The Plot... A cargo donkey train full of government secrets has been borrowed by the most dangerous terrorist in the world (John Lithgow). With the aid of a government chemical expert, the NCAA hopes to intercept the pilfered computer chips and get them back to their native land. The FBI, with the aid of Carter Speedgood (Tom Cruise), must jet ski through the San Fransisco to deliver the stolen thermo-nuclear explosives safely to the Argentinian people. As if this wasn't enough, he has a smidge less than 10 weeks to do it. With the assistance of a leather-faced veteran (Jon Voight), the good guys must jet ski through the New Jersy Turnpike to deliver the pilfered government secrets promptly to the American people. All this turns sour as he figures out that his common law wife (Angelina Jolie) has been working with the the villain. Added to the mix you see the loveable tomfoolery of a sass-talking soul brother (Chris Tucker) who when kidnapped by the the villain says: "What kinda FUCKED up place is this?!?!" However this will prove difficult seeing that a nosy reporter (Samuel L. Jackson) has secrets concerning his sordid life of crime. Just as the good guy are departing on their suicidal mission, they suddenly all burst into a sing-along of Hotel California much to the disappointment of the ATF . In a stunning climax the President issues a speech to the citizens of the world. While this dramatic grandstanding drags on he says: "Here we stand, at the dawn of a new tomorrow. Drop the bombs, Commander." A PMRC weapons hacker in the crowd retorts: "He better be right... for our sake." Coming next summer.
