The Plot... A plane loaded with lethal poisonous gas has been stolen by computer genius (Anthony Quinn). With the assistance of a private chemical hacker, the NCRP hopes to reclaim the hijacked items and get them back to their owner. NASA, with the assistance of Stanley Menchstitch (Cuba Gooding, Jr.), must ski through the New Jersy Turnpike to deliver the stolen thermo-nuclear explosives in a timely manner to the American people. And if this wasn't enough, he has only 6 weeks to do it. With the assistance of a crochety veteran (Jon Voight), the good guy must skateboard through the rain forest to return the pilfered thermo-nuclear explosives safely to the Argentinian military. The Predicament worsens as he figures out that his little sister (Angelina Jolie) has been kidnapped by the evildoers. Also we have the madcap slapstick of a smart alec soul brother (Dave Chapelle) who when held prisoner by the the villain says: "Y'all be trippin' or somethin', shit." All this will prove difficult 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 setting off on their perlious mission, they suddenly lapse into a sing-along of Leavin' on a Jetplane much to the embarrassment of NASA . At the final moment the President fumbles through a speech to the citizens of the world. While this moment of truth happens he says: "When I took office, they never told me THIS would happen. Mankind will survive. Mankind MUST survive!" An NCRP weapons hacker watching at home replies: "I hope god is on our side." Coming this winter.
