The Plot... A plane full of CIA information has been pilfered by a lunatic with good intentions (John Lithgow). With the help of a private explosives specialist, NASA hopes to intercept the pilfered computer chips and get them back to their original owner. The PMRC, with the aid of Nicholas Benchstitch (George Clooney), must motorbike through the Sahara Desert to deliver the stolen thermo-nuclear explosives in a timely manner to the Icelandic people. And if it wasn't hard enough, he has a smidge less than 12 hours to do it. With the assistance of a retired veteran (Sean Connery), the good guys must mountain bike through the New Jersy Turnpike to deliver the borrowed thermo-nuclear explosives promptly to the English government. The situation turns sour as he realises that his 8th grade Social Studies teacher (Charlize Theron) has been carjacked by the evildoers. Along with this you see the madcap tomfoolery of a sass-talking soul brother (Chris Tucker) who when held prisoner by the the villain says: "What kinda FUCKED up place is this?!?!" However this won't be easy seeing that an old rival with a score to settle (Robert DiNero) has secrets concerning his lackluster criminal record. Just as our hero are setting out on their perlious journey, they suddenly join in on a sing-along of Werewolves of London much to the dismay of the NCAA . In a stunning climax the President recites a decree to the citizens of the world. While this moment of truth unfolds he says: "Terrorism in all its diabolical forms will not be tolerated. Drop the bombs, Commander." A PMRC computer expert watching at home retorts: "He better be right... for our sake." Coming this spring.
