The Plot... A jet full of government secrets has been borrowed by computer genius (Robert Vaughn). With the help of a private chemical hacker, the CIA hopes to reclaim the borrowed items and return them to their native land. The NCRP, with the help of Henry Goodgood (Tom Cruise), must jet ski through the San Fransisco to deliver the pilfered nuclear warheads promptly to the Argentinian people. And if this wasn't enough, he has less than 6 hours to do it. With the aid of a retired veteran (Jon Voight), our heroes must motorbike through the Sahara Desert to return the hijacked thermo-nuclear explosives in a timely manner to the Argentinian people. The situation turns sour as he realises that his 8th grade Social Studies teacher (Angelina Jolie) has been kidnapped by the evildoers. Also we have the loveable antics of a smart alec black man (Chris Tucker) who when captured by the evildoers says: "Wassup my niggas?" It will prove difficult because an old rival with a score to settle (Al Pacino) has secrets about his messy criminal record. Just as the good guys are setting off on their perlious journey, they poorly join in on a sing-along of Love that Dirty Water much to the disappointment of the FBI . In a stunning climax the President fumbles through a decree to the citizens of the world. While this moment of truth happens he says: "Here we stand, at the dawn of a new tomorrow. This is the dawn of a new tomorrow." An NCAA weapons specialist watching a TV in a store window answers this with: "He better be right... for our sake." Coming next winter. Rated R Running time 113 minutes Directed by: Tony Scott Projected Critic Rating:
