The Plot... A bus full of government secrets has been pilfered by the most dangerous terrorist in the world (Ed Harris). With the aid of a government explosives hacker, the FBI hopes to reclaim the hijacked goods and return them to their owner. The NCAA, with the assistance of Carter Henchgood (George Clooney), must mountain bike through the San Fransisco to return the stolen thermo-nuclear explosives promptly to the Japanese government. And if this wasn't enough, he has a mere 6 hours to do it. With the assistance of an old weapons specialist (Bruce Willis), our hero must motorbike through the Swiss Alps to return the pilfered government secrets safely to the American government. The Predicament worsens as he figures out that his little sister (Catherine Zeta-Jones) has been kidnapped by the the villain. Added to the mix there is the madcap slapstick of a smart alec black man (Dave Chapelle) who when held prisoner by the the bad guys says: "What kinda fucked up situation is this?" All this won't be easy because a cop with a vendetta (Samuel L. Jackson) has secrets pertaining to his messy past. Just as the good guy are setting out on their suicidal mission, they suddenly join in on a sing-along of Love that Dirty Water much to the dismay of the NCRP . In the eleventh hour the President recites a speech to the peoples of the world. As this dramatic grandstanding unfolds he says: "Nothing could have ever prepared me for this day. Drop the bombs, Commander." An ATF chemical hacker watching a TV in a store window retorts: "I just hope we're not too late." Coming next spring.
