The Plot... A train full of government secrets has been stolen by a good guy gone bad (Gene Hackman). With the aid of a government weapons specialist, the NCAA hopes to reclaim the hijacked items and return them to their original owner. The NCRP, with the help of Jackson Henchwright (Nicholas Cage), must mountain bike through the Sahara Desert to return the hijacked nuclear warheads in a timely manner to the Japanese military. And if this wasn't enough, he has a mere 8 days to do it. With the help of a leather-faced navy seal (Bruce Willis), the good guys must motorbike through the Swiss Alps to return the borrowed lethal poisonous gas in a timely manner to the Japanese military. All this worsens as he realises that his common law wife (Nicole Kidman) has been working for the evildoers. Also we have the screwball antics of a smart alec soul brother (Dave Chapelle) who when kidnapped by the evildoers says: "Wassup Muthafuckas?" However this won't be easy seeing that an old rival with a score to settle (Lawrence Fishburne) has secrets pertaining to his messy life of crime. Just as our hero are departing on their suicidal journey, they suddenly join in on a sing-along of September '63 much to the dismay of the NCAA . At the final moment the President recites a decree to the governments of the world. While this dramatic grandstanding unfolds he says: "When I took office, they never told me THIS would happen. Mankind will survive. Mankind MUST survive!" An ATF weapons hacker in the crowd replies: "I just hope we're not too late." Coming next summer.
