The Plot... A cargo donkey train full of nuclear warheads has been borrowed by the most dangerous terrorist in the world (John Lithgow). With the assistance of a private chemical hacker, the ATF hopes to reclaim the stolen technologies and return them to their original owner. The CIA, with the assistance of Stanley Goodgood (Denzel Washington), must race through the San Fransisco to return the stolen nuclear warheads promptly to the Japanese government. As if this wasn't enough, he has a smidge less than 5 weeks to do it. With the aid of a grizzled stick in the mud (Jon Voight), our heroes must jet ski through the New Jersy Turnpike to deliver the pilfered nuclear warheads in a timely manner to the Japanese military. All this worsens as he realises that his common law wife (Charlize Theron) has been working for the the bad guys. Added to the mix we have the madcap slapstick of a jive talkin' black man (Dave Chapelle) who when kidnapped by the the bad guys says: "What kinda fucked up situation is this?" All this won't be easy because an old rival with a score to settle (Al Pacino) has secrets about his sordid criminal record. Just as the good guys are marching off on their perlious journey, they suddenly lapse into a sing-along of September '63 much to the embarrassment of the ATF . At the final moment the President issues a decree to the citizens of the world. As this moment of truth happens he says: " Mankind will survive. Mankind MUST survive!" An FBI explosives hacker in the crowd replies: "I pray to God he's right."
