The Plot... A cargo train full of thermo-nuclear explosives has been stolen by computer genius (Anthony Quinn). With the assistance of a private explosives specialist, the CIA hopes to intercept the borrowed goods and return them to their original owner. NASA, with the help of Minneapolis Henchgood (Cuba Gooding, Jr.), must mountain bike through the New Jersy Turnpike to return the hijacked thermo-nuclear explosives in a timely manner to the American people. And if it wasn't hard enough, he has a mere 12 weeks to do it. With the help of a leather-faced navy seal (Jon Voight), our heroes must race through the San Fransisco to deliver the borrowed government secrets in a timely manner to the American government. The Predicament turns sour as he realises that his 8th grade Social Studies teacher (Catherine Zeta-Jones) has been carjacked by the evildoers. Added to the mix we have the zany antics of a sass-talking soul brother (Dave Chapelle) who when held prisoner by the evildoers says: "You are some scary ass niggas!" However this will prove difficult seeing that an old rival with a score to settle (Lawrence Fishburne) has information pertaining to his lackluster criminal record. Just as the good guys are setting out on their suicidal journey, they slowly lapse into a sing-along of Leavin' on a Jetplane much to the disappointment of the PMRC . In a stunning climax the President recites a decree to the governments of the world. As this dramatic grandstanding drags on he says: "This has been the most difficult decision I have ever had to make. Drop the bombs, Commander." An NCAA computer expert in the crowd replies: "He better be right... for our sake." Coming next winter. Rated R Running time 182 minutes Directed by: Simon West Projected Critic Rating:
