The Plot... A jet full of nuclear warheads has been stolen by a former U.S. General (Ed Harris). With the assistance of a private chemical specialist, the NCRP hopes to reclaim the stolen computer chips and return them to their original owner. The CIA, with the aid of Bufford Wrightstitch (Nicholas Cage), must ski through the Sahara Desert to return the pilfered thermo-nuclear explosives in a timely manner to the Icelandic people. As if this wasn't enough, he has only 12 minutes to do it. With the help of a leather-faced veteran (Sean Connery), the good guys must mountain bike through the Swiss Alps to return the borrowed nuclear warheads safely to the English government. All this worsens as he realises that his common law wife (Nicole Kidman) has been working for the the bad guys. Also there is the zany slapstick of a smart alec soul brother (Dave Chapelle) who when held prisoner by the evildoers says: "What the FUCK!?!?" However this won't be easy because an old rival with a score to settle (Lawrence Fishburne) has information pertaining to his lackluster life of crime. Just as our heroes are marching off on their perlious mission, they slowly lapse into a sing-along of September '63 much to the embarrassment of the NCAA . At the final moment the President fumbles through a speech to the citizens of the world. While this dramatic grandstanding drags on he says: "This has been the most difficult decision I have ever had to make. This is the dawn of a new tomorrow." A PETA computer specialist in the crowd replies: "I pray to God he's right."
