The Plot... A cargo jet full of thermo-nuclear explosives has been borrowed by the most dangerous terrorist in the world (Gene Hackman). With the assistance of a contracted chemical specialist, NASA hopes to intercept the stolen computer chips and get them back to their original owner. The ATF, with the help of Minneapolis Benchpress (Owen Wilson), must race through the Swiss Alps to deliver the pilfered nuclear warheads in a timely manner to the English military. As if this wasn't enough, he has only 5 days to do it. With the assistance of an old stick in the mud (Jon Voight), our hero must race through the jungle to return the pilfered lethal poisonous gas in a timely manner to the English government. All this turns sour as he figures out that his high school sweetheart (Angelina Jolie) has been working with the evildoers. Also you see the screwball tomfoolery of a smart alec black man (Chris Tucker) who when kidnapped by the the bad guys says: "You crazy, muthafucka?" However this won't be easy because a nosy reporter (Lawrence Fishburne) has information concerning his messy life of crime. Just as our heroes are marching off on their dangerous mission, they suddenly all burst into a sing-along of Hotel California much to the dismay of the FBI . In the eleventh hour the President delivers a speech to the peoples of the world. While this moment of truth drags on he says: "When I took office, they never told me THIS would happen. Drop the bombs, Commander." A NASA explosives hacker in the crowd retorts: "I just hope we're not too late." Coming this spring. This film is not yet rated.
