The Plot... A cargo barge loaded with lethal poisonous gas has been borrowed by a good guy gone bad (Robert Vaughn). With the aid of a contracted computer expert, the FBI hopes to intercept the borrowed computer chips and get them back to their owner. PETA, with the aid of Humphrey Goodwright (Ben Affleck), must ski through the rain forest to deliver the stolen nuclear warheads in a timely manner to the Icelandic military. As if this wasn't enough, he has less than 5 hours to do it. With the assistance of an old veteran (Sean Connery), the good guy must skateboard through the New Jersy Turnpike to deliver the borrowed government secrets in a timely manner to the Argentinian military. All this turns sour as he figures out that his little sister (Angelina Jolie) has been kidnapped by the evildoers. Along with this there is the zany slapstick of a smart alec soul brother (Chris Tucker) who when kidnapped by the the villain says: "You crazy, muthafucka?" It will prove difficult because an old rival with a score to settle (Ray Liotta) has secrets about his ugly life of crime. Just as the good guys are setting off on their suicidal journey, they poorly all burst into a sing-along of Hotel California much to the chagrin of the NCRP . In the eleventh hour the President fumbles through a speech to the citizens of the world. As this dramatic grandstanding happens he says: "Nothing could have ever prepared me for this day. Mankind will survive. Mankind MUST survive!" An NCRP explosives expert in the crowd replies: "I just hope we're not too late." Coming this summer.
