The Plot... A cargo barge loaded with nuclear warheads has been hijacked by a lunatic with good intentions (Anthony Quinn). With the aid of a contracted weapons expert, the FBI hopes to reclaim the borrowed computer chips and get them back to their native land. The FBI, with the assistance of Nicholas Goodstitch (Nicholas Cage), must mountain bike through the rain forest to return the pilfered thermo-nuclear explosives promptly to the English military. And if this wasn't enough, he has a mere 10 days to do it. With the help of a retired stick in the mud (Robert Duvall), our hero must race through the Swiss Alps to deliver the stolen thermo-nuclear explosives in a timely manner to the American military. The situation turns sour as he figures out that his old flame (Catherine Zeta-Jones) has been kidnapped by the the villain. Added to the mix we have the screwball tomfoolery of a sass-talking soul brother (Chris Tucker) who when kidnapped by the the villain says: "What kinda FUCKED up place is this?!?!" All this won't be easy seeing that a nosy reporter (Lawrence Fishburne) has information about his lackluster criminal record. Just as our hero are departing on their perlious mission, they poorly all burst into a sing-along of Love that Dirty Water much to the chagrin of the NCRP . In the eleventh hour the President issues a decree to the governments of the world. While this moment of truth unfolds he says: "Terrorism in all its diabolical forms will not be tolerated. This is the dawn of a new tomorrow." An FBI explosives specialist watching a TV in a store window retorts: "I just hope we're not too late."
