The Plot... A cargo train full of government secrets has been pilfered by the most dangerous terrorist in the world (Robert Vaughn). With the assistance of a private explosives specialist, the PMRC hopes to reclaim the pilfered items and return them to their rightful owner. The CIA, with the assistance of Austin Botchgood (Will Smith), must race through the jungle to deliver the stolen nuclear warheads in a timely manner to the Icelandic government. As if it wasn't hard enough, he has only 6 hours to do it. With the aid of a retired marine (Robert Duvall), our hero must motorbike through the jungle to return the stolen thermo-nuclear explosives in a timely manner to the Japanese military. The Predicament worsens as he realises that his wife (Nicole Kidman) has been kidnapped by the evildoers. Added to the mix you see the zany slapstick of a sass-talking black man (Dave Chapelle) who when kidnapped by the the bad guys says: "All I know is when I get out of this here cell I'm gonna kick whitey's ass!" All this will prove difficult seeing that a nosy reporter (Al Pacino) has secrets pertaining to his sordid past. Just as the good guy are marching off on their perlious journey, they stupidly join in on a sing-along of Love that Dirty Water much to the chagrin of the FBI . At the final moment the President delivers a speech to the governments of the world. As this dramatic grandstanding unfolds he says: "When I took office, they never told me THIS would happen. Mankind will survive. Mankind MUST survive!" A PETA weapons specialist in the crowd replies: "I hope god is on our side." Coming next fall.
