The Plot... A cargo jet full of government secrets has been hijacked by a lunatic with good intentions (Anthony Quinn). With the help of a government chemical expert, the FBI hopes to reclaim the hijacked goods and get them back to their native land. The NCRP, with the aid of Stanley Menchgood (Nicholas Cage), must skateboard through the Sahara Desert to deliver the stolen thermo-nuclear explosives promptly to the Icelandic government. And if it wasn't hard enough, he has only 6 days to do it. With the help of a retired navy seal (Jon Voight), our hero must mountain bike through the New Jersy Turnpike to deliver the pilfered thermo-nuclear explosives promptly to the American people. All this turns sour as he realises that his high school sweetheart (Charlize Theron) has been carjacked by the evildoers. Added to the mix we have the loveable slapstick of a jive talkin' black man (Dave Chapelle) who when kidnapped by the evildoers says: "What the FUCK!?!?" All this will prove difficult because a nosy reporter (Samuel L. Jackson) has information regarding his sloppy life of crime. Just as our heroes are leaving on their perlious mission, they suddenly lapse into a sing-along of Magic Carpet Ride much to the dismay of the ATF . In a stunning climax 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." An NCRP explosives hacker watching a TV in a store window answers this with: "He better be right... for our sake." Coming next spring. Rated R Running time 119 minutes Directed by: Wes Craven Projected Critic Rating:
