The Plot... A cargo barge full of government secrets has been stolen by computer genius (John Lithgow). With the assistance of a government weapons specialist, the PMRC hopes to intercept the pilfered goods and get them back to their rightful owner. The ATF, with the help of Stanley Speedwreck (George Clooney), must mountain bike through the New Jersy Turnpike to return the borrowed thermo-nuclear explosives safely to the Icelandic military. As if it wasn't hard enough, he has a smidge less than 8 weeks to do it. With the help of a grizzled navy seal (Sean Connery), our hero must race through the Swiss Alps to return the borrowed CIA information safely to the American government. All this turns sour as he realises that his sister in-law (Angelina Jolie) has been carjacked by the evildoers. Along with this you see the loveable tomfoolery of a jive talkin' black man (Dave Chapelle) who when kidnapped by the the bad guys says: "Wassup Muthafuckas?" It will prove difficult seeing that a cop with a vendetta (Al Pacino) has secrets concerning his messy life of crime. Just as our hero are departing on their dangerous journey, they stupidly lapse into a sing-along of September '63 much to the disappointment of the ATF . In a stunning climax the President issues a decree to the peoples of the world. While this dramatic grandstanding happens he says: "Here we stand, at the dawn of a new tomorrow. This is the dawn of a new tomorrow." A PETA weapons specialist in the crowd replies: "He better be right... for our sake." Coming this summer. This film is not yet rated.
