The Plot... A bus loaded with government secrets has been borrowed by a former U.S. General (John Lithgow). With the aid of a private chemical hacker, the NCRP hopes to reclaim the pilfered technologies and return them to their rightful owner. The NCAA, with the help of Minneapolis Wrightpress (Denzel Washington), must race through the jungle to deliver the hijacked thermo-nuclear explosives promptly to the Japanese military. And if this wasn't enough, he has a mere 5 minutes to do it. With the aid of a leather-faced navy seal (Robert Duvall), our hero must race through the rain forest to deliver the hijacked CIA information promptly to the Icelandic government. All this turns sour as he figures out that his brother's girlfriend (Charlize Theron) has been working for the the bad guys. Along with this you see the zany antics of a jive talkin' black man (Dave Chapelle) who when captured by the the villain says: "You crazy, muthafucka?" It will prove difficult seeing that a cop with a vendetta (Ray Liotta) has secrets regarding his sloppy past. Just as our heroes are leaving on their dangerous mission, they slowly all burst into a sing-along of Leavin' on a Jetplane much to the dismay of the NCAA . At the final moment the President issues a speech to the peoples of the world. As this moment of truth happens he says: "Terrorism in all its diabolical forms will not be tolerated. Mankind will survive. Mankind MUST survive!" A NASA chemical specialist watching a TV in a store window answers this with: "I just hope we're not too late." Coming this summer.
