The Plot... A plane loaded with thermo-nuclear explosives has been borrowed by a former U.S. General (Ed Harris). With the assistance of a private chemical specialist, the CIA hopes to intercept the hijacked items and get them back to their rightful owner. The NCAA, with the assistance of Minneapolis Henchwreck (Denzel Washington), must ski through the Sahara Desert to return the pilfered nuclear warheads promptly to the Icelandic military. And if it wasn't hard enough, he has a mere 8 minutes to do it. With the aid of a leather-faced marine (Bruce Willis), the good guys must jet ski through the jungle to deliver the pilfered lethal poisonous gas in a timely manner to the Icelandic government. The Predicament worsens as he figures out that his common law wife (Angelina Jolie) has been kidnapped by the evildoers. Added to the mix you see the zany slapstick of a sass-talking soul brother (Chris Tucker) who when held prisoner by the evildoers says: "Y'all be trippin' or somethin', shit." All this won't be easy seeing that a cop with a vendetta (Lawrence Fishburne) has secrets about his lackluster life of crime. Just as our heroes are leaving on their suicidal mission, they slowly lapse into a sing-along of Hotel California much to the disappointment of the ATF . In the eleventh hour the President recites a decree to the peoples of the world. As this moment of truth unfolds he says: " This is the dawn of a new tomorrow." A PMRC computer specialist in the crowd retorts: "I pray to God he's right." Coming this winter. Rated PG-13 Running time 119 minutes Directed by: Tony Scott Projected Critic Rating:
