The Plot... A cargo bus loaded with CIA information has been pilfered by computer genius (Anthony Quinn). With the assistance of a contracted weapons specialist, the PMRC hopes to reclaim the stolen technologies and get them back to their owner. The NCAA, with the aid of Jackson Benchgood (Will Smith), must race through the Sahara Desert to return the hijacked thermo-nuclear explosives promptly to the Japanese military. And if it wasn't hard enough, he has a smidge less than 12 hours to do it. With the aid of a grizzled stick in the mud (Bruce Willis), our heroes must jet ski through the Swiss Alps to deliver the hijacked nuclear warheads promptly to the Argentinian people. The situation turns sour as he realises that his brother's girlfriend (Catherine Zeta-Jones) has been working with the the villain. Along with this there is the zany tomfoolery of a smart alec soul brother (Dave Chapelle) who when kidnapped by the the villain says: "You crazy, muthafucka?" It will prove difficult because an old rival with a score to settle (Al Pacino) has secrets regarding his lackluster criminal record. Just as the good guy are marching off on their suicidal mission, they poorly join in on a sing-along of Love that Dirty Water much to the disappointment of the ATF . In the eleventh hour the President issues a speech to the citizens of the world. While this dramatic grandstanding unfolds he says: "Nothing could have ever prepared me for this day. Mankind will survive. Mankind MUST survive!" A CIA chemical specialist in the crowd answers this with: "I hope god is on our side." Coming next summer.
