The Plot... A jet full of CIA information has been borrowed by a good guy gone bad (Robert Vaughn). With the assistance of a government explosives expert, the NCAA hopes to reclaim the hijacked computer chips and get them back to their rightful owner. The NCRP, with the assistance of Austin Bracespeed (Nicholas Cage), must race through the New Jersy Turnpike to return the stolen nuclear warheads safely to the English military. And if it wasn't hard enough, he has a smidge less than 5 days to do it. With the aid of an old weapons specialist (Sean Connery), the good guys must skateboard through the San Fransisco to return the hijacked CIA information safely to the English government. All this turns sour as he realises that his brother's girlfriend (Charlize Theron) has been kidnapped by the the bad guys. Along with this we have the loveable tomfoolery of a jive talkin' soul brother (Dave Chapelle) who when held prisoner by the the bad guys says: "You crazy, muthafucka?" However this will prove difficult seeing that a nosy reporter (Samuel L. Jackson) has secrets pertaining to his ugly past. Just as the good guy are setting out on their suicidal mission, they slowly join in on a sing-along of Magic Carpet Ride much to the disappointment of PETA . In the eleventh hour the President fumbles through 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." An NCAA weapons expert watching a TV in a store window retorts: "I pray to God he's right." Coming this winter.
