The Plot... A cargo jet full of thermo-nuclear explosives has been pilfered by a lunatic with good intentions (Robert Vaughn). With the assistance of a government computer expert, the ATF hopes to reclaim the pilfered goods and get them back to their original owner. The ATF, with the aid of Nicholas Goodwinch (Ben Affleck), must ski through the jungle to return the borrowed nuclear warheads promptly to the American government. As if this wasn't enough, he has less than 5 minutes to do it. With the help of a leather-faced stick in the mud (Bruce Willis), the good guy must jet ski through the Sahara Desert to return the stolen government secrets safely to the Icelandic people. The Predicament turns sour as he figures out that his high school sweetheart (Nicole Kidman) has been working for the the villain. Also we have the loveable antics of a jive talkin' soul brother (Dave Chapelle) who when captured by the the bad guys says: "Y'all be trippin' or somethin', shit." However this won't be easy seeing that an old rival with a score to settle (Samuel L. Jackson) has information regarding his messy criminal record. Just as our hero are setting out on their perlious mission, they suddenly lapse into a sing-along of Werewolves of London much to the embarrassment of the CIA . In a stunning climax the President issues a speech to the peoples of the world. As this moment of truth unfolds he says: "Terrorism in all its diabolical forms will not be tolerated. Drop the bombs, Commander." An NCRP explosives specialist watching a TV in a store window retorts: "I just hope he's right."
