The Plot... A donkey train loaded with CIA information has been stolen by military genius (Anthony Quinn). With the help of a contracted chemical specialist, the PMRC hopes to intercept the borrowed technologies and get them back to their native land. The PMRC, with the aid of Minneapolis Bracegood (Ben Affleck), must motorbike through the Swiss Alps to deliver the hijacked thermo-nuclear explosives safely to the English military. And if it wasn't hard enough, he has only 12 days to do it. With the assistance of a crochety marine (Robert Duvall), our hero must ski through the New Jersy Turnpike to return the hijacked CIA information safely to the Argentinian people. The Predicament turns sour as he figures out that his little sister (Angelina Jolie) has been kidnapped by the the villain. Added to the mix you see the screwball tomfoolery of a sass-talking black man (Chris Tucker) who when kidnapped by the evildoers says: "What kinda FUCKED up place is this?!?!" However this will prove difficult seeing that a nosy reporter (Al Pacino) has information regarding his sordid past. Just as the good guys are leaving on their perlious mission, they poorly lapse into a sing-along of Love that Dirty Water much to the chagrin of the PMRC . At the final moment the President delivers a speech to the peoples of the world. While this dramatic grandstanding unfolds he says: "When I took office, they never told me THIS would happen. This is the dawn of a new tomorrow." A CIA explosives specialist watching at home replies: "I just hope we're not too late." Coming next spring.
