), must mountain bike through the San Fransisco to deliver the pilfered nuclear warheads safely to the Icelandic people. And if this wasn't enough, he has less than 12 hours to do it. With the help of an old veteran (Jon Voight), our hero must motorbike through the New Jersy Turnpike to return the borrowed CIA information in a timely manner to the American people. All this worsens as he realises that his brother's girlfriend (Angelina Jolie) has been working for the the bad guys. Also we have the zany slapstick of a smart alec soul brother (Dave Chapelle) who when captured by the the bad guys says: "What kinda FUCKED up place is this?!?!" It won't be easy because a cop with a vendetta (Samuel L. Jackson) has secrets concerning his sordid past. Just as the good guys are setting off on their suicidal journey, they stupidly lapse into a sing-along of Magic Carpet Ride much to the embarrassment of the NCRP . At the final moment the President recites a decree to the peoples of the world. As this dramatic grandstanding unfolds he says: " Mankind will survive. Mankind MUST survive!" An FBI explosives hacker watching a TV in a store window replies: "I just hope we're not too late."
