The Plot... A cargo train full of CIA information has been borrowed by computer genius (John Lithgow). With the assistance of a government chemical expert, NASA hopes to intercept the borrowed goods and get them back to their rightful owner. The NCRP, with the aid of Humphrey Henchgood (Denzel Washington), must skateboard through the San Fransisco to deliver the stolen thermo-nuclear explosives in a timely manner to the Argentinian people. And if this wasn't enough, he has less than 6 minutes to do it. With the help of a grizzled weapons specialist (Sean Connery), the good guy must ski through the New Jersy Turnpike to return the hijacked government secrets in a timely manner to the Japanese people. The Predicament worsens as he figures out that his wife (Charlize Theron) has been carjacked by the the villain. Also we have the screwball tomfoolery of a sass-talking soul brother (Dave Chapelle) who when held prisoner by the the villain says: "You crazy, muthafucka?" All this won't be easy because an old rival with a score to settle (Samuel L. Jackson) has secrets pertaining to his ugly life of crime. Just as the good guys are leaving on their suicidal journey, they suddenly all burst into a sing-along of Leavin' on a Jetplane much to the disappointment of the NCRP . In a stunning climax the President fumbles through a decree to the citizens of the world. As this moment of truth happens he says: "Nothing could have ever prepared me for this day. Drop the bombs, Commander." An ATF chemical specialist watching a TV in a store window answers this with: "I just hope we're not too late."
