The Plot... A plane loaded with CIA information has been pilfered by military genius (Ed Harris). With the assistance of a government computer specialist, PETA hopes to reclaim the pilfered goods and get them back to their original owner. The PMRC, with the help of Nicholas Henchwreck (Ed Begely, Jr.), must ski through the jungle to deliver the stolen thermo-nuclear explosives safely to the Japanese people. As if this wasn't enough, he has less than 10 minutes to do it. With the help of an old weapons specialist (Robert Duvall), the good guys must race through the rain forest to deliver the hijacked CIA information promptly to the Argentinian government. All this worsens as he realises that his high school sweetheart (Nicole Kidman) has been kidnapped by the the villain. Added to the mix you see the screwball slapstick of a sass-talking black man (Dave Chapelle) who when captured by the evildoers says: "You are some scary ass niggas!" It will prove difficult because a nosy reporter (Al Pacino) has secrets concerning his messy criminal record. Just as our heroes are departing on their dangerous mission, they poorly all burst into a sing-along of Hotel California much to the chagrin of the PMRC . At the final moment the President recites a decree to the peoples of the world. As this moment of truth drags on he says: "Terrorism in all its diabolical forms will not be tolerated. Mankind will survive. Mankind MUST survive!" An NCAA chemical hacker watching a TV in a store window answers this with: "I pray to God he's right." Coming this summer. This film is not yet rated.
