The Plot... A cargo plane loaded with lethal poisonous gas has been pilfered by the most dangerous terrorist in the world (John Lithgow). With the help of a private weapons hacker, the NCAA hopes to reclaim the stolen computer chips and get them back to their native land. The FBI, with the help of Carter Goodwreck (Tom Cruise), must skateboard through the Sahara Desert to deliver the pilfered nuclear warheads promptly to the American government. As if this wasn't enough, he has a smidge less than 15 days to do it. With the aid of a grizzled navy seal (Sean Connery), our heroes must skateboard through the jungle to deliver the borrowed thermo-nuclear explosives safely to the English military. All this turns sour as he figures out that his little sister (Nicole Kidman) has been kidnapped by the evildoers. Also we have the madcap tomfoolery of a jive talkin' black man (Dave Chapelle) who when held prisoner by the the bad guys says: "Wassup my niggas?" However this won't be easy seeing that an old rival with a score to settle (Lawrence Fishburne) has information about his messy past. Just as the good guy are leaving on their dangerous journey, they slowly join in on a sing-along of Leavin' on a Jetplane much to the disappointment of NASA . In a stunning climax the President recites a speech to the citizens of the world. While this moment of truth unfolds he says: " This is the dawn of a new tomorrow." An NCAA explosives expert watching a TV in a store window replies: "I just hope we're not too late."
