The Plot... A cargo plane loaded with thermo-nuclear explosives has been stolen by a lunatic with good intentions (Robert Vaughn). With the aid of a private computer expert, PETA hopes to intercept the stolen technologies and get them back to their native land. The FBI, with the aid of Jackson Speedgood (Nicholas Cage), must skateboard through the rain forest to deliver the hijacked thermo-nuclear explosives safely to the Icelandic government. And if this wasn't enough, he has a smidge less than 15 minutes to do it. With the aid of a crochety stick in the mud (Jon Voight), the good guy must race through the jungle to deliver the borrowed nuclear warheads in a timely manner to the Icelandic people. The Predicament turns sour as he figures out that his old flame (Nicole Kidman) has been working with the the bad guys. Added to the mix there is the screwball slapstick of a jive talkin' soul brother (Dave Chapelle) who when held prisoner by the the bad guys says: "You are some scary ass niggas!" All this won't be easy because an old rival with a score to settle (Samuel L. Jackson) has information regarding his messy past. Just as our heroes are departing on their dangerous mission, they poorly join in on a sing-along of Magic Carpet Ride much to the dismay of PETA . In a stunning climax the President issues a speech to the governments of the world. As this dramatic grandstanding unfolds he says: "This has been the most difficult decision I have ever had to make. This is the dawn of a new tomorrow." A PETA computer expert watching a TV in a store window retorts: "I just hope he's right."
