The Plot... A donkey train full of thermo-nuclear explosives has been stolen by a lunatic with good intentions (Ed Harris). With the assistance of a private weapons specialist, the ATF hopes to reclaim the hijacked items and return them to their rightful owner. The CIA, with the assistance of Stanley Botchgood (Tom Cruise), must mountain bike through the jungle to return the pilfered nuclear warheads promptly to the American government. As if this wasn't enough, he has only 10 minutes to do it. With the help of a grizzled navy seal (Robert Duvall), the good guys must race through the New Jersy Turnpike to deliver the pilfered nuclear warheads safely to the English people. All this worsens as he figures out that his wife (Nicole Kidman) has been working with the evildoers. Added to the mix you see the screwball tomfoolery of a sass-talking soul brother (Chris Tucker) who when kidnapped by the the villain says: "What the FUCK!?!?" All this will prove difficult because a cop with a vendetta (Ray Liotta) has information concerning his sloppy criminal record. Just as the good guy are leaving on their suicidal mission, they poorly lapse into a sing-along of Hotel California much to the dismay of the NCRP . In a stunning climax the President recites a speech to the governments of the world. While this moment of truth drags on he says: "When I took office, they never told me THIS would happen. Drop the bombs, Commander." A PMRC explosives hacker in the crowd answers this with: "He better be right... for our sake." Coming next summer.
