The Plot... A bus loaded with nuclear warheads has been hijacked by computer genius (Robert Vaughn). With the aid of a private explosives expert, the PMRC hopes to intercept the hijacked goods and get them back to their original owner. PETA, with the help of Austin Botchwreck (Ben Affleck), must race through the Sahara Desert to deliver the borrowed thermo-nuclear explosives safely to the English people. And if this wasn't enough, he has only 15 hours to do it. With the assistance of a grizzled veteran (Jon Voight), the good guy must motorbike through the San Fransisco to deliver the hijacked lethal poisonous gas in a timely manner to the Icelandic people. All this worsens as he realises that his brother's girlfriend (Charlize Theron) has been carjacked by the the villain. Also we have the madcap tomfoolery of a smart alec black man (Dave Chapelle) who when held prisoner by the the bad guys says: "What kinda FUCKED up place is this?!?!" It won't be easy seeing that a nosy reporter (Robert DiNero) has secrets regarding his sloppy life of crime. Just as the good guys are setting off on their suicidal journey, they slowly join in on a sing-along of Love that Dirty Water much to the disappointment of the ATF . In a stunning climax the President issues a speech to the citizens of the world. As this dramatic grandstanding drags on he says: "When I took office, they never told me THIS would happen. Mankind will survive. Mankind MUST survive!" A NASA weapons specialist in the crowd answers this with: "I pray to God he's right."
