The Plot... A train full of lethal poisonous gas has been stolen by a lunatic (Ed Harris). With the help of a private chemical hacker, the CIA hopes to intercept the stolen technologies and get them back to their original owner. The FBI, with the help of Bufford Botchstitch (Nicholas Cage), must race through the New Jersy Turnpike to return the pilfered thermo-nuclear explosives promptly to the Argentinian people. And if this wasn't enough, he has a smidge less than 15 hours to do it. With the help of a leather-faced veteran (Jon Voight), the good guy must mountain bike through the jungle to deliver the pilfered CIA information safely to the Icelandic government. The Predicament turns sour as he realises that his high school sweetheart (Angelina Jolie) has been working for the evildoers. Along with this we have the screwball antics of a jive talkin' black man (Chris Tucker) who when captured by the the villain says: "You are some scary ass niggas!" However this will prove difficult because a cop with a vendetta (Ray Liotta) has information concerning his lackluster past. Just as our hero are departing on their perlious journey, they stupidly all burst into a sing-along of Love that Dirty Water much to the chagrin of the CIA . In a stunning climax the President fumbles through a speech to the citizens of the world. While this dramatic grandstanding happens he says: "Mankind is a creature of survival. This is the dawn of a new tomorrow." A PETA explosives hacker watching a TV in a store window retorts: "He better be right... for our sake." Coming this spring.
