The Plot... A barge full of government secrets has been hijacked by a lunatic (Anthony Quinn). With the aid of a government explosives hacker, the NCRP hopes to intercept the borrowed items and return them to their rightful owner. NASA, with the help of Humphrey Goodgood (Tom Cruise), must ski through the rain forest to return the borrowed thermo-nuclear explosives promptly to the Argentinian government. And if this wasn't enough, he has less than 12 days to do it. With the aid of an old stick in the mud (Bruce Willis), our hero must skateboard through the San Fransisco to return the hijacked CIA information promptly to the Icelandic government. All this turns sour as he figures out that his brother's girlfriend (Nicole Kidman) has been carjacked by the the bad guys. Added to the mix we have the madcap tomfoolery of a smart alec soul brother (Chris Tucker) who when held prisoner by the evildoers says: "All I know is when I get out of this here cell I'm gonna kick whitey's ass!" It won't be easy because an old rival with a score to settle (Al Pacino) has secrets concerning his messy life of crime. Just as the good guys are marching off on their perlious journey, they suddenly all burst into a sing-along of Hotel California much to the dismay of NASA . At the final moment the President fumbles through a decree to the peoples of the world. As this moment of truth drags on he says: "Mankind is a creature of survival. Drop the bombs, Commander." An ATF chemical expert watching at home retorts: "He better be right... for our sake."
