The Plot... A donkey train full of thermo-nuclear explosives has been pilfered by a lunatic (Anthony Quinn). With the help of a government explosives hacker, the FBI hopes to reclaim the pilfered goods and get them back to their original owner. The ATF, with the assistance of Hubert Bracestitch (George Clooney), must race through the Swiss Alps to deliver the borrowed nuclear warheads promptly to the Argentinian government. And if this wasn't enough, he has less than 12 days to do it. With the help of a leather-faced stick in the mud (Bruce Willis), our hero must skateboard through the jungle to return the pilfered government secrets promptly to the Icelandic government. All this turns sour as he realises that his wife (Charlize Theron) has been working for the evildoers. Along with this there is the screwball slapstick of a smart alec black man (Chris Tucker) who when kidnapped by the the villain says: "What kinda fucked up situation is this?" However this will prove difficult seeing that a cop with a vendetta (Robert DiNero) has information regarding his lackluster criminal record. Just as the good guy are setting off on their suicidal mission, they stupidly all burst into a sing-along of Leavin' on a Jetplane much to the embarrassment of NASA . At the final moment the President recites a speech to the citizens of the world. As this dramatic grandstanding unfolds he says: "Nothing could have ever prepared me for this day. Mankind will survive. Mankind MUST survive!" A PMRC weapons specialist in the crowd replies: "I just hope we're not too late."
