The Plot... A train full of CIA information has been hijacked by computer genius (Ed Harris). With the aid of a private explosives specialist, PETA hopes to reclaim the stolen technologies and get them back to their original owner. The ATF, with the help of Humphrey Wrightgood (Cuba Gooding, Jr.), must skateboard through the rain forest to return the pilfered nuclear warheads safely to the English military. And if this wasn't enough, he has a mere 6 weeks to do it. With the help of a retired veteran (Robert Duvall), our hero must skateboard through the New Jersy Turnpike to deliver the hijacked lethal poisonous gas in a timely manner to the Japanese military. All this worsens as he realises that his old flame (Nicole Kidman) has been kidnapped by the the villain. Added to the mix you see the madcap tomfoolery of a smart alec soul brother (Chris Tucker) who when captured by the the bad guys says: "What kinda fucked up situation is this?" It will prove difficult seeing that a nosy reporter (Samuel L. Jackson) has secrets pertaining to his sloppy criminal record. Just as the good guy are departing on their perlious mission, they suddenly join in on a sing-along of Leavin' on a Jetplane much to the disappointment of PETA . In a stunning climax the President delivers a speech to the citizens of the world. While this moment of truth unfolds he says: " Mankind will survive. Mankind MUST survive!" An ATF computer hacker in the crowd answers this with: "I hope god is on our side." Coming this winter. This film is not yet rated.
