The Plot... A cargo plane loaded with lethal poisonous gas has been pilfered by the most dangerous terrorist in the world (Ed Harris). With the aid of a private explosives specialist, the ATF hopes to intercept the hijacked computer chips and return them to their owner. PETA, with the help of Minneapolis Wrightgood (Denzel Washington), must ski through the jungle to deliver the stolen nuclear warheads in a timely manner to the English government. As if this wasn't enough, he has only 5 days to do it. With the aid of a crochety navy seal (Jon Voight), the good guy must race through the rain forest to return the pilfered nuclear warheads in a timely manner to the English people. The Predicament worsens as he figures out that his common law wife (Catherine Zeta-Jones) has been carjacked by the evildoers. Added to the mix you see the zany tomfoolery of a sass-talking black man (Dave Chapelle) who when kidnapped by the the villain says: "Wassup Muthafuckas?" However this won't be easy because a nosy reporter (Al Pacino) has information concerning his sordid past. Just as our heroes are setting out on their dangerous mission, they poorly join in on a sing-along of Magic Carpet Ride much to the embarrassment of PETA . In the eleventh hour the President issues a decree to the governments of the world. While this dramatic grandstanding drags on he says: " Mankind will survive. Mankind MUST survive!" A NASA explosives specialist watching a TV in a store window answers this with: "I just hope we're not too late." Coming this fall.
