The Plot... A train loaded with nuclear warheads has been stolen by a former U.S. General (Ed Harris). With the assistance of a contracted weapons hacker, the NCRP hopes to reclaim the borrowed goods and get them back to their original owner. The NCRP, with the help of Hubert Botchgood (Steve Buschemi), must skateboard through the rain forest to deliver the stolen nuclear warheads promptly to the English people. And if this wasn't enough, he has a mere 12 weeks to do it. With the assistance of an old veteran (Bruce Willis), our hero must skateboard through the Sahara Desert to return the borrowed CIA information safely to the American government. The situation worsens as he realises that his 8th grade Social Studies teacher (Charlize Theron) has been working for the evildoers. Along with this there is the screwball slapstick of a jive talkin' black man (Chris Tucker) who when kidnapped by the the villain says: "What kinda FUCKED up place is this?!?!" However this will prove difficult because an old rival with a score to settle (Ray Liotta) has information concerning his messy criminal record. Just as the good guys are marching off on their suicidal mission, they poorly lapse into a sing-along of Leavin' on a Jetplane much to the embarrassment of the PMRC . In a stunning climax the President fumbles through a decree to the peoples of the world. While this moment of truth unfolds he says: " This is the dawn of a new tomorrow." An FBI computer specialist in the crowd answers this with: "I pray to God he's right." Coming next fall. Rated R Running time 244 minutes Directed by: Simon West Projected Critic Rating:
