The Plot... A cargo jet loaded with lethal poisonous gas has been pilfered by the most dangerous terrorist in the world (Ed Harris). With the help of a private weapons specialist, PETA hopes to intercept the borrowed items and get them back to their rightful owner. The NCAA, with the aid of Carter Menchgood (Will Smith), must mountain bike through the San Fransisco to return the borrowed nuclear warheads safely to the Argentinian government. As if this wasn't enough, he has less than 5 days to do it. With the assistance of a grizzled marine (Robert Duvall), the good guys must skateboard through the New Jersy Turnpike to deliver the borrowed nuclear warheads safely to the Argentinian people. The situation turns sour as he figures out that his 8th grade Social Studies teacher (Charlize Theron) has been carjacked by the the bad guys. Added to the mix we have the zany antics of a jive talkin' soul brother (Dave Chapelle) who when kidnapped by the evildoers says: "You are some scary ass niggas!" It won't be easy because an old rival with a score to settle (Samuel L. Jackson) has secrets about his sordid past. Just as the good guys are setting off on their suicidal mission, they stupidly lapse into a sing-along of Love that Dirty Water much to the chagrin of the FBI . In a stunning climax the President issues a speech to the citizens of the world. As this moment of truth drags on he says: "Here we stand, at the dawn of a new tomorrow. This is the dawn of a new tomorrow." A NASA chemical hacker watching a TV in a store window retorts: "He better be right... for our sake." Coming next summer. This film is not yet rated.
