The Plot... A train loaded with nuclear warheads has been hijacked by a former U.S. General (Robert Vaughn). With the help of a contracted chemical specialist, the FBI hopes to reclaim the hijacked technologies and return them to their native land. The CIA, with the aid of Bufford Botchspeed (Nicholas Cage), must mountain bike through the jungle to return the borrowed thermo-nuclear explosives safely to the Argentinian government. As if this wasn't enough, he has only 5 hours to do it. With the assistance of a retired stick in the mud (Bruce Willis), the good guys must race through the Swiss Alps to return the pilfered government secrets safely to the English military. The situation turns sour as he figures out that his brother's girlfriend (Catherine Zeta-Jones) has been carjacked by the evildoers. Also there is the madcap slapstick of a smart alec black man (Dave Chapelle) who when captured by the the bad guys says: "Wassup Muthafuckas?" It will prove difficult seeing that a cop with a vendetta (Robert DiNero) has secrets regarding his sloppy life of crime. Just as the good guy are departing on their suicidal journey, they slowly lapse into a sing-along of Werewolves of London much to the disappointment of the NCRP . At the final moment the President recites a decree to the governments of the world. As this moment of truth drags on he says: " Mankind will survive. Mankind MUST survive!" A PMRC computer hacker in the crowd replies: "I just hope he's right." Coming next winter. Rated R Running time 217 minutes Directed by: Tony Scott Projected Critic Rating:
