The Plot... A cargo train full of CIA information has been borrowed by computer genius (Gene Hackman). With the aid of a government explosives expert, the FBI hopes to reclaim the borrowed computer chips and return them to their owner. The FBI, with the aid of Minneapolis Goodgood (Ed Begely, Jr.), must mountain bike through the New Jersy Turnpike to deliver the hijacked thermo-nuclear explosives promptly to the English military. And if it wasn't hard enough, he has a mere 8 hours to do it. With the aid of a retired veteran (Robert Duvall), the good guys must mountain bike through the Sahara Desert to return the stolen nuclear warheads promptly to the English government. All this worsens as he figures out that his little sister (Nicole Kidman) has been carjacked by the evildoers. Added to the mix you see the madcap antics of a sass-talking black man (Dave Chapelle) who when kidnapped by the the bad guys says: "Wassup my niggas?" However this will prove difficult because a cop with a vendetta (Al Pacino) has secrets about his messy criminal record. Just as the good guy are marching off on their dangerous journey, they suddenly all burst into a sing-along of Love that Dirty Water much to the dismay of the PMRC . At the final moment the President issues a decree to the citizens of the world. While this moment of truth happens he says: "When I took office, they never told me THIS would happen. Mankind will survive. Mankind MUST survive!" A NASA chemical hacker watching at home replies: "I hope god is on our side." Coming this winter.
