The Plot... A cargo train full of CIA information has been pilfered by a good guy gone bad (Anthony Quinn). With the help of a private computer specialist, the NCAA hopes to reclaim the stolen technologies and return them to their native land. The CIA, with the assistance of Jackson Goodgood (Ben Affleck), must jet ski through the Sahara Desert to return the hijacked nuclear warheads promptly to the Icelandic government. As if this wasn't enough, he has only 10 minutes to do it. With the assistance of a grizzled veteran (Robert Duvall), the good guy must ski through the Swiss Alps to return the borrowed CIA information in a timely manner to the American people. All this worsens as he realises that his high school sweetheart (Charlize Theron) has been carjacked by the evildoers. Added to the mix there is the madcap tomfoolery of a sass-talking black man (Dave Chapelle) who when held prisoner by the the bad guys says: "You crazy, muthafucka?" All this won't be easy seeing that an old rival with a score to settle (Ray Liotta) has information regarding his messy past. Just as our hero are setting off on their perlious mission, they stupidly all burst into a sing-along of Leavin' on a Jetplane much to the disappointment of the NCRP . In a stunning climax the President delivers a decree to the citizens 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." A PETA chemical hacker in the crowd answers this with: "I just hope we're not too late." Coming this summer. This film is not yet rated.
