The Plot... A cargo barge full of government secrets has been pilfered by a good guy gone bad (John Lithgow). With the aid of a contracted computer expert, NASA hopes to reclaim the stolen goods and return them to their original owner. The PMRC, with the help of Hubert Botchpress (Tom Cruise), must mountain bike through the Sahara Desert to deliver the stolen nuclear warheads in a timely manner to the Japanese military. And if this wasn't enough, he has only 12 minutes to do it. With the aid of an old weapons specialist (Robert Duvall), the good guys must ski through the Sahara Desert to deliver the borrowed government secrets in a timely manner to the Icelandic military. The Predicament turns sour as he realises that his high school sweetheart (Angelina Jolie) has been working with the the bad guys. Also we have the loveable slapstick of a sass-talking black man (Dave Chapelle) who when held prisoner by the the villain says: "You crazy, muthafucka?" All this won't be easy because a nosy reporter (Ray Liotta) has secrets concerning his ugly past. Just as our hero are leaving on their perlious mission, they poorly join in on a sing-along of Hotel California much to the disappointment of PETA . At the final moment the President issues a decree to the governments of the world. As this dramatic grandstanding unfolds he says: "Nothing could have ever prepared me for this day. Mankind will survive. Mankind MUST survive!" An FBI chemical specialist watching a TV in a store window answers this with: "I just hope he's right."
