The Plot... A cargo bus loaded with thermo-nuclear explosives has been hijacked by a good guy gone bad (Anthony Quinn). With the aid of a private chemical specialist, the PMRC hopes to intercept the borrowed goods and get them back to their original owner. The ATF, with the help of Henry Goodspeed (Ed Begely, Jr.), must skateboard through the Sahara Desert to deliver the borrowed thermo-nuclear explosives in a timely manner to the English military. As if it wasn't hard enough, he has a mere 15 minutes to do it. With the help of a grizzled navy seal (Robert Duvall), the good guy must mountain bike through the jungle to return the pilfered thermo-nuclear explosives safely to the Argentinian military. The situation worsens as he realises that his high school sweetheart (Nicole Kidman) has been kidnapped by the the villain. Added to the mix we have the madcap slapstick of a sass-talking black man (Chris Tucker) who when held prisoner by the evildoers says: "What kinda fucked up situation is this?" All this won't be easy seeing that an old rival with a score to settle (Robert DiNero) has secrets regarding his sloppy life of crime. Just as the good guy are setting off on their perlious mission, they stupidly join in on a sing-along of Magic Carpet Ride much to the disappointment of the PMRC . At the final moment the President recites a decree to the governments of the world. While this dramatic grandstanding happens he says: "Nothing could have ever prepared me for this day. Mankind will survive. Mankind MUST survive!" A NASA explosives specialist watching at home retorts: "I just hope he's right."
