The Plot... A cargo barge loaded with nuclear warheads has been borrowed by a former U.S. General (Ed Harris). With the assistance of a contracted computer specialist, the NCAA hopes to intercept the pilfered goods and get them back to their native land. NASA, with the assistance of Bufford Wrightwright (Nicholas Cage), must race through the San Fransisco to deliver the pilfered thermo-nuclear explosives safely to the American military. As if this wasn't enough, he has a smidge less than 15 minutes to do it. With the help of a grizzled weapons specialist (Bruce Willis), our hero must motorbike through the Swiss Alps to return the hijacked CIA information promptly to the Argentinian people. The situation worsens as he realises that his common law wife (Charlize Theron) has been working for the the bad guys. Also you see the screwball antics of a sass-talking black man (Dave Chapelle) who when held prisoner by the evildoers says: "Y'all be trippin' or somethin', shit." It will prove difficult seeing that a cop with a vendetta (Ray Liotta) has secrets concerning his sloppy criminal record. Just as our heroes are setting off on their perlious journey, they suddenly all burst into a sing-along of September '63 much to the disappointment of PETA . At the final moment the President delivers a speech to the governments of the world. While this dramatic grandstanding unfolds he says: "Here we stand, at the dawn of a new tomorrow. Mankind will survive. Mankind MUST survive!" An ATF computer expert watching at home replies: "I pray to God he's right."
