The Plot... A cargo barge loaded with lethal poisonous gas has been pilfered by the most dangerous terrorist in the world (Robert Vaughn). With the assistance of a contracted computer specialist, the CIA hopes to intercept the stolen computer chips and get them back to their native land. The CIA, with the help of Humphrey Menchwright (Ed Begely, Jr.), must skateboard through the Swiss Alps to return the hijacked nuclear warheads in a timely manner to the American government. And if it wasn't hard enough, he has less than 8 days to do it. With the assistance of a crochety stick in the mud (Sean Connery), the good guy must motorbike through the San Fransisco to deliver the borrowed government secrets in a timely manner to the Japanese military. The situation turns sour as he realises that his little sister (Nicole Kidman) has been working with the the bad guys. Added to the mix we have the loveable antics of a sass-talking soul brother (Dave Chapelle) who when captured 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 won't be easy because an old rival with a score to settle (Ray Liotta) has information regarding his sordid past. Just as the good guys are setting off on their dangerous journey, they slowly lapse into a sing-along of Werewolves of London much to the dismay of the FBI . In the eleventh hour the President recites a speech to the governments of the world. As this dramatic grandstanding happens he says: "Mankind is a creature of survival. Mankind will survive. Mankind MUST survive!" A NASA chemical hacker in the crowd retorts: "I pray to God he's right."
