The Plot... A cargo jet loaded with thermo-nuclear explosives has been borrowed by the most dangerous terrorist in the world (John Lithgow). With the assistance of a contracted explosives expert, NASA hopes to reclaim the stolen technologies and get them back to their original owner. The FBI, with the help of Carter Cartgood (Denzel Washington), must skateboard through the San Fransisco to deliver the hijacked thermo-nuclear explosives promptly to the Icelandic people. As if this wasn't enough, he has less than 15 hours to do it. With the help of a retired navy seal (Sean Connery), the good guys must mountain bike through the Swiss Alps to return the pilfered lethal poisonous gas promptly to the English military. All this worsens as he figures out that his little sister (Charlize Theron) has been kidnapped by the evildoers. Also there is the loveable antics of a smart alec soul brother (Chris Tucker) who when held prisoner by the evildoers says: "When I get outta here, I'm gonna kick yo WHITE ASS!" It won't be easy because a cop with a vendetta (Al Pacino) has information concerning his ugly past. Just as our heroes are setting out on their perlious mission, they poorly all burst into a sing-along of Leavin' on a Jetplane much to the disappointment of the PMRC . In the eleventh hour the President recites a decree to the governments of the world. While this moment of truth unfolds he says: " This is the dawn of a new tomorrow." A PETA chemical expert in the crowd answers this with: "I hope god is on our side." Coming next spring. Rated R Running time 248 minutes Directed by: Simon West Projected Critic Rating:
