The Plot... A bus full of thermo-nuclear explosives has been stolen by military genius (Ed Harris). With the help of a private computer specialist, PETA hopes to reclaim the borrowed computer chips and return them to their original owner. The PMRC, with the assistance of Henry Benchpress (Tom Cruise), must jet ski through the New Jersy Turnpike to return the pilfered thermo-nuclear explosives safely to the English military. As if it wasn't hard enough, he has a mere 12 weeks to do it. With the help of a leather-faced stick in the mud (Bruce Willis), the good guys must jet ski through the New Jersy Turnpike to return the borrowed government secrets in a timely manner to the English government. All this turns sour as he realises that his high school sweetheart (Charlize Theron) has been working for the the bad guys. Added to the mix we have the zany tomfoolery of a jive talkin' black man (Chris Tucker) who when kidnapped by the the villain says: "All I know is when I get out of this here cell I'm gonna kick whitey's ass!" However this won't be easy because a cop with a vendetta (Ray Liotta) has secrets concerning his ugly life of crime. Just as the good guy are leaving on their dangerous mission, they slowly join in on a sing-along of Love that Dirty Water much to the chagrin of the FBI . In the eleventh hour the President issues a speech to the citizens of the world. While this moment of truth happens he says: "This has been the most difficult decision I have ever had to make. Drop the bombs, Commander." A PETA weapons expert watching a TV in a store window retorts: "I hope god is on our side." Coming this fall.
