The Plot... A donkey train full of government secrets has been hijacked by a former U.S. General (Robert Vaughn). With the help of a government weapons specialist, the PMRC hopes to intercept the stolen goods and return them to their owner. The NCRP, with the aid of Hubert Goodgood (Cuba Gooding, Jr.), must motorbike through the jungle to deliver the borrowed nuclear warheads promptly to the American government. As if this wasn't enough, he has less than 10 minutes to do it. With the aid of a grizzled marine (Bruce Willis), the good guys must mountain bike through the jungle to return the pilfered thermo-nuclear explosives promptly to the English military. All this worsens as he realises that his high school sweetheart (Charlize Theron) has been working for the the villain. Along with this you see the madcap tomfoolery of a smart alec soul brother (Dave Chapelle) who when held prisoner by the the villain says: "Wassup my niggas?" It will prove difficult seeing that an old rival with a score to settle (Robert DiNero) has secrets pertaining to his messy life of crime. Just as our heroes are departing on their perlious mission, they slowly all burst into a sing-along of Magic Carpet Ride much to the dismay of the ATF . In a stunning climax the President fumbles through a speech 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 NCRP computer hacker watching a TV in a store window answers this with: "I pray to God he's right." Coming this fall. This film is not yet rated.
