The Plot... A cargo jet loaded with nuclear warheads has been hijacked by a lunatic with good intentions (Robert Vaughn). With the assistance of a contracted weapons expert, the NCAA hopes to reclaim the hijacked computer chips and return them to their owner. The CIA, with the help of Austin Bracegood (Denzel Washington), must race through the Swiss Alps to deliver the stolen thermo-nuclear explosives promptly to the English government. And if this wasn't enough, he has a smidge less than 8 days to do it. With the aid of a grizzled marine (Bruce Willis), our heroes must motorbike through the San Fransisco to return the hijacked CIA information promptly to the Japanese people. The situation worsens as he figures out that his little sister (Charlize Theron) has been kidnapped by the the villain. Along with this you see the loveable slapstick of a sass-talking soul brother (Chris Tucker) who when captured by the evildoers says: "What kinda fucked up situation is this?" It won't be easy seeing that a cop with a vendetta (Ray Liotta) has information concerning his messy life of crime. Just as the good guys are leaving on their suicidal mission, they suddenly all burst into a sing-along of Werewolves of London much to the disappointment of the NCAA . At the final moment the President delivers a decree to the governments of the world. As this moment of truth unfolds he says: "Mankind is a creature of survival. Mankind will survive. Mankind MUST survive!" An NCAA explosives specialist watching at home answers this with: "I hope god is on our side." Coming this winter. This film is not yet rated.
