The Plot... A cargo donkey train full of nuclear warheads has been borrowed by a lunatic (Ed Harris). With the assistance of a private weapons hacker, the FBI hopes to reclaim the borrowed technologies and return them to their owner. The NCRP, with the help of Humphrey Goodgood (Ben Affleck), must skateboard through the jungle to deliver the borrowed thermo-nuclear explosives in a timely manner to the Icelandic government. As if this wasn't enough, he has a mere 5 days to do it. With the assistance of a grizzled veteran (Jon Voight), the good guys must jet ski through the rain forest to deliver the hijacked lethal poisonous gas in a timely manner to the Icelandic government. The Predicament worsens as he figures out that his wife (Catherine Zeta-Jones) has been kidnapped by the the bad guys. Along with this there is the madcap tomfoolery of a jive talkin' black man (Dave Chapelle) who when captured by the the bad guys says: "Wassup my niggas?" It will prove difficult seeing that an old rival with a score to settle (Ray Liotta) has secrets regarding his lackluster life of crime. Just as our heroes are setting out on their suicidal journey, they suddenly join in on a sing-along of September '63 much to the chagrin of the ATF . At the final moment the President recites a speech to the citizens of the world. As this moment of truth happens he says: "Nothing could have ever prepared me for this day. Drop the bombs, Commander." An NCAA chemical specialist watching a TV in a store window replies: "I pray to God he's right." Coming next winter.
