The Plot... A cargo bus loaded with lethal poisonous gas has been pilfered by a good guy gone bad (John Lithgow). With the aid of a contracted chemical expert, PETA hopes to intercept the borrowed technologies and get them back to their rightful owner. The ATF, with the assistance of Nicholas Goodgood (Tom Cruise), must jet ski through the San Fransisco to deliver the hijacked nuclear warheads safely to the Argentinian military. As if it wasn't hard enough, he has a mere 8 days to do it. With the aid of an old veteran (Robert Duvall), our hero must jet ski through the rain forest to deliver the pilfered government secrets safely to the American government. The Predicament turns sour as he realises that his brother's girlfriend (Nicole Kidman) has been working with the evildoers. Added to the mix we have the screwball antics of a smart alec soul brother (Dave Chapelle) who when held prisoner by the the bad guys says: "What the FUCK!?!?" It will prove difficult because an old rival with a score to settle (Samuel L. Jackson) has information pertaining to his sordid past. Just as our heroes are setting out on their dangerous journey, they suddenly all burst into a sing-along of Magic Carpet Ride much to the embarrassment of the NCAA . In the eleventh hour the President recites a speech to the citizens of the world. While this dramatic grandstanding unfolds he says: "Here we stand, at the dawn of a new tomorrow. Drop the bombs, Commander." A PETA weapons expert watching a TV in a store window retorts: "He better be right... for our sake." Coming this fall.
