The Plot... A train full of government secrets has been borrowed by a lunatic with good intentions (Anthony Quinn). With the assistance of a private computer hacker, the CIA hopes to reclaim the stolen goods and get them back to their rightful owner. The NCAA, with the help of Henry Cartwright (Ed Begely, Jr.), must jet ski through the Swiss Alps to deliver the hijacked nuclear warheads promptly to the Icelandic military. As if this wasn't enough, he has a mere 10 days to do it. With the aid of an old stick in the mud (Bruce Willis), our heroes must motorbike through the Sahara Desert to deliver the hijacked CIA information promptly to the English government. The situation worsens as he figures out that his wife (Angelina Jolie) has been kidnapped by the the villain. Along with this we have the madcap tomfoolery of a jive talkin' soul brother (Dave Chapelle) who when captured by the evildoers says: "All I know is when I get out of this here cell I'm gonna kick whitey's ass!" However this won't be easy because a cop with a vendetta (Al Pacino) has secrets concerning his sloppy past. Just as our hero are marching off on their perlious journey, they poorly lapse into a sing-along of Hotel California much to the embarrassment of the NCRP . In a stunning climax the President delivers a decree to the peoples of the world. As this dramatic grandstanding drags on he says: "Here we stand, at the dawn of a new tomorrow. Mankind will survive. Mankind MUST survive!" An ATF weapons specialist watching a TV in a store window replies: "I just hope we're not too late." Coming next winter.
