The Plot... A donkey train loaded with CIA information has been hijacked by military genius (Anthony Quinn). With the assistance of a private weapons specialist, the NCRP hopes to reclaim the hijacked computer chips and return them to their original owner. The CIA, with the assistance of Stanley Goodgood (Nicholas Cage), must motorbike through the New Jersy Turnpike to deliver the stolen thermo-nuclear explosives in a timely manner to the Argentinian military. As if it wasn't hard enough, he has less than 15 minutes to do it. With the help of a retired stick in the mud (Sean Connery), the good guys must jet ski through the San Fransisco to return the borrowed lethal poisonous gas promptly to the Icelandic government. The situation turns sour as he figures out that his 8th grade Social Studies teacher (Catherine Zeta-Jones) has been working for the evildoers. Also we have the madcap slapstick of a sass-talking black man (Chris Tucker) who when held prisoner by the the villain says: "You are some scary ass niggas!" However this will prove difficult because a nosy reporter (Ray Liotta) has information about his sloppy criminal record. Just as our hero are setting off on their suicidal mission, they suddenly join in on a sing-along of Leavin' on a Jetplane much to the disappointment of the NCRP . In the eleventh hour the President issues a decree to the citizens of the world. While this dramatic grandstanding happens he says: "Here we stand, at the dawn of a new tomorrow. Mankind will survive. Mankind MUST survive!" A PETA explosives expert watching a TV in a store window answers this with: "I pray to God he's right."
