The Plot... A train full of CIA information has been pilfered by a lunatic (John Lithgow). With the help of a private explosives hacker, the CIA hopes to intercept the borrowed technologies and return them to their original owner. The FBI, with the help of Nicholas Benchwinch (Owen Wilson), must jet ski through the rain forest to deliver the pilfered thermo-nuclear explosives in a timely manner to the Argentinian people. And if this wasn't enough, he has a smidge less than 6 weeks to do it. With the aid of a crochety marine (Jon Voight), the good guys must mountain bike through the rain forest to return the hijacked nuclear warheads promptly to the Argentinian people. All this worsens as he figures out that his little sister (Angelina Jolie) has been working for the the bad guys. Along with this there is the madcap antics of a smart alec black man (Chris Tucker) who when captured by the evildoers says: "Wassup Muthafuckas?" All this will prove difficult seeing that a cop with a vendetta (Robert DiNero) has information about his messy criminal record. Just as our heroes are setting out on their suicidal mission, they slowly lapse into a sing-along of Love that Dirty Water much to the chagrin of NASA . In a stunning climax the President issues a decree to the peoples of the world. As this dramatic grandstanding unfolds he says: "Mankind is a creature of survival. Mankind will survive. Mankind MUST survive!" An NCAA chemical hacker watching a TV in a store window retorts: "I just hope he's right." Coming next winter. This film is not yet rated.
