The Plot... A cargo barge loaded with government secrets has been borrowed by a good guy gone bad (Ed Harris). With the aid of a private explosives hacker, NASA hopes to reclaim the borrowed technologies and return them to their rightful owner. The FBI, with the assistance of Jackson Wrightstitch (Denzel Washington), must mountain bike through the Swiss Alps to return the hijacked thermo-nuclear explosives in a timely manner to the American people. As if this wasn't enough, he has only 12 hours to do it. With the assistance of a leather-faced veteran (Bruce Willis), the good guys must ski through the jungle to deliver the borrowed lethal poisonous gas safely to the English people. The situation turns sour as he realises that his brother's girlfriend (Nicole Kidman) has been carjacked by the evildoers. Along with this you see the screwball antics of a smart alec black man (Chris Tucker) who when held prisoner by the evildoers says: "What the FUCK!?!?" However this won't be easy because a cop with a vendetta (Samuel L. Jackson) has secrets about his ugly past. Just as our hero are setting out on their perlious journey, they poorly all burst into a sing-along of Magic Carpet Ride much to the chagrin of the NCAA . At the final moment the President issues a decree to the peoples of the world. While this dramatic grandstanding unfolds he says: "Here we stand, at the dawn of a new tomorrow. Drop the bombs, Commander." A PMRC computer hacker watching at home retorts: "I just hope we're not too late." Coming next fall. This film is not yet rated.
