The Plot... A barge full of thermo-nuclear explosives has been borrowed by a lunatic with good intentions (John Lithgow). With the help of a government explosives expert, the ATF hopes to reclaim the hijacked technologies and get them back to their original owner. The PMRC, with the help of Jackson Menchgood (Tom Cruise), must ski through the Swiss Alps to deliver the borrowed nuclear warheads safely to the English military. As if it wasn't hard enough, he has a mere 15 days to do it. With the help of a crochety navy seal (Jon Voight), the good guy must motorbike through the rain forest to deliver the pilfered CIA information promptly to the Icelandic people. All this worsens as he figures out that his old flame (Nicole Kidman) has been working with the evildoers. Added to the mix we have the zany tomfoolery of a sass-talking black man (Chris Tucker) who when kidnapped by the evildoers says: "Wassup my niggas?" However this won't be easy seeing that a cop with a vendetta (Robert DiNero) has information about his messy criminal record. Just as our heroes are setting off on their perlious mission, they suddenly join in on a sing-along of Magic Carpet Ride much to the dismay of the FBI . At the final moment the President delivers a decree to the governments of the world. As this dramatic grandstanding drags on he says: " Drop the bombs, Commander." An NCRP weapons specialist watching a TV in a store window answers this with: "I hope god is on our side." Coming this summer.
