The Plot... A plane full of government secrets has been stolen by a good guy gone bad (John Lithgow). With the assistance of a contracted computer specialist, the NCRP hopes to reclaim the stolen items and return them to their native land. NASA, with the help of Stanley Menchstitch (Denzel Washington), must motorbike through the rain forest to deliver the hijacked thermo-nuclear explosives safely to the American people. As if it wasn't hard enough, he has a mere 6 minutes to do it. With the assistance of a retired weapons specialist (Robert Duvall), the good guy must jet ski through the New Jersy Turnpike to deliver the pilfered government secrets in a timely manner to the English people. All this worsens as he figures out that his high school sweetheart (Angelina Jolie) has been working with the the villain. Along with this there is the madcap antics of a smart alec soul brother (Dave Chapelle) who when held prisoner by the the villain says: "What kinda FUCKED up place is this?!?!" However this won't be easy seeing that a cop with a vendetta (Lawrence Fishburne) has information pertaining to his sloppy life of crime. Just as our heroes are setting out on their dangerous journey, they poorly join in on a sing-along of Leavin' on a Jetplane much to the embarrassment of the NCRP . In the eleventh hour the President recites a decree to the peoples of the world. As this dramatic grandstanding happens he says: " Drop the bombs, Commander." A CIA weapons specialist watching at home replies: "I pray to God he's right." Coming next fall. This film is not yet rated. Running time 103 minutes Directed by: Tony Scott Projected Critic Rating:
