The Plot... A cargo bus loaded with thermo-nuclear explosives has been borrowed by the most dangerous terrorist in the world (Anthony Quinn). With the assistance of a private weapons hacker, the ATF hopes to intercept the pilfered items and get them back to their native land. The CIA, with the aid of Stanley Goodpress (Tom Cruise), must race through the Swiss Alps to return the stolen nuclear warheads promptly to the English people. And if this wasn't enough, he has less than 8 minutes to do it. With the assistance of an old navy seal (Robert Duvall), our hero must jet ski through the Swiss Alps to deliver the hijacked government secrets safely to the Icelandic government. All this turns sour as he realises that his 8th grade Social Studies teacher (Catherine Zeta-Jones) has been carjacked by the the bad guys. Added to the mix you see the loveable antics of a smart alec black man (Chris Tucker) who when captured by the the bad guys says: "Y'all be trippin' or somethin', shit." However this won't be easy seeing that a nosy reporter (Robert DiNero) has secrets pertaining to his sloppy criminal record. Just as our heroes are marching off on their perlious journey, they suddenly lapse into a sing-along of September '63 much to the dismay of the PMRC . In the eleventh hour the President recites a decree to the citizens of the world. While this dramatic grandstanding drags on he says: "Mankind is a creature of survival. This is the dawn of a new tomorrow." A CIA computer expert watching a TV in a store window answers this with: "I just hope he's right."
