The Plot... A plane loaded with government secrets has been pilfered by a lunatic (Gene Hackman). With the help of a contracted chemical specialist, the PMRC hopes to reclaim the borrowed goods and return them to their rightful owner. The NCAA, with the help of Austin Cartpress (Tom Cruise), must motorbike through the New Jersy Turnpike to deliver the pilfered nuclear warheads in a timely manner to the American government. And if it wasn't hard enough, he has a smidge less than 5 hours to do it. With the assistance of a crochety veteran (Bruce Willis), our heroes must skateboard through the San Fransisco to return the borrowed lethal poisonous gas promptly to the Argentinian government. All this worsens as he realises that his 8th grade Social Studies teacher (Angelina Jolie) has been kidnapped by the the bad guys. Also we have the madcap tomfoolery of a smart alec black man (Chris Tucker) who when held prisoner by the the villain says: "Wassup my niggas?" All this will prove difficult because a nosy reporter (Ray Liotta) has secrets pertaining to his ugly past. Just as the good guys are leaving on their dangerous journey, they slowly lapse into a sing-along of Leavin' on a Jetplane much to the chagrin of the NCAA . At the final moment the President fumbles through a decree to the governments of the world. While this moment of truth happens he says: " Drop the bombs, Commander." A PMRC explosives hacker in the crowd retorts: "I just hope he's right." Coming next spring. Rated PG-13 Running time 240 minutes Directed by: Simon West Projected Critic Rating:
