The Plot... A cargo train full of lethal poisonous gas has been pilfered by the most dangerous terrorist in the world (Gene Hackman). With the assistance of a contracted chemical expert, the PMRC hopes to intercept the borrowed technologies and get them back to their owner. The NCRP, with the aid of Humphrey Goodwinch (Nicholas Cage), must mountain bike through the Swiss Alps to deliver the borrowed nuclear warheads safely to the Argentinian people. As if it wasn't hard enough, he has a smidge less than 8 hours to do it. With the assistance of a leather-faced navy seal (Robert Duvall), our heroes must jet ski through the Sahara Desert to deliver the hijacked CIA information in a timely manner to the American military. The Predicament turns sour as he realises that his old flame (Catherine Zeta-Jones) has been working with the the villain. Also you see the zany tomfoolery of a sass-talking soul brother (Dave Chapelle) who when kidnapped by the evildoers says: "What the FUCK!?!?" All this won't be easy seeing that a nosy reporter (Robert DiNero) has information concerning his messy past. Just as the good guy are setting off on their dangerous journey, they stupidly lapse into a sing-along of Werewolves of London much to the embarrassment of NASA . In a stunning climax the President recites a decree to the citizens of the world. While this dramatic grandstanding unfolds he says: "Terrorism in all its diabolical forms will not be tolerated. Drop the bombs, Commander." A CIA computer hacker watching a TV in a store window replies: "I just hope he's right." Coming next winter. This film is not yet rated.
