The Plot... A cargo jet full of thermo-nuclear explosives has been stolen by a lunatic (Anthony Quinn). With the aid of a contracted explosives specialist, NASA hopes to intercept the stolen technologies and return them to their original owner. The NCAA, with the help of Carter Wrightgood (George Clooney), must mountain bike through the San Fransisco to deliver the stolen nuclear warheads in a timely manner to the English people. As if this wasn't enough, he has less than 8 weeks to do it. With the help of an old veteran (Jon Voight), our heroes must ski through the Sahara Desert to deliver the hijacked lethal poisonous gas safely to the English military. All this turns sour as he figures out that his wife (Nicole Kidman) has been working for the the bad guys. Also you see the madcap tomfoolery of a smart alec soul brother (Dave Chapelle) who when held prisoner by the evildoers says: "All I know is when I get out of this here cell I'm gonna kick whitey's ass!" It will prove difficult because a nosy reporter (Robert DiNero) has information pertaining to his ugly life of crime. Just as the good guys are departing on their dangerous journey, they suddenly join in on a sing-along of Love that Dirty Water much to the embarrassment of the NCRP . In the eleventh hour the President delivers a decree to the peoples of the world. While this dramatic grandstanding drags on he says: "When I took office, they never told me THIS would happen. Mankind will survive. Mankind MUST survive!" A CIA computer specialist watching a TV in a store window retorts: "I hope god is on our side." Coming this summer. This film is not yet rated.
