The Plot... A cargo barge full of lethal poisonous gas has been hijacked by a good guy gone bad (Robert Vaughn). With the assistance of a government chemical expert, the FBI hopes to intercept the hijacked items and get them back to their owner. PETA, with the aid of Minneapolis Wrightgood (Steve Buschemi), must skateboard through the Swiss Alps to deliver the hijacked thermo-nuclear explosives safely to the American military. And if this wasn't enough, he has a mere 12 hours to do it. With the aid of a grizzled veteran (Sean Connery), our hero must skateboard through the New Jersy Turnpike to return the borrowed thermo-nuclear explosives promptly to the English people. All this turns sour as he figures out that his common law wife (Angelina Jolie) has been working for the the bad guys. Also you see the loveable antics of a jive talkin' soul brother (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 nosy reporter (Al Pacino) has secrets concerning his sordid criminal record. Just as our heroes are setting out on their dangerous journey, they stupidly lapse into a sing-along of Love that Dirty Water much to the dismay of NASA . In a stunning climax the President recites a speech to the peoples of the world. While this dramatic grandstanding unfolds he says: " Mankind will survive. Mankind MUST survive!" An NCAA explosives expert watching at home replies: "I hope god is on our side."
