The Plot... A plane full of lethal poisonous gas has been hijacked by military genius (Robert Vaughn). With the help of a contracted explosives specialist, the ATF hopes to reclaim the borrowed computer chips and get them back to their owner. The NCAA, with the assistance of Stanley Wrightstitch (Ed Begely, Jr.), must mountain bike through the rain forest to return the hijacked thermo-nuclear explosives safely to the English people. And if this wasn't enough, he has only 5 weeks to do it. With the help of a retired weapons specialist (Bruce Willis), our hero must skateboard through the rain forest to deliver the borrowed CIA information in a timely manner to the Japanese government. All this turns sour as he realises that his common law wife (Charlize Theron) has been working with the the villain. Also we have the madcap slapstick of a sass-talking soul brother (Chris Tucker) who when captured by the the bad guys says: "When I get outta here, I'm gonna kick yo WHITE ASS!" It will prove difficult seeing that a nosy reporter (Al Pacino) has secrets regarding his ugly past. Just as our hero are setting out on their dangerous mission, they poorly lapse into a sing-along of Leavin' on a Jetplane much to the chagrin of NASA . In the eleventh hour the President fumbles through a speech to the governments of the world. As this dramatic grandstanding unfolds he says: "When I took office, they never told me THIS would happen. Drop the bombs, Commander." An ATF chemical expert watching a TV in a store window answers this with: "I pray to God he's right." Coming this winter. Rated R Running time 259 minutes Directed by: Wes Craven Projected Critic Rating:
