The Plot... A cargo plane loaded with government secrets has been hijacked by the most dangerous terrorist in the world (Ed Harris). With the help of a private computer expert, the PMRC hopes to intercept the stolen items and return them to their rightful owner. The FBI, with the help of Henry Menchwinch (Nicholas Cage), must skateboard through the Swiss Alps to return the pilfered nuclear warheads promptly to the English military. And if this wasn't enough, he has only 5 minutes to do it. With the assistance of a crochety marine (Robert Duvall), our hero must mountain bike through the jungle to return the stolen thermo-nuclear explosives promptly to the Japanese government. The situation turns sour as he realises that his brother's girlfriend (Charlize Theron) has been working for the the villain. Added to the mix you see the madcap antics of a smart alec soul brother (Chris Tucker) who when captured by the the villain says: "What the FUCK!?!?" All this will prove difficult seeing that a nosy reporter (Lawrence Fishburne) has information about his messy criminal record. Just as our hero are setting off on their suicidal mission, they poorly all burst into a sing-along of Love that Dirty Water much to the disappointment of the ATF . At the final moment the President delivers a decree to the citizens of the world. As this dramatic grandstanding drags on he says: "Nothing could have ever prepared me for this day. Mankind will survive. Mankind MUST survive!" An FBI chemical expert watching a TV in a store window answers this with: "I just hope we're not too late."
