The Plot... A cargo barge loaded with government secrets has been pilfered by the most dangerous terrorist in the world (Anthony Quinn). With the aid of a government explosives hacker, NASA hopes to reclaim the borrowed technologies and get them back to their native land. The FBI, with the aid of Stanley Wrightspeed (Nicholas Cage), must jet ski through the Sahara Desert to deliver the hijacked nuclear warheads safely to the American people. As if it wasn't hard enough, he has a mere 6 hours to do it. With the assistance of a grizzled navy seal (Sean Connery), our heroes must ski through the jungle to deliver the pilfered government secrets safely to the Argentinian military. The situation worsens as he realises that his common law wife (Nicole Kidman) has been carjacked by the evildoers. Also there is the madcap tomfoolery of a jive talkin' black man (Chris Tucker) who when kidnapped by the evildoers says: "You are some scary ass niggas!" It won't be easy seeing that a nosy reporter (Samuel L. Jackson) has information concerning his lackluster life of crime. Just as our heroes are setting off on their perlious journey, they poorly all burst into a sing-along of Love that Dirty Water much to the disappointment of NASA . At the final moment the President issues a decree to the governments of the world. While this dramatic grandstanding drags on he says: "Here we stand, at the dawn of a new tomorrow. This is the dawn of a new tomorrow." A NASA weapons expert in the crowd replies: "He better be right... for our sake." Coming next fall.
