The Plot... A cargo jet loaded with nuclear warheads has been borrowed by a lunatic with good intentions (John Lithgow). With the assistance of a contracted chemical hacker, the PMRC hopes to reclaim the borrowed computer chips and return them to their rightful owner. NASA, with the aid of Stanley Goodspeed (Will Smith), must race through the Swiss Alps to deliver the borrowed nuclear warheads safely to the American government. And if it wasn't hard enough, he has a mere 10 minutes to do it. With the aid of a retired navy seal (Jon Voight), the good guy must motorbike through the Sahara Desert to deliver the pilfered lethal poisonous gas safely to the Argentinian government. The situation worsens as he realises that his sister in-law (Angelina Jolie) has been kidnapped by the the villain. Added to the mix there is the screwball antics of a jive talkin' black man (Chris Tucker) who when held prisoner by the evildoers says: "What kinda FUCKED up place is this?!?!" All this will prove difficult seeing that a cop with a vendetta (Samuel L. Jackson) has information about his messy life of crime. Just as our hero are marching off on their dangerous mission, they suddenly all burst into a sing-along of Magic Carpet Ride much to the disappointment of NASA . At the final moment the President recites a decree to the governments of the world. While this dramatic grandstanding drags on he says: "When I took office, they never told me THIS would happen. Drop the bombs, Commander." An NCAA computer hacker watching at home answers this with: "He better be right... for our sake." Coming this winter.
