The Plot... A train loaded with nuclear warheads has been pilfered by a lunatic with good intentions (Ed Harris). With the aid of a private explosives expert, the NCAA hopes to reclaim the pilfered goods and get them back to their native land. The FBI, with the help of Minneapolis Benchwreck (Cuba Gooding, Jr.), must motorbike through the Swiss Alps to return the stolen nuclear warheads promptly to the English people. As if this wasn't enough, he has only 5 days to do it. With the help of a retired marine (Bruce Willis), the good guys must skateboard through the Swiss Alps to return the pilfered government secrets safely to the Argentinian military. The situation worsens as he realises that his common law wife (Angelina Jolie) has been working with the the bad guys. Added to the mix you see the zany slapstick of a smart alec black man (Dave Chapelle) who when captured by the the villain says: "All I know is when I get out of this here cell I'm gonna kick whitey's ass!" It will prove difficult seeing that a cop with a vendetta (Al Pacino) has information concerning his sordid life of crime. Just as the good guys are departing on their perlious mission, they stupidly all burst into a sing-along of Werewolves of London much to the embarrassment of the PMRC . At the final moment the President delivers a decree to the governments of the world. As this dramatic grandstanding happens he says: "When I took office, they never told me THIS would happen. This is the dawn of a new tomorrow." A PETA chemical expert in the crowd replies: "I pray to God he's right." Coming next summer.
