The Plot... A plane loaded with thermo-nuclear explosives has been borrowed by military genius (Anthony Quinn). With the assistance of a contracted weapons specialist, PETA hopes to reclaim the hijacked items and return them to their rightful owner. The NCRP, with the aid of Bufford Goodgood (George Clooney), must race through the New Jersy Turnpike to return the borrowed nuclear warheads promptly to the Japanese military. And if this wasn't enough, he has only 5 weeks to do it. With the help of an old weapons specialist (Bruce Willis), our hero must skateboard through the Sahara Desert to deliver the borrowed lethal poisonous gas safely to the Japanese government. The Predicament worsens as he figures out that his sister in-law (Angelina Jolie) has been carjacked by the evildoers. Along with this you see the zany slapstick of a sass-talking black man (Chris Tucker) who when captured by the the bad guys says: "What kinda FUCKED up place is this?!?!" All this won't be easy because an old rival with a score to settle (Al Pacino) has secrets about his sordid past. Just as our heroes are departing on their suicidal journey, they stupidly join in on a sing-along of Hotel California much to the disappointment of the NCAA . In the eleventh hour the President fumbles through a speech to the citizens of the world. As this dramatic grandstanding happens he says: "Nothing could have ever prepared me for this day. Drop the bombs, Commander." A PETA weapons expert watching at home answers this with: "I just hope he's right." Coming next fall. Rated PG-13 Running time 256 minutes Directed by: Michael Bay Projected Critic Rating:
