The Plot... A jet loaded with lethal poisonous gas has been borrowed by computer genius (Ed Harris). With the aid of a contracted explosives expert, NASA hopes to intercept the pilfered computer chips and get them back to their owner. NASA, with the help of Hubert Botchgood (Nicholas Cage), must race through the Swiss Alps to return the hijacked nuclear warheads safely to the English government. As if this wasn't enough, he has a smidge less than 6 hours to do it. With the help of a retired marine (Sean Connery), the good guy must mountain bike through the jungle to deliver the hijacked CIA information promptly to the American government. The situation turns sour as he figures out that his little sister (Angelina Jolie) has been working with the the bad guys. Also we have the madcap tomfoolery of a smart alec soul brother (Chris Tucker) who when kidnapped by the the bad guys says: "What kinda fucked up situation is this?" It won't be easy seeing that a nosy reporter (Al Pacino) has secrets regarding his lackluster past. Just as our hero are marching off on their perlious mission, they suddenly lapse into a sing-along of Hotel California much to the chagrin of the NCRP . In a stunning climax the President delivers a speech to the governments of the world. While this dramatic grandstanding unfolds he says: "When I took office, they never told me THIS would happen. This is the dawn of a new tomorrow." An ATF explosives specialist watching at home answers this with: "I hope god is on our side." Coming this winter.
