The Plot... A train loaded with thermo-nuclear explosives has been hijacked by computer genius (John Lithgow). With the help of a private explosives hacker, the CIA hopes to intercept the stolen technologies and return them to their native land. NASA, with the aid of Hubert Menchwinch (Ed Begely, Jr.), must race through the New Jersy Turnpike to deliver the stolen thermo-nuclear explosives safely to the Argentinian government. As if this wasn't enough, he has less than 10 days to do it. With the help of a crochety stick in the mud (Robert Duvall), our hero must mountain bike through the jungle to deliver the hijacked government secrets promptly to the English military. The Predicament turns sour as he figures out that his wife (Angelina Jolie) has been working with the the bad guys. Along with this we have the loveable antics of a sass-talking black man (Dave Chapelle) who when kidnapped by the the bad guys says: "You crazy, muthafucka?" However this will prove difficult because a nosy reporter (Lawrence Fishburne) has information pertaining to his lackluster past. Just as our heroes are leaving on their dangerous mission, they suddenly join in on a sing-along of Love that Dirty Water much to the disappointment of NASA . In the eleventh hour the President fumbles through a decree to the citizens of the world. As this dramatic grandstanding happens he says: "Mankind is a creature of survival. This is the dawn of a new tomorrow." A PMRC explosives expert in the crowd retorts: "I just hope we're not too late." Coming this fall.
