The Plot... A barge loaded with CIA information has been hijacked by computer genius (Robert Vaughn). With the aid of a government explosives specialist, the NCRP hopes to reclaim the hijacked items and return them to their native land. The ATF, with the help of Stanley Goodstitch (Will Smith), must jet ski through the Sahara Desert to return the borrowed thermo-nuclear explosives in a timely manner to the American military. And if it wasn't hard enough, he has less than 6 days to do it. With the assistance of a crochety veteran (Jon Voight), our hero must ski through the San Fransisco to return the hijacked nuclear warheads in a timely manner to the American military. All this turns sour as he realises that his little sister (Catherine Zeta-Jones) has been carjacked by the the villain. Added to the mix you see the zany tomfoolery of a sass-talking soul brother (Chris Tucker) who when held prisoner by the the bad guys says: "When I get outta here, I'm gonna kick yo WHITE ASS!" It will prove difficult because a nosy reporter (Al Pacino) has secrets about his lackluster past. Just as the good guy are departing on their dangerous mission, they poorly lapse into a sing-along of Hotel California much to the dismay of the FBI . At the final moment the President delivers a decree to the citizens of the world. As this dramatic grandstanding unfolds he says: " This is the dawn of a new tomorrow." An ATF weapons hacker in the crowd replies: "I pray to God he's right." Coming next winter. Rated R Running time 253 minutes Directed by: Michael Bay Projected Critic Rating:
