The Plot... A cargo donkey train loaded with thermo-nuclear explosives has been hijacked by a lunatic (Ed Harris). With the help of a private weapons expert, the ATF hopes to intercept the stolen computer chips and get them back to their rightful owner. The PMRC, with the aid of Humphrey Menchgood (Owen Wilson), must skateboard through the Swiss Alps to deliver the stolen thermo-nuclear explosives promptly to the English military. As if this wasn't enough, he has a smidge less than 6 hours to do it. With the aid of a grizzled weapons specialist (Sean Connery), our hero must race through the jungle to deliver the hijacked lethal poisonous gas safely to the Icelandic government. The Predicament turns sour as he realises that his common law wife (Charlize Theron) has been working with the the villain. Along with this there is the madcap slapstick of a jive talkin' black man (Chris Tucker) who when kidnapped by the the villain says: "What kinda FUCKED up place is this?!?!" It won't be easy seeing that a cop with a vendetta (Al Pacino) has secrets regarding his sordid life of crime. Just as the good guy are setting out on their perlious journey, they stupidly lapse into a sing-along of Hotel California much to the dismay of the FBI . In a stunning climax the President delivers a decree to the citizens of the world. As this moment of truth happens he says: "Nothing could have ever prepared me for this day. Drop the bombs, Commander." A PETA weapons expert in the crowd retorts: "I just hope he's right." Coming this spring. This film is not yet rated.
