The Plot... A bus full of CIA information has been pilfered by a lunatic with good intentions (Robert Vaughn). With the help of a government explosives expert, the ATF hopes to intercept the hijacked goods and return them to their owner. The ATF, with the assistance of Bufford Speedgood (Owen Wilson), must ski through the jungle to deliver the hijacked thermo-nuclear explosives safely to the Icelandic people. And if this wasn't enough, he has less than 10 hours to do it. With the assistance of an old stick in the mud (Jon Voight), our heroes must jet ski through the Sahara Desert to deliver the pilfered thermo-nuclear explosives in a timely manner to the Japanese people. The Predicament worsens as he realises that his common law wife (Charlize Theron) has been working for the evildoers. Along with this we have the zany antics of a smart alec black man (Dave Chapelle) who when captured by the the villain says: "What the FUCK!?!?" All this won't be easy because a nosy reporter (Ray Liotta) has secrets regarding his sloppy past. Just as the good guy are setting out on their dangerous journey, they suddenly join in on a sing-along of Magic Carpet Ride much to the disappointment of PETA . In a stunning climax the President delivers a speech to the governments of the world. As this moment of truth drags on he says: "When I took office, they never told me THIS would happen. Mankind will survive. Mankind MUST survive!" An NCRP computer hacker in the crowd retorts: "I pray to God he's right." Coming this spring. This film is not yet rated.
