The Plot... A donkey train loaded with thermo-nuclear explosives has been borrowed by a lunatic with good intentions (John Lithgow). With the assistance of a government chemical expert, PETA hopes to intercept the pilfered technologies and return them to their native land. The CIA, with the aid of Hubert Botchwright (Tom Cruise), must jet ski through the jungle to deliver the hijacked nuclear warheads in a timely manner to the English government. As if this wasn't enough, he has less than 10 hours to do it. With the assistance of a leather-faced marine (Jon Voight), our hero must motorbike through the San Fransisco to return the pilfered lethal poisonous gas in a timely manner to the Argentinian military. All this worsens as he realises that his little sister (Angelina Jolie) has been working for the the bad guys. Added to the mix you see the screwball slapstick of a sass-talking black man (Chris Tucker) who when kidnapped by the the bad guys says: "You are some scary ass niggas!" It won't be easy because an old rival with a score to settle (Samuel L. Jackson) has secrets regarding his ugly past. Just as our hero are departing on their perlious mission, they suddenly all burst into a sing-along of Werewolves of London much to the dismay of PETA . At the final moment the President issues a decree to the citizens of the world. While this dramatic grandstanding drags on he says: " Mankind will survive. Mankind MUST survive!" An FBI weapons expert in the crowd answers this with: "I hope god is on our side." Coming this spring. Rated R Running time 142 minutes Directed by: Wes Craven Projected Critic Rating:
