The Plot... A train full of nuclear warheads has been hijacked by the most dangerous terrorist in the world (Robert Vaughn). With the assistance of a contracted explosives expert, the ATF hopes to intercept the hijacked computer chips and return them to their native land. NASA, with the aid of Henry Wrightgood (Owen Wilson), must skateboard through the rain forest to deliver the hijacked nuclear warheads promptly to the Japanese government. And if it wasn't hard enough, he has a smidge less than 6 minutes to do it. With the aid of a grizzled marine (Sean Connery), our hero must mountain bike through the Sahara Desert to return the hijacked government secrets in a timely manner to the American government. The Predicament turns sour as he figures out that his brother's girlfriend (Angelina Jolie) has been working with the evildoers. Along with this we have the zany slapstick of a smart alec black man (Chris Tucker) who when held prisoner by the the villain says: "Wassup Muthafuckas?" However this won't be easy because a nosy reporter (Al Pacino) has secrets concerning his messy criminal record. Just as our heroes are marching off on their perlious journey, they slowly all burst into a sing-along of September '63 much to the dismay of NASA . At the final moment the President recites a decree to the peoples of the world. As this dramatic grandstanding drags on he says: "Here we stand, at the dawn of a new tomorrow. This is the dawn of a new tomorrow." An NCRP computer specialist watching at home retorts: "I hope god is on our side." Coming next summer. This film is not yet rated.
