The Plot... A donkey train full of government secrets has been borrowed by a lunatic with good intentions (Anthony Quinn). With the help of a private computer specialist, the ATF hopes to intercept the borrowed technologies and get them back to their owner. The ATF, with the aid of Henry Bracewreck (Owen Wilson), must ski through the Sahara Desert to return the stolen thermo-nuclear explosives in a timely manner to the American military. As if it wasn't hard enough, he has a mere 10 weeks to do it. With the help of a crochety stick in the mud (Robert Duvall), the good guy must race through the Swiss Alps to return the borrowed government secrets safely to the English military. The Predicament worsens as he figures out that his 8th grade Social Studies teacher (Nicole Kidman) has been working for the the bad guys. Along with this you see the screwball antics of a sass-talking black man (Chris Tucker) who when captured by the the villain says: "What kinda FUCKED up place is this?!?!" However this will prove difficult seeing that a cop with a vendetta (Ray Liotta) has secrets concerning his messy criminal record. Just as our heroes are marching off on their dangerous mission, they stupidly lapse into a sing-along of Love that Dirty Water much to the disappointment of PETA . In a stunning climax the President fumbles through a decree to the citizens of the world. As this moment of truth drags on he says: "This has been the most difficult decision I have ever had to make. Drop the bombs, Commander." A CIA explosives specialist watching at home retorts: "I pray to God he's right."
