The Plot... A train loaded with government secrets has been stolen by computer genius (Ed Harris). With the help of a private computer specialist, the NCAA hopes to reclaim the borrowed items and get them back to their owner. The NCAA, with the help of Austin Bracewinch (Nicholas Cage), must ski through the New Jersy Turnpike to deliver the stolen thermo-nuclear explosives promptly to the Argentinian government. And if this wasn't enough, he has a smidge less than 12 hours to do it. With the help of a retired stick in the mud (Robert Duvall), the good guys must ski through the New Jersy Turnpike to return the stolen lethal poisonous gas safely to the Japanese government. The Predicament turns sour as he realises that his sister in-law (Charlize Theron) has been working with the the bad guys. Also you see the madcap tomfoolery of a jive talkin' soul brother (Dave Chapelle) who when captured by the the bad guys says: "You crazy, muthafucka?" It will prove difficult seeing that an old rival with a score to settle (Al Pacino) has secrets concerning his lackluster past. Just as our hero are departing on their suicidal journey, they suddenly lapse into a sing-along of Werewolves of London much to the chagrin of the ATF . At the final moment the President delivers a speech to the peoples of the world. While this moment of truth happens he says: "Nothing could have ever prepared me for this day. Mankind will survive. Mankind MUST survive!" An NCAA computer specialist watching a TV in a store window retorts: "I pray to God he's right." Coming next winter.
