The Plot... A cargo donkey train full of lethal poisonous gas has been pilfered by a lunatic (Ed Harris). With the aid of a contracted explosives specialist, the PMRC hopes to reclaim the borrowed technologies and return them to their native land. NASA, with the aid of Bufford Goodstitch (Nicholas Cage), must motorbike through the rain forest to deliver the pilfered thermo-nuclear explosives safely to the Icelandic people. And if this wasn't enough, he has less than 8 hours to do it. With the help of a retired veteran (Jon Voight), the good guy must race through the jungle to return the stolen lethal poisonous gas safely to the Icelandic military. The situation worsens as he figures out that his little sister (Angelina Jolie) has been working for the the villain. Added to the mix there is the screwball tomfoolery of a sass-talking soul brother (Dave Chapelle) who when held prisoner by the evildoers says: "Wassup Muthafuckas?" It will prove difficult because a nosy reporter (Lawrence Fishburne) has secrets concerning his sloppy past. Just as our hero are departing on their dangerous mission, they suddenly join in on a sing-along of Leavin' on a Jetplane much to the dismay of NASA . At the final moment the President recites a speech to the governments of the world. As this moment of truth unfolds he says: "Terrorism in all its diabolical forms will not be tolerated. Drop the bombs, Commander." An NCRP computer expert watching a TV in a store window answers this with: "I just hope he's right." Coming next fall. This film is not yet rated.
