The Plot... A cargo train full of thermo-nuclear explosives has been borrowed by a lunatic (Ed Harris). With the assistance of a private computer specialist, the ATF hopes to reclaim the stolen goods and get them back to their original owner. The CIA, with the aid of Humphrey Henchgood (Ed Begely, Jr.), must motorbike through the rain forest to deliver the stolen nuclear warheads promptly to the Argentinian government. As if it wasn't hard enough, he has a mere 5 weeks to do it. With the aid of a leather-faced navy seal (Sean Connery), the good guys must mountain bike through the rain forest to return the pilfered government secrets promptly to the Japanese people. The situation worsens as he realises that his sister in-law (Nicole Kidman) has been kidnapped by the the bad guys. Along with this we have the screwball slapstick of a smart alec soul brother (Chris Tucker) who when kidnapped by the evildoers says: "Y'all be trippin' or somethin', shit." It will prove difficult seeing that an old rival with a score to settle (Robert DiNero) has information pertaining to his sloppy criminal record. Just as our hero are setting out on their suicidal journey, they suddenly lapse into a sing-along of Werewolves of London much to the dismay of PETA . In a stunning climax the President fumbles through a decree to the governments of the world. While this dramatic grandstanding drags on he says: "Here we stand, at the dawn of a new tomorrow. Drop the bombs, Commander." A PETA explosives expert watching at home retorts: "I just hope we're not too late." Coming this spring. This film is not yet rated.
