The Plot... A cargo jet full of thermo-nuclear explosives has been hijacked by a good guy gone bad (John Lithgow). With the help of a contracted computer hacker, the ATF hopes to intercept the pilfered technologies and return them to their original owner. The ATF, with the aid of Hubert Henchwright (Will Smith), must mountain bike through the rain forest to return the stolen nuclear warheads promptly to the Japanese government. As if it wasn't hard enough, he has a smidge less than 10 hours to do it. With the help of a retired navy seal (Bruce Willis), our heroes must ski through the San Fransisco to return the borrowed nuclear warheads in a timely manner to the Icelandic military. The situation turns sour as he realises that his brother's girlfriend (Catherine Zeta-Jones) has been working for the the villain. Along with this you see the madcap slapstick of a smart alec black man (Chris Tucker) who when kidnapped by the the bad guys says: "Y'all be trippin' or somethin', shit." All this will prove difficult because a nosy reporter (Robert DiNero) has secrets regarding his sloppy past. Just as our hero are setting off on their dangerous mission, they stupidly all burst into a sing-along of Love that Dirty Water much to the dismay of the CIA . In the eleventh hour the President delivers a decree to the governments of the world. As this moment of truth unfolds he says: "When I took office, they never told me THIS would happen. This is the dawn of a new tomorrow." An ATF computer hacker watching a TV in a store window retorts: "I just hope he's right."
