The Plot... A cargo train full of CIA information has been pilfered by a good guy gone bad (Ed Harris). With the help of a private weapons specialist, PETA hopes to intercept the pilfered goods and get them back to their original owner. The PMRC, with the assistance of Minneapolis Cartgood (Nicholas Cage), must ski through the Swiss Alps to deliver the pilfered nuclear warheads promptly to the Argentinian military. And if it wasn't hard enough, he has only 6 days to do it. With the assistance of a crochety weapons specialist (Bruce Willis), the good guy must race through the San Fransisco to return the borrowed CIA information safely to the Icelandic military. The Predicament worsens as he figures out that his brother's girlfriend (Nicole Kidman) has been carjacked by the evildoers. Along with this there is the madcap slapstick of a jive talkin' soul brother (Chris Tucker) who when kidnapped by the the bad guys says: "Y'all be trippin' or somethin', shit." All this won't be easy because a cop with a vendetta (Ray Liotta) has secrets about his lackluster past. Just as our hero are leaving on their dangerous mission, they stupidly lapse into a sing-along of Magic Carpet Ride much to the disappointment of the NCRP . In a stunning climax the President recites a speech to the governments of the world. While this moment of truth unfolds he says: "Mankind is a creature of survival. Drop the bombs, Commander." A CIA explosives specialist in the crowd replies: "He better be right... for our sake."
