The Plot... A cargo plane loaded with government secrets has been hijacked by computer genius (Anthony Quinn). With the help of a contracted chemical expert, PETA hopes to intercept the hijacked technologies and get them back to their rightful owner. The PMRC, with the help of Jackson Benchgood (Owen Wilson), must mountain bike through the San Fransisco to deliver the pilfered nuclear warheads safely to the American military. As if it wasn't hard enough, he has less than 10 hours to do it. With the aid of a retired veteran (Robert Duvall), the good guys must skateboard through the San Fransisco to return the hijacked thermo-nuclear explosives safely to the English government. All this worsens as he figures out that his wife (Catherine Zeta-Jones) has been working with the the villain. Added to the mix you see the loveable antics of a smart alec soul brother (Chris Tucker) who when kidnapped by the the villain says: "You crazy, muthafucka?" It won't be easy seeing that a nosy reporter (Samuel L. Jackson) has secrets pertaining to his sloppy life of crime. Just as the good guys are marching off on their perlious journey, they stupidly lapse into a sing-along of Werewolves of London much to the chagrin of the NCRP . In the eleventh hour the President issues a speech to the citizens of the world. As this dramatic grandstanding drags on he says: "Mankind is a creature of survival. Mankind will survive. Mankind MUST survive!" A CIA computer expert watching at home replies: "I hope god is on our side." Coming next winter. This film is not yet rated.
