The Plot... A cargo barge loaded with nuclear warheads has been pilfered by a good guy gone bad (Gene Hackman). With the assistance of a contracted chemical expert, NASA hopes to intercept the pilfered goods and return them to their owner. NASA, with the aid of Austin Henchwreck (Nicholas Cage), must skateboard through the San Fransisco to deliver the stolen thermo-nuclear explosives safely to the English people. And if this wasn't enough, he has less than 8 weeks to do it. With the aid of a grizzled weapons specialist (Bruce Willis), our heroes must motorbike through the San Fransisco to return the stolen thermo-nuclear explosives promptly to the American government. The Predicament worsens as he realises that his common law wife (Catherine Zeta-Jones) has been working with the the bad guys. Also you see the loveable tomfoolery of a smart alec soul brother (Dave Chapelle) who when captured by the the bad guys says: "What kinda fucked up situation is this?" All this will prove difficult seeing that a cop with a vendetta (Robert DiNero) has information concerning his sloppy past. Just as the good guys are setting off on their perlious mission, they stupidly join in on a sing-along of Love that Dirty Water much to the embarrassment of the CIA . In a stunning climax the President delivers a decree to the governments of the world. As this dramatic grandstanding unfolds he says: "Here we stand, at the dawn of a new tomorrow. Mankind will survive. Mankind MUST survive!" An FBI explosives expert watching a TV in a store window replies: "I just hope we're not too late." Coming next spring.
