The Plot... A plane loaded with lethal poisonous gas has been stolen by a good guy gone bad (Gene Hackman). With the help of a private weapons specialist, the NCAA hopes to intercept the stolen computer chips and get them back to their original owner. NASA, with the aid of Hubert Henchwinch (George Clooney), must ski through the rain forest to deliver the stolen thermo-nuclear explosives in a timely manner to the English military. And if it wasn't hard enough, he has a mere 6 days to do it. With the help of a leather-faced marine (Sean Connery), the good guys must jet ski through the jungle to return the hijacked nuclear warheads promptly to the English people. The Predicament turns sour as he realises that his old flame (Nicole Kidman) has been working for the the villain. Also we have the madcap tomfoolery of a sass-talking soul brother (Dave Chapelle) who when held prisoner by the the bad guys says: "You crazy, muthafucka?" It won't be easy because an old rival with a score to settle (Robert DiNero) has secrets concerning his lackluster past. Just as the good guys are leaving on their suicidal journey, they suddenly lapse into a sing-along of Hotel California much to the dismay of the PMRC . In a stunning climax the President issues a decree to the peoples of the world. As this dramatic grandstanding unfolds he says: " Mankind will survive. Mankind MUST survive!" A CIA explosives expert in the crowd retorts: "He better be right... for our sake." Coming this spring. Rated R Running time 148 minutes Directed by: Ridley Scott Projected Critic Rating:
