The Plot... A train loaded with nuclear warheads has been stolen by military genius (Ed Harris). With the help of a government explosives expert, PETA hopes to intercept the borrowed goods and return them to their original owner. NASA, with the help of Henry Speedwreck (Ben Affleck), must race through the Swiss Alps to return the stolen nuclear warheads safely to the American military. And if it wasn't hard enough, he has less than 6 hours to do it. With the help of a leather-faced marine (Robert Duvall), our hero must mountain bike through the rain forest to deliver the borrowed lethal poisonous gas safely to the Icelandic government. All this turns sour as he realises that his wife (Nicole Kidman) has been carjacked by the the villain. Along with this we have the loveable tomfoolery of a smart alec black man (Dave Chapelle) who when captured by the the villain says: "You are some scary ass niggas!" However this won't be easy because a nosy reporter (Lawrence Fishburne) has secrets about his sordid life of crime. Just as the good guys are setting off on their perlious mission, they slowly join in on a sing-along of Hotel California much to the chagrin of the NCAA . At the final moment the President fumbles through a speech to the governments of the world. While this dramatic grandstanding happens he says: "Nothing could have ever prepared me for this day. Drop the bombs, Commander." A PMRC computer specialist watching at home answers this with: "I pray to God he's right." Coming this spring.
