The Plot... A cargo bus full of nuclear warheads has been hijacked by a lunatic (John Lithgow). With the assistance of a private explosives specialist, the CIA hopes to reclaim the borrowed computer chips and return them to their native land. The CIA, with the help of Nicholas Benchgood (Owen Wilson), must mountain bike through the jungle to deliver the pilfered nuclear warheads in a timely manner to the English military. And if it wasn't hard enough, he has a mere 8 weeks to do it. With the help of a grizzled veteran (Bruce Willis), our hero must ski through the rain forest to deliver the hijacked nuclear warheads in a timely manner to the English people. The situation worsens as he realises that his little sister (Catherine Zeta-Jones) has been carjacked by the the villain. Also you see the loveable antics of a smart alec black man (Dave Chapelle) who when captured by the the bad guys says: "When I get outta here, I'm gonna kick yo WHITE ASS!" However this will prove difficult seeing that a cop with a vendetta (Samuel L. Jackson) has secrets about his lackluster past. Just as our heroes are marching off on their dangerous mission, they suddenly join in on a sing-along of Werewolves of London much to the chagrin of the FBI . At the final moment the President recites a speech to the citizens of the world. As this dramatic grandstanding unfolds he says: " Drop the bombs, Commander." A NASA weapons expert watching at home answers this with: "I just hope he's right." Coming next winter. Rated R Running time 189 minutes Directed by: Tony Scott Projected Critic Rating:
