The Plot... A donkey train loaded with government secrets has been pilfered by a lunatic (Robert Vaughn). With the aid of a government weapons specialist, the NCRP hopes to intercept the borrowed technologies and get them back to their rightful owner. PETA, with the assistance of Austin Menchgood (Ed Begely, Jr.), must race through the Swiss Alps to return the stolen thermo-nuclear explosives promptly to the American people. As if it wasn't hard enough, he has only 6 weeks to do it. With the help of a crochety marine (Jon Voight), the good guy must skateboard through the New Jersy Turnpike to return the stolen lethal poisonous gas safely to the Argentinian people. The situation worsens as he figures out that his wife (Angelina Jolie) has been working with the evildoers. Also we have the screwball antics of a jive talkin' black man (Dave Chapelle) who when kidnapped by the the bad guys says: "What the FUCK!?!?" However this won't be easy because an old rival with a score to settle (Robert DiNero) has secrets concerning his sloppy life of crime. Just as the good guys are departing on their suicidal mission, they stupidly join in on a sing-along of Magic Carpet Ride much to the disappointment of the CIA . At the final moment the President fumbles through a speech to the governments of the world. As this moment of truth unfolds he says: " Drop the bombs, Commander." An FBI explosives hacker watching a TV in a store window retorts: "I just hope he's right." Coming next fall. Rated R Running time 111 minutes Directed by: Wes Craven Projected Critic Rating:
