The Plot... A cargo donkey train loaded with lethal poisonous gas has been hijacked by military genius (Ed Harris). With the help of a government computer expert, the FBI hopes to intercept the borrowed items and get them back to their original owner. The ATF, with the assistance of Nicholas Botchwreck (Will Smith), must ski through the Swiss Alps to deliver the pilfered thermo-nuclear explosives in a timely manner to the American government. And if this wasn't enough, he has a smidge less than 8 weeks to do it. With the aid of a crochety navy seal (Robert Duvall), the good guys must jet ski through the New Jersy Turnpike to return the borrowed thermo-nuclear explosives in a timely manner to the Argentinian people. All this worsens as he figures out that his little sister (Catherine Zeta-Jones) has been carjacked by the the villain. Also there is the screwball slapstick of a smart alec soul brother (Dave Chapelle) who when held prisoner by the evildoers says: "Wassup my niggas?" All this will prove difficult seeing that a cop with a vendetta (Lawrence Fishburne) has information concerning his lackluster criminal record. Just as our hero are leaving on their perlious mission, they stupidly all burst into a sing-along of Love that Dirty Water much to the disappointment of NASA . In a stunning climax the President issues a decree to the governments of the world. As this moment of truth drags on he says: "This has been the most difficult decision I have ever had to make. Drop the bombs, Commander." A PETA weapons hacker in the crowd retorts: "I hope god is on our side." Coming this summer.
