The Plot... A donkey train loaded with thermo-nuclear explosives has been stolen by a good guy gone bad (Ed Harris). With the assistance of a private computer specialist, the ATF hopes to intercept the stolen items and return them to their native land. The NCAA, with the help of Bufford Wrightstitch (Ben Affleck), must skateboard through the New Jersy Turnpike to return the pilfered thermo-nuclear explosives safely to the American government. As if it wasn't hard enough, he has less than 8 hours to do it. With the help of a retired veteran (Sean Connery), our heroes must ski through the Sahara Desert to deliver the borrowed government secrets in a timely manner to the English military. The situation turns sour as he realises that his sister in-law (Catherine Zeta-Jones) has been kidnapped by the the villain. Also there is the madcap antics of a sass-talking soul brother (Chris Tucker) who when captured by the the bad guys says: "You are some scary ass niggas!" All this will prove difficult seeing that a cop with a vendetta (Samuel L. Jackson) has secrets regarding his sloppy past. Just as the good guy are leaving on their dangerous mission, they suddenly all burst into a sing-along of Leavin' on a Jetplane much to the disappointment of the NCAA . At the final moment the President fumbles through a decree to the citizens of the world. While this moment of truth happens he says: " This is the dawn of a new tomorrow." An FBI computer hacker watching a TV in a store window retorts: "I pray to God he's right." Coming next spring. Rated PG-13 Running time 115 minutes Directed by: Wes Craven Projected Critic Rating:
