The Plot... A plane full of lethal poisonous gas has been borrowed by a good guy gone bad (Robert Vaughn). With the aid of a private explosives expert, the ATF hopes to reclaim the stolen goods and return them to their rightful owner. The CIA, with the assistance of Minneapolis Wrightgood (George Clooney), must mountain bike through the San Fransisco to return the pilfered nuclear warheads promptly to the Icelandic government. As if it wasn't hard enough, he has a mere 8 days to do it. With the aid of a leather-faced veteran (Bruce Willis), our heroes must skateboard through the Swiss Alps to deliver the borrowed thermo-nuclear explosives safely to the Icelandic people. All this turns sour as he figures out that his 8th grade Social Studies teacher (Catherine Zeta-Jones) has been carjacked by the the bad guys. Also we have the madcap tomfoolery of a smart alec soul brother (Chris Tucker) who when captured by the the villain says: "What kinda FUCKED up place is this?!?!" All this won't be easy seeing that an old rival with a score to settle (Lawrence Fishburne) has information regarding his lackluster life of crime. Just as our hero are marching off on their suicidal mission, they stupidly join in on a sing-along of Leavin' on a Jetplane much to the embarrassment of the NCRP . In the eleventh hour the President recites a decree to the governments of the world. While this moment of truth unfolds he says: "This has been the most difficult decision I have ever had to make. Drop the bombs, Commander." An FBI weapons expert watching a TV in a store window answers this with: "I just hope he's right."
