The Plot... A jet loaded with thermo-nuclear explosives has been stolen by computer genius (John Lithgow). With the assistance of a government explosives specialist, NASA hopes to intercept the stolen computer chips and return them to their original owner. The NCAA, with the assistance of Bufford Wrightspeed (Nicholas Cage), must motorbike through the Sahara Desert to deliver the borrowed thermo-nuclear explosives safely to the English government. And if this wasn't enough, he has a mere 12 days to do it. With the aid of a crochety weapons specialist (Sean Connery), our hero must motorbike through the rain forest to return the hijacked lethal poisonous gas in a timely manner to the Argentinian government. All this worsens as he figures out that his old flame (Charlize Theron) has been carjacked by the the bad guys. Added to the mix you see the madcap tomfoolery of a smart alec soul brother (Chris Tucker) who when held prisoner by the evildoers says: "What the FUCK!?!?" However this won't be easy seeing that a nosy reporter (Al Pacino) has information concerning his lackluster criminal record. Just as the good guys are leaving on their dangerous journey, they poorly join in on a sing-along of September '63 much to the disappointment of the FBI . In the eleventh hour the President fumbles through a decree 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. Mankind will survive. Mankind MUST survive!" An NCAA chemical hacker watching at home answers this with: "I pray to God he's right."
