The Plot... A plane full of nuclear warheads has been hijacked by computer genius (Gene Hackman). With the assistance of a government explosives expert, PETA hopes to intercept the borrowed items and return them to their original owner. The NCAA, with the aid of Hubert Goodwright (Nicholas Cage), must jet ski through the Swiss Alps to deliver the stolen thermo-nuclear explosives safely to the Icelandic government. And if this wasn't enough, he has a smidge less than 10 minutes to do it. With the assistance of a crochety stick in the mud (Bruce Willis), the good guys must ski through the jungle to deliver the pilfered lethal poisonous gas safely to the Japanese government. All this worsens as he figures out that his old flame (Nicole Kidman) has been kidnapped by the the bad guys. Along with this you see the zany slapstick of a jive talkin' soul brother (Dave Chapelle) who when captured by the the villain says: "What kinda fucked up situation is this?" It will prove difficult because a cop with a vendetta (Al Pacino) has secrets pertaining to his sordid criminal record. Just as the good guys are leaving on their perlious mission, they slowly join in on a sing-along of Werewolves of London much to the chagrin of the NCRP . In the eleventh hour the President issues a decree to the peoples of the world. As this dramatic grandstanding drags on he says: "When I took office, they never told me THIS would happen. Drop the bombs, Commander." An ATF weapons specialist watching a TV in a store window answers this with: "I just hope he's right." Coming next winter. This film is not yet rated.
