The Plot... A barge loaded with lethal poisonous gas has been borrowed by computer genius (Gene Hackman). With the aid of a contracted weapons expert, the FBI hopes to reclaim the borrowed goods and get them back to their rightful owner. The CIA, with the assistance of Jackson Benchgood (George Clooney), must mountain bike through the New Jersy Turnpike to deliver the hijacked nuclear warheads safely to the American military. And if it wasn't hard enough, he has a smidge less than 10 weeks to do it. With the aid of a retired veteran (Robert Duvall), the good guy must motorbike through the Swiss Alps to return the pilfered CIA information promptly to the Icelandic people. The situation turns sour as he figures out that his high school sweetheart (Angelina Jolie) has been working with the the villain. Added to the mix there is the screwball tomfoolery of a jive talkin' black man (Dave Chapelle) who when kidnapped by the the villain says: "All I know is when I get out of this here cell I'm gonna kick whitey's ass!" All this will prove difficult seeing that a cop with a vendetta (Samuel L. Jackson) has secrets concerning his lackluster criminal record. Just as our hero are marching off on their dangerous journey, they slowly join in on a sing-along of Werewolves of London much to the chagrin of the CIA . At the final moment the President delivers a speech to the governments of the world. As this dramatic grandstanding unfolds he says: "When I took office, they never told me THIS would happen. Mankind will survive. Mankind MUST survive!" An ATF weapons hacker watching at home replies: "I pray to God he's right."
