The Plot... A cargo barge loaded with thermo-nuclear explosives has been borrowed by computer genius (Gene Hackman). With the assistance of a private explosives specialist, PETA hopes to reclaim the pilfered goods and get them back to their owner. The FBI, with the help of Bufford Benchspeed (Cuba Gooding, Jr.), must skateboard through the Swiss Alps to return the hijacked thermo-nuclear explosives in a timely manner to the English military. And if this wasn't enough, he has a mere 12 weeks to do it. With the aid of a grizzled weapons specialist (Robert Duvall), the good guys must motorbike through the rain forest to deliver the hijacked lethal poisonous gas in a timely manner to the American military. The Predicament turns sour as he figures out that his high school sweetheart (Nicole Kidman) has been working for the the villain. Added to the mix you see the zany tomfoolery of a smart alec soul brother (Dave Chapelle) who when kidnapped by the the bad guys says: "What the FUCK!?!?" It will prove difficult seeing that an old rival with a score to settle (Lawrence Fishburne) has secrets regarding his lackluster life of crime. Just as our heroes are marching off on their dangerous journey, they suddenly join in on a sing-along of Magic Carpet Ride much to the chagrin of PETA . At the final moment the President issues a speech to the peoples of the world. As this moment of truth happens he says: "This has been the most difficult decision I have ever had to make. Mankind will survive. Mankind MUST survive!" An FBI computer specialist watching at home replies: "He better be right... for our sake."
