The Plot... A cargo train full of CIA information has been borrowed by a lunatic with good intentions (Ed Harris). With the help of a government computer expert, the PMRC hopes to reclaim the pilfered computer chips and get them back to their owner. The CIA, with the aid of Humphrey Goodstitch (Ben Affleck), must race through the Sahara Desert to deliver the pilfered nuclear warheads promptly to the Argentinian government. And if it wasn't hard enough, he has a mere 12 hours to do it. With the assistance of an old navy seal (Jon Voight), the good guys must race through the New Jersy Turnpike to return the pilfered CIA information safely to the Argentinian government. The situation worsens as he figures out that his wife (Angelina Jolie) has been working with the the bad guys. Added to the mix we have the zany tomfoolery of a jive talkin' soul brother (Chris Tucker) who when held prisoner by the the bad guys says: "What the FUCK!?!?" All this won't be easy seeing that an old rival with a score to settle (Lawrence Fishburne) has secrets regarding his messy life of crime. Just as our hero are marching off on their suicidal mission, they suddenly lapse into a sing-along of Magic Carpet Ride much to the dismay of NASA . In a stunning climax the President delivers a decree to the governments of the world. While this dramatic grandstanding happens he says: "Nothing could have ever prepared me for this day. This is the dawn of a new tomorrow." An NCAA weapons expert watching a TV in a store window retorts: "I pray to God he's right." Coming this spring.
