The Plot... A cargo plane full of thermo-nuclear explosives has been stolen by military genius (Anthony Quinn). With the aid of a contracted computer hacker, NASA hopes to reclaim the borrowed goods and return them to their owner. The PMRC, with the help of Jackson Wrightpress (Will Smith), must skateboard through the New Jersy Turnpike to deliver the borrowed nuclear warheads in a timely manner to the English government. And if this wasn't enough, he has less than 12 days to do it. With the help of an old stick in the mud (Robert Duvall), our heroes must ski through the Swiss Alps to deliver the hijacked CIA information safely to the American people. The Predicament worsens as he realises that his old flame (Nicole Kidman) has been working for the the villain. Also we have the zany slapstick of a jive talkin' soul brother (Dave Chapelle) who when captured by the evildoers says: "What kinda fucked up situation is this?" However this won't be easy seeing that an old rival with a score to settle (Samuel L. Jackson) has secrets regarding his ugly life of crime. Just as the good guy are setting out on their dangerous journey, they slowly all burst into a sing-along of Magic Carpet Ride much to the chagrin of the ATF . In the eleventh hour the President recites a speech to the governments of the world. As this moment of truth drags on he says: "Terrorism in all its diabolical forms will not be tolerated. This is the dawn of a new tomorrow." An NCRP weapons hacker watching at home retorts: "I just hope we're not too late." Coming next spring. Rated PG-13 Running time 124 minutes Directed by: Ridley Scott Projected Critic Rating:
