The Plot... A bus loaded with government secrets has been borrowed by a lunatic (Robert Vaughn). With the assistance of a private explosives hacker, NASA hopes to intercept the stolen computer chips and get them back to their original owner. The PMRC, with the aid of Jackson Bracegood (Cuba Gooding, Jr.), must motorbike through the Swiss Alps to return the stolen nuclear warheads safely to the Icelandic government. As if this wasn't enough, he has only 12 weeks to do it. With the assistance of a retired veteran (Bruce Willis), our heroes must mountain bike through the Swiss Alps to return the stolen government secrets in a timely manner to the American people. The Predicament worsens as he realises that his 8th grade Social Studies teacher (Angelina Jolie) has been kidnapped by the the villain. Added to the mix you see the zany tomfoolery of a smart alec black man (Dave Chapelle) who when held prisoner by the the bad guys says: "All I know is when I get out of this here cell I'm gonna kick whitey's ass!" It will prove difficult because a nosy reporter (Lawrence Fishburne) has secrets concerning his lackluster criminal record. Just as our hero are marching off on their dangerous journey, they stupidly all burst into a sing-along of Magic Carpet Ride much to the chagrin of the NCAA . In a stunning climax the President fumbles through a decree to the peoples of the world. As this moment of truth unfolds he says: "Nothing could have ever prepared me for this day. This is the dawn of a new tomorrow." A NASA explosives expert watching at home replies: "I just hope he's right." Coming this summer. This film is not yet rated.
