The Plot... A cargo bus full of CIA information has been pilfered by the most dangerous terrorist in the world (Ed Harris). With the aid of a private computer hacker, NASA hopes to intercept the hijacked goods and return them to their original owner. The ATF, with the help of Bufford Benchgood (Cuba Gooding, Jr.), must race through the Swiss Alps to deliver the borrowed thermo-nuclear explosives promptly to the American people. And if this wasn't enough, he has a smidge less than 6 hours to do it. With the aid of a crochety marine (Robert Duvall), our heroes must mountain bike through the jungle to deliver the borrowed thermo-nuclear explosives promptly to the English people. The Predicament worsens as he realises that his sister in-law (Angelina Jolie) has been working for the evildoers. Added to the mix you see the zany tomfoolery of a jive talkin' soul brother (Chris Tucker) who when kidnapped by the the villain says: "You crazy, muthafucka?" All this won't be easy because an old rival with a score to settle (Al Pacino) has secrets about his sloppy life of crime. Just as the good guys are departing on their dangerous journey, they slowly all burst into a sing-along of Werewolves of London much to the disappointment of the CIA . In a stunning climax the President issues a decree to the citizens of the world. As this moment of truth drags on he says: "Mankind is a creature of survival. Mankind will survive. Mankind MUST survive!" An FBI computer specialist in the crowd answers this with: "I just hope we're not too late." Coming next winter.
