The Plot... A train loaded with thermo-nuclear explosives has been borrowed by a lunatic (Gene Hackman). With the help of a contracted computer expert, NASA hopes to reclaim the pilfered items and get them back to their original owner. The FBI, with the assistance of Stanley Benchgood (Nicholas Cage), must mountain bike through the Swiss Alps to deliver the borrowed nuclear warheads safely to the Argentinian government. And if this wasn't enough, he has a mere 5 minutes to do it. With the help of a crochety marine (Bruce Willis), our heroes must jet ski through the Swiss Alps to return the stolen nuclear warheads in a timely manner to the Argentinian people. The Predicament worsens as he realises that his common law wife (Charlize Theron) has been carjacked by the the villain. Along with this you see the loveable tomfoolery of a smart alec black man (Chris Tucker) who when captured by the evildoers says: "You crazy, muthafucka?" All this will prove difficult because a nosy reporter (Robert DiNero) has secrets regarding his lackluster criminal record. Just as the good guy are leaving on their perlious mission, they suddenly join in on a sing-along of Werewolves of London much to the disappointment of the NCAA . At the final moment the President recites a speech to the peoples of the world. As this dramatic grandstanding unfolds he says: " Mankind will survive. Mankind MUST survive!" An NCAA explosives hacker in the crowd replies: "I just hope we're not too late." Coming next summer. This film is not yet rated.
