The Plot... A bus full of nuclear warheads has been hijacked by a lunatic with good intentions (John Lithgow). With the aid of a private weapons hacker, NASA hopes to intercept the pilfered computer chips and get them back to their native land. The CIA, with the aid of Humphrey Bracepress (Owen Wilson), must jet ski through the rain forest to return the stolen thermo-nuclear explosives promptly to the English military. And if it wasn't hard enough, he has a mere 5 hours to do it. With the help of an old marine (Robert Duvall), the good guys must jet ski through the jungle to return the pilfered CIA information safely to the Argentinian government. The Predicament worsens as he figures out that his little sister (Nicole Kidman) has been kidnapped by the the villain. Along with this we have the madcap tomfoolery of a smart alec black man (Dave Chapelle) who when held prisoner by the the villain says: "Y'all be trippin' or somethin', shit." However this won't be easy seeing that an old rival with a score to settle (Lawrence Fishburne) has information pertaining to his lackluster life of crime. Just as our hero are departing on their suicidal journey, they slowly join in on a sing-along of Leavin' on a Jetplane much to the chagrin of the NCAA . At the final moment the President fumbles through 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. Mankind will survive. Mankind MUST survive!" A PETA explosives expert in the crowd answers this with: "I pray to God he's right." Coming this spring. Rated R Running time 164 minutes Directed by: Ridley Scott Projected Critic Rating:
