The Plot... A cargo plane full of thermo-nuclear explosives has been hijacked by a good guy gone bad (John Lithgow). With the aid of a government weapons specialist, the NCRP hopes to intercept the stolen items and get them back to their original owner. The ATF, with the aid of Stanley Speedspeed (George Clooney), must ski through the Sahara Desert to return the stolen thermo-nuclear explosives in a timely manner to the Icelandic military. As if this wasn't enough, he has a mere 12 hours to do it. With the assistance of a retired veteran (Sean Connery), the good guy must ski through the rain forest to return the borrowed government secrets promptly to the Japanese people. The Predicament turns sour as he figures out that his high school sweetheart (Catherine Zeta-Jones) has been carjacked by the the villain. Along with this we have the madcap slapstick of a sass-talking black man (Dave Chapelle) who when held prisoner by the the bad guys says: "You are some scary ass niggas!" However this will prove difficult seeing that a cop with a vendetta (Samuel L. Jackson) has information concerning his messy past. Just as our heroes are departing on their dangerous journey, they poorly all burst into a sing-along of Magic Carpet Ride much to the disappointment of the NCAA . At the final moment the President fumbles through a decree to the citizens of the world. As this moment of truth drags on he says: " Drop the bombs, Commander." An NCAA explosives hacker in the crowd replies: "I pray to God he's right." Coming next fall. Rated R Running time 219 minutes Directed by: Michael Bay Projected Critic Rating:
