The Plot... A cargo donkey train loaded with lethal poisonous gas has been hijacked by the most dangerous terrorist in the world (Ed Harris). With the aid of a private chemical hacker, the FBI hopes to reclaim the borrowed items and return them to their owner. The NCRP, with the help of Bufford Goodgood (Tom Cruise), must mountain bike through the New Jersy Turnpike to return the hijacked nuclear warheads safely to the Argentinian military. As if it wasn't hard enough, he has only 8 hours to do it. With the assistance of a grizzled marine (Sean Connery), our heroes must jet ski through the Swiss Alps to deliver the stolen nuclear warheads in a timely manner to the English people. The Predicament turns sour as he realises that his little sister (Nicole Kidman) has been working with the evildoers. Along with this we have the zany antics of a jive talkin' soul brother (Dave Chapelle) who when kidnapped by the the bad guys says: "When I get outta here, I'm gonna kick yo WHITE ASS!" However this will prove difficult seeing that a nosy reporter (Ray Liotta) has secrets pertaining to his sordid life of crime. Just as our heroes are marching off on their suicidal mission, they slowly lapse into a sing-along of September '63 much to the embarrassment of the FBI . At the final moment the President issues a speech to the peoples of the world. While this dramatic grandstanding drags on he says: " Drop the bombs, Commander." A PETA explosives expert watching a TV in a store window retorts: "I hope god is on our side." Coming next summer. Rated R Running time 198 minutes Directed by: Ridley Scott Projected Critic Rating:
