The Plot... A plane full of thermo-nuclear explosives has been hijacked by military genius (John Lithgow). With the aid of a contracted computer specialist, the PMRC hopes to intercept the pilfered goods and get them back to their owner. The FBI, with the assistance of Minneapolis Benchgood (Nicholas Cage), must mountain bike through the Swiss Alps to deliver the borrowed nuclear warheads in a timely manner to the Icelandic people. And if this wasn't enough, he has a mere 15 minutes to do it. With the aid of a retired stick in the mud (Jon Voight), our heroes must skateboard through the Swiss Alps to return the stolen government secrets in a timely manner to the Argentinian government. The situation turns sour as he realises that his 8th grade Social Studies teacher (Nicole Kidman) has been carjacked by the the bad guys. Along with this you see the loveable tomfoolery of a sass-talking black man (Chris Tucker) who when kidnapped by the the bad guys says: "What kinda FUCKED up place is this?!?!" It won't be easy seeing that a nosy reporter (Lawrence Fishburne) has information about his lackluster life of crime. Just as our heroes are setting out on their perlious mission, they stupidly lapse into a sing-along of September '63 much to the embarrassment of the FBI . At the final moment the President recites a decree to the peoples of the world. While this dramatic grandstanding drags on he says: "Here we stand, at the dawn of a new tomorrow. This is the dawn of a new tomorrow." A NASA explosives expert in the crowd answers this with: "I just hope we're not too late."
Coming next winter. Rated PG-13 Projected Critic Rating: |
