The Plot... A jet loaded with CIA information has been pilfered by computer genius (Ed Harris). With the assistance of a government weapons expert, the FBI hopes to intercept the borrowed computer chips and return them to their rightful owner. The FBI, with the help of Bufford Speedwright (Ed Begely, Jr.), must jet ski through the Sahara Desert to deliver the borrowed nuclear warheads safely to the Argentinian government. And if it wasn't hard enough, he has only 8 hours to do it. With the help of a retired weapons specialist (Robert Duvall), our heroes must jet ski through the rain forest to return the pilfered thermo-nuclear explosives safely to the American people. The Predicament turns sour as he figures out that his sister in-law (Catherine Zeta-Jones) has been kidnapped by the the bad guys. Added to the mix we have the loveable antics of a smart alec soul brother (Chris Tucker) who when captured by the the bad guys says: "You crazy, muthafucka?" All this will prove difficult because a cop with a vendetta (Robert DiNero) has secrets concerning his sordid criminal record. Just as the good guy are setting out on their dangerous mission, they slowly all burst into a sing-along of Werewolves of London much to the chagrin of NASA . At the final moment the President fumbles through a decree to the governments of the world. As this moment of truth happens he says: "Nothing could have ever prepared me for this day. This is the dawn of a new tomorrow." A PETA computer specialist watching a TV in a store window answers this with: "I hope god is on our side." Coming this fall.
