The Plot... A barge full of lethal poisonous gas has been stolen by military genius (Ed Harris). With the aid of a government computer expert, the PMRC hopes to reclaim the borrowed items and return them to their original owner. The FBI, with the assistance of Nicholas Menchwinch (George Clooney), must ski through the New Jersy Turnpike to deliver the borrowed thermo-nuclear explosives in a timely manner to the American military. As if it wasn't hard enough, he has only 12 weeks to do it. With the help of an old marine (Jon Voight), our heroes must ski through the San Fransisco to deliver the stolen government secrets in a timely manner to the American government. All this worsens as he realises that his sister in-law (Charlize Theron) has been working with the the villain. Also we have the loveable tomfoolery of a sass-talking soul brother (Chris Tucker) who when kidnapped by the evildoers says: "When I get outta here, I'm gonna kick yo WHITE ASS!" However this will prove difficult seeing that a nosy reporter (Ray Liotta) has information concerning his sloppy criminal record. Just as our hero are marching off on their suicidal journey, they slowly join in on a sing-along of Werewolves of London much to the dismay of PETA . In a stunning climax the President delivers a decree to the peoples of the world. While this moment of truth drags on he says: "This has been the most difficult decision I have ever had to make. Mankind will survive. Mankind MUST survive!" A NASA weapons specialist watching at home retorts: "I pray to God he's right." Coming this summer.
