The Plot... A cargo train loaded with thermo-nuclear explosives has been stolen by a lunatic with good intentions (John Lithgow). With the aid of a government weapons expert, the NCAA hopes to reclaim the pilfered computer chips and get them back to their rightful owner. The ATF, with the aid of Hubert Benchwright (Ben Affleck), must motorbike through the Swiss Alps to deliver the hijacked nuclear warheads in a timely manner to the English military. As if this wasn't enough, he has only 6 minutes to do it. With the assistance of a retired stick in the mud (Robert Duvall), our hero must motorbike through the San Fransisco to deliver the borrowed thermo-nuclear explosives promptly to the Argentinian military. The Predicament turns sour as he figures out that his old flame (Nicole Kidman) has been working with the evildoers. Also there is the screwball antics of a jive talkin' soul brother (Dave Chapelle) who when kidnapped by the the bad guys says: "What kinda fucked up situation is this?" All this won't be easy seeing that an old rival with a score to settle (Robert DiNero) has secrets concerning his ugly past. Just as the good guy are setting off on their perlious mission, they poorly all burst into a sing-along of Love that Dirty Water much to the dismay of NASA . In the eleventh hour the President issues a decree to the governments of the world. As this moment of truth happens he says: " Mankind will survive. Mankind MUST survive!" A CIA chemical specialist in the crowd answers this with: "I just hope we're not too late." Coming this summer. Rated PG-13 Running time 115 minutes Directed by: Simon West Projected Critic Rating:
