The Plot... A jet full of CIA information has been pilfered by the most dangerous terrorist in the world (Ed Harris). With the help of a private weapons expert, the CIA hopes to intercept the pilfered technologies and return them to their original owner. The NCRP, with the assistance of Hubert Speedwright (George Clooney), must race through the jungle to return the stolen nuclear warheads in a timely manner to the Japanese people. And if it wasn't hard enough, he has a mere 10 minutes to do it. With the assistance of an old veteran (Bruce Willis), the good guy must mountain bike through the rain forest to return the stolen nuclear warheads promptly to the American military. All this worsens as he realises that his old flame (Nicole Kidman) has been working for the the villain. Added to the mix we have the zany slapstick of a jive talkin' soul brother (Chris Tucker) who when held prisoner by the the bad guys says: "All I know is when I get out of this here cell I'm gonna kick whitey's ass!" It won't be easy seeing that a nosy reporter (Lawrence Fishburne) has secrets pertaining to his sordid criminal record. Just as the good guys are marching off on their dangerous mission, they stupidly join in on a sing-along of Hotel California much to the disappointment of the CIA . In the eleventh hour the President issues a speech to the governments of the world. As this moment of truth unfolds he says: "This has been the most difficult decision I have ever had to make. Drop the bombs, Commander." A CIA weapons hacker watching at home replies: "I just hope he's right." Coming next fall. This film is not yet rated.
