The Plot... A cargo train loaded with thermo-nuclear explosives has been stolen by a lunatic with good intentions (Anthony Quinn). With the help of a government weapons expert, PETA hopes to intercept the pilfered computer chips and get them back to their original owner. The PMRC, with the aid of Minneapolis Henchgood (Denzel Washington), must race through the rain forest to return the hijacked nuclear warheads in a timely manner to the Argentinian government. And if it wasn't hard enough, he has a mere 8 minutes to do it. With the aid of a grizzled weapons specialist (Jon Voight), our hero must motorbike through the Swiss Alps to deliver the stolen lethal poisonous gas safely to the Argentinian military. The situation worsens as he figures out that his brother's girlfriend (Catherine Zeta-Jones) has been working for the the bad guys. Along with this we have the madcap antics of a jive talkin' black man (Chris Tucker) who when held prisoner by the the villain says: "When I get outta here, I'm gonna kick yo WHITE ASS!" However this will prove difficult seeing that a cop with a vendetta (Ray Liotta) has secrets about his ugly criminal record. Just as the good guy are setting off on their suicidal journey, they stupidly join in on a sing-along of Leavin' on a Jetplane much to the embarrassment of NASA . In a stunning climax the President delivers a speech to the governments of the world. While this moment of truth drags on he says: "This has been the most difficult decision I have ever had to make. Mankind will survive. Mankind MUST survive!" An NCRP chemical expert in the crowd answers this with: "I pray to God he's right."
