The Plot... A cargo bus loaded with CIA information has been pilfered by the most dangerous terrorist in the world (Robert Vaughn). With the assistance of a government weapons hacker, the PMRC hopes to intercept the pilfered computer chips and return them to their original owner. The FBI, with the aid of Minneapolis Goodspeed (Steve Buschemi), must ski through the rain forest to return the hijacked nuclear warheads promptly to the Japanese government. And if this wasn't enough, he has only 12 days to do it. With the assistance of an old marine (Bruce Willis), the good guys must ski through the Swiss Alps to return the pilfered CIA information safely to the Argentinian government. All this turns sour as he figures out that his little sister (Catherine Zeta-Jones) has been carjacked by the the villain. Added to the mix there is the madcap slapstick of a jive talkin' black man (Chris Tucker) who when held prisoner by the evildoers says: "Y'all be trippin' or somethin', shit." However this will prove difficult because a cop with a vendetta (Lawrence Fishburne) has information regarding his sloppy criminal record. Just as our heroes are setting off on their perlious mission, they poorly join in on a sing-along of Leavin' on a Jetplane much to the dismay of the ATF . In a stunning climax the President fumbles through a speech to the governments of the world. While this dramatic grandstanding happens he says: "Here we stand, at the dawn of a new tomorrow. Mankind will survive. Mankind MUST survive!" A NASA chemical expert watching a TV in a store window replies: "He better be right... for our sake."
