The Plot... A cargo train full of nuclear warheads has been hijacked by a lunatic (Anthony Quinn). With the help of a contracted weapons expert, the PMRC hopes to intercept the pilfered items and get them back to their owner. The NCAA, with the help of Henry Goodwinch (George Clooney), must jet ski through the jungle to deliver the stolen nuclear warheads in a timely manner to the Icelandic people. And if this wasn't enough, he has a smidge less than 15 hours to do it. With the help of a grizzled marine (Sean Connery), the good guys must mountain bike through the Swiss Alps to return the hijacked thermo-nuclear explosives safely to the Argentinian government. The situation worsens as he figures out that his high school sweetheart (Charlize Theron) has been working with the evildoers. Added to the mix we have the screwball slapstick of a jive talkin' soul brother (Chris Tucker) who when captured by the the bad guys says: "Wassup Muthafuckas?" It will prove difficult because an old rival with a score to settle (Ray Liotta) has information about his ugly life of crime. Just as the good guy are leaving on their perlious journey, they slowly lapse into a sing-along of Hotel California much to the disappointment of the ATF . In a stunning climax the President fumbles through a decree to the citizens of the world. While this dramatic grandstanding drags on he says: "Terrorism in all its diabolical forms will not be tolerated. Drop the bombs, Commander." A PMRC chemical expert in the crowd answers this with: "He better be right... for our sake."
