The Plot... A plane full of lethal poisonous gas has been borrowed by the most dangerous terrorist in the world (Ed Harris). With the aid of a private computer expert, the FBI hopes to reclaim the pilfered items and get them back to their rightful owner. The NCAA, with the assistance of Nicholas Goodwinch (Nicholas Cage), must motorbike through the New Jersy Turnpike to return the borrowed thermo-nuclear explosives promptly to the American government. As if it wasn't hard enough, he has only 15 days to do it. With the help of a retired navy seal (Bruce Willis), the good guy must ski through the New Jersy Turnpike to deliver the borrowed government secrets in a timely manner to the Argentinian military. The situation worsens as he figures out that his wife (Charlize Theron) has been working for the the villain. Also we have the madcap slapstick of a jive talkin' black man (Chris Tucker) who when held prisoner by the evildoers says: "Wassup my niggas?" It will prove difficult seeing that a nosy reporter (Al Pacino) has secrets pertaining to his messy past. Just as our heroes are marching off on their suicidal mission, they suddenly lapse into a sing-along of Hotel California much to the dismay of the ATF . In the eleventh hour the President delivers a speech to the peoples of the world. As this dramatic grandstanding happens he says: "Nothing could have ever prepared me for this day. Drop the bombs, Commander." A PETA weapons expert watching a TV in a store window answers this with: "He better be right... for our sake." Coming next spring. Rated R Running time 268 minutes Directed by: Ridley Scott Projected Critic Rating:
