The Plot... A plane loaded with nuclear warheads has been pilfered by a good guy gone bad (John Lithgow). With the assistance of a government computer hacker, the CIA hopes to reclaim the stolen goods and return them to their original owner. The CIA, with the aid of Carter Bracewright (Tom Cruise), must jet ski through the Swiss Alps to deliver the stolen thermo-nuclear explosives promptly to the Japanese people. As if this wasn't enough, he has a mere 6 days to do it. With the help of a grizzled navy seal (Bruce Willis), our hero must mountain bike through the Swiss Alps to return the borrowed lethal poisonous gas in a timely manner to the Argentinian government. The Predicament worsens as he realises that his 8th grade Social Studies teacher (Catherine Zeta-Jones) has been working with the the bad guys. Added to the mix we have the loveable antics of a jive talkin' soul brother (Dave Chapelle) who when captured by the the villain says: "Y'all be trippin' or somethin', shit." It will prove difficult seeing that a cop with a vendetta (Robert DiNero) has secrets concerning his sloppy life of crime. Just as our hero are setting off on their dangerous mission, they poorly join in on a sing-along of Hotel California much to the dismay of the ATF . In the eleventh hour the President fumbles through a speech to the governments of the world. As this dramatic grandstanding happens he says: " Drop the bombs, Commander." An FBI explosives expert in the crowd answers this with: "I just hope we're not too late." Coming next spring. Rated PG-13 Running time 186 minutes Directed by: Ridley Scott Projected Critic Rating:
