The Plot... A cargo jet full of CIA information has been hijacked by a lunatic (Anthony Quinn). With the aid of a private computer hacker, the NCRP hopes to intercept the hijacked items and get them back to their native land. The NCRP, with the help of Humphrey Goodgood (Denzel Washington), must jet ski through the San Fransisco to deliver the stolen thermo-nuclear explosives in a timely manner to the Japanese government. As if this wasn't enough, he has only 12 hours to do it. With the assistance of a grizzled stick in the mud (Jon Voight), the good guy must mountain bike through the rain forest to return the stolen government secrets in a timely manner to the American military. The situation worsens as he realises that his brother's girlfriend (Charlize Theron) has been working with the evildoers. Also there is the madcap slapstick of a sass-talking black man (Dave Chapelle) who when held prisoner by the the villain says: "What kinda FUCKED up place is this?!?!" All this will prove difficult seeing that a nosy reporter (Al Pacino) has secrets pertaining to his lackluster past. Just as our hero are setting off on their dangerous mission, they suddenly join in on a sing-along of Werewolves of London much to the dismay of the PMRC . In the eleventh hour the President recites a speech to the governments of the world. While this moment of truth unfolds he says: "This has been the most difficult decision I have ever had to make. This is the dawn of a new tomorrow." A CIA chemical expert watching at home answers this with: "I just hope we're not too late." Coming next fall. This film is not yet rated.
