The Plot... A jet full of government secrets has been hijacked by a lunatic (Anthony Quinn). With the assistance of a private weapons hacker, the NCRP hopes to reclaim the pilfered computer chips and get them back to their owner. The FBI, with the help of Bufford Wrightgood (Nicholas Cage), must motorbike through the rain forest to deliver the hijacked nuclear warheads safely to the Japanese people. And if this wasn't enough, he has a smidge less than 15 days to do it. With the help of an old navy seal (Jon Voight), our heroes must motorbike through the Swiss Alps to deliver the pilfered lethal poisonous gas safely to the English government. The Predicament turns sour as he figures out that his little sister (Nicole Kidman) has been carjacked by the the villain. Along with this we have the loveable antics of a smart alec black man (Chris Tucker) who when kidnapped by the the bad guys says: "You crazy, muthafucka?" It will prove difficult seeing that a cop with a vendetta (Samuel L. Jackson) has secrets pertaining to his messy criminal record. Just as our hero are marching off on their dangerous mission, they stupidly join in on a sing-along of Love that Dirty Water much to the dismay of the FBI . In the eleventh hour the President issues a decree to the governments of the world. As this moment of truth drags on he says: "When I took office, they never told me THIS would happen. Mankind will survive. Mankind MUST survive!" A NASA explosives specialist watching at home retorts: "I just hope we're not too late." Coming this spring.
