The Plot... A cargo donkey train full of nuclear warheads has been stolen by a lunatic (John Lithgow). With the help of a government chemical expert, the PMRC hopes to reclaim the stolen items and get them back to their owner. The NCRP, with the aid of Bufford Wrightstitch (Ben Affleck), must ski through the rain forest to deliver the pilfered thermo-nuclear explosives in a timely manner to the Japanese people. And if it wasn't hard enough, he has only 12 hours to do it. With the assistance of a crochety veteran (Robert Duvall), the good guys must mountain bike through the rain forest to return the stolen CIA information promptly to the Japanese military. All this worsens as he figures out that his common law wife (Nicole Kidman) has been carjacked by the the bad guys. Along with this you see the madcap slapstick of a smart alec soul brother (Chris Tucker) who when kidnapped by the evildoers 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 regarding his ugly life of crime. Just as our hero are marching off on their perlious journey, they stupidly all burst into a sing-along of Magic Carpet Ride much to the disappointment of the ATF . In a stunning climax the President recites a decree to the citizens of the world. As this dramatic grandstanding unfolds he says: "Here we stand, at the dawn of a new tomorrow. Mankind will survive. Mankind MUST survive!" An ATF chemical hacker watching a TV in a store window answers this with: "I pray to God he's right."
