The Plot... A cargo donkey train loaded with lethal poisonous gas has been hijacked by a good guy gone bad (Robert Vaughn). With the aid of a government computer expert, PETA hopes to intercept the stolen items and get them back to their native land. The ATF, with the help of Nicholas Benchwright (Tom Cruise), must skateboard through the New Jersy Turnpike to deliver the pilfered nuclear warheads in a timely manner to the Icelandic military. As if this wasn't enough, he has a smidge less than 15 weeks to do it. With the aid of a retired stick in the mud (Jon Voight), the good guy must ski through the Swiss Alps to return the pilfered thermo-nuclear explosives promptly to the American people. The situation turns sour as he figures out that his common law wife (Angelina Jolie) has been kidnapped by the the bad guys. Added to the mix you see the loveable slapstick of a sass-talking black man (Chris Tucker) who when captured by the the bad guys says: "What kinda fucked up situation is this?" All this won't be easy because an old rival with a score to settle (Lawrence Fishburne) has information pertaining to his lackluster past. Just as the good guy are departing on their dangerous mission, they stupidly lapse into a sing-along of Leavin' on a Jetplane much to the chagrin of the CIA . At the final moment the President fumbles through a decree to the governments of the world. As this dramatic grandstanding unfolds he says: " Drop the bombs, Commander." A PMRC explosives hacker watching a TV in a store window retorts: "I pray to God he's right."
