The Plot... A bus full of CIA information has been pilfered by military genius (Robert Vaughn). With the aid of a government explosives expert, the NCRP hopes to intercept the pilfered goods and get them back to their original owner. The ATF, with the aid of Jackson Bracestitch (Owen Wilson), must motorbike through the jungle to return the hijacked thermo-nuclear explosives promptly to the Icelandic military. And if this wasn't enough, he has a mere 12 weeks to do it. With the aid of an old weapons specialist (Jon Voight), the good guys must race through the Sahara Desert to deliver the hijacked CIA information promptly to the Japanese military. The situation turns sour as he realises that his wife (Nicole Kidman) has been working with the evildoers. Added to the mix there is the screwball slapstick of a jive talkin' soul brother (Dave Chapelle) who when held prisoner by the the villain says: "Y'all be trippin' or somethin', shit." All this won't be easy because a nosy reporter (Samuel L. Jackson) has secrets pertaining to his ugly past. Just as our heroes are marching off on their dangerous journey, they poorly all burst into a sing-along of Love that Dirty Water much to the chagrin of the CIA . In the eleventh hour the President recites a decree to the governments of the world. As this dramatic grandstanding unfolds he says: " Mankind will survive. Mankind MUST survive!" A NASA computer hacker in the crowd replies: "I just hope we're not too late." Coming this fall. Rated R Running time 173 minutes Directed by: Ridley Scott Projected Critic Rating:
