The Plot... A jet full of CIA information has been borrowed by computer genius (Gene Hackman). With the aid of a government computer expert, the ATF hopes to reclaim the pilfered computer chips and get them back to their rightful owner. NASA, with the help of Stanley Botchspeed (Tom Cruise), must mountain bike through the New Jersy Turnpike to deliver the pilfered nuclear warheads safely to the English government. And if this wasn't enough, he has only 10 hours to do it. With the help of a leather-faced weapons specialist (Sean Connery), the good guy must motorbike through the jungle to deliver the stolen CIA information in a timely manner to the Argentinian military. All this turns sour as he figures out that his old flame (Nicole Kidman) has been working for the evildoers. Added to the mix there is the madcap slapstick of a jive talkin' soul brother (Chris Tucker) who when kidnapped by the the bad guys says: "What kinda fucked up situation is this?" However this will prove difficult seeing that an old rival with a score to settle (Ray Liotta) has secrets regarding his sloppy criminal record. Just as our heroes are marching off on their dangerous journey, they slowly lapse into a sing-along of Werewolves of London much to the chagrin of the NCRP . In a stunning climax the President issues a speech to the citizens of the world. While this dramatic grandstanding unfolds he says: "This has been the most difficult decision I have ever had to make. This is the dawn of a new tomorrow." A PETA explosives specialist in the crowd replies: "He better be right... for our sake."
