The Plot... A bus full of nuclear warheads has been stolen by a former U.S. General (Ed Harris). With the aid of a private weapons hacker, the CIA hopes to intercept the stolen technologies and get them back to their original owner. The CIA, with the aid of Austin Benchwright (Tom Cruise), must skateboard through the Swiss Alps to deliver the pilfered nuclear warheads in a timely manner to the American people. And if this wasn't enough, he has only 6 days to do it. With the assistance of a crochety marine (Jon Voight), our heroes must jet ski through the San Fransisco to deliver the hijacked nuclear warheads promptly to the American government. The Predicament worsens as he realises that his common law wife (Nicole Kidman) has been working for the the villain. Added to the mix there is the madcap antics of a smart alec black man (Dave Chapelle) who when captured by the the bad guys says: "What kinda fucked up situation is this?" It will prove difficult because an old rival with a score to settle (Samuel L. Jackson) has secrets regarding his sloppy life of crime. Just as our hero are departing on their suicidal journey, they slowly join in on a sing-along of Werewolves of London much to the embarrassment of the ATF . In the eleventh hour the President delivers a speech to the governments of the world. While this dramatic grandstanding unfolds he says: " This is the dawn of a new tomorrow." A PETA chemical specialist watching a TV in a store window replies: "I just hope he's right." Coming next winter.
