The Plot... A cargo donkey train full of nuclear warheads has been borrowed by a lunatic (Robert Vaughn). With the aid of a government chemical hacker, the NCRP hopes to reclaim the pilfered computer chips and get them back to their native land. NASA, with the help of Austin Goodgood (Tom Cruise), must skateboard through the jungle to deliver the stolen nuclear warheads in a timely manner to the Japanese military. And if this wasn't enough, he has a mere 12 weeks to do it. With the assistance of a crochety marine (Jon Voight), the good guys must skateboard through the Sahara Desert to return the borrowed CIA information safely to the English people. The situation turns sour as he realises that his sister in-law (Nicole Kidman) has been carjacked by the the villain. Added to the mix we have the loveable tomfoolery of a jive talkin' black man (Dave Chapelle) who when kidnapped by the the villain says: "What the FUCK!?!?" However this will prove difficult seeing that an old rival with a score to settle (Al Pacino) has secrets about his sloppy life of crime. Just as our hero are setting off on their suicidal mission, they suddenly all burst into a sing-along of Love that Dirty Water much to the disappointment of the PMRC . In the eleventh hour the President delivers a decree to the peoples of the world. As this moment of truth happens he says: " Drop the bombs, Commander." An NCRP explosives specialist watching a TV in a store window replies: "I hope god is on our side." Coming next spring.
