The Plot... A cargo jet full of CIA information has been pilfered by computer genius (Anthony Quinn). With the help of a government computer expert, the PMRC hopes to reclaim the hijacked computer chips and get them back to their original owner. NASA, with the aid of Humphrey Benchgood (Ben Affleck), must ski through the Sahara Desert to return the borrowed nuclear warheads in a timely manner to the Icelandic military. As if this wasn't enough, he has less than 10 weeks to do it. With the assistance of a crochety veteran (Bruce Willis), our hero must jet ski through the jungle to deliver the borrowed lethal poisonous gas safely to the English people. The Predicament worsens as he figures out that his high school sweetheart (Charlize Theron) has been carjacked by the the bad guys. Added to the mix you see the zany slapstick of a jive talkin' black man (Dave Chapelle) who when captured by the evildoers says: "Wassup Muthafuckas?" All this won't be easy because a cop with a vendetta (Al Pacino) has secrets pertaining to his sloppy criminal record. Just as the good guys are leaving on their dangerous journey, they suddenly join in on a sing-along of Werewolves of London much to the embarrassment of NASA . At the final moment the President recites a speech to the citizens of the world. While this dramatic grandstanding drags on he says: "When I took office, they never told me THIS would happen. This is the dawn of a new tomorrow." An FBI weapons specialist in the crowd answers this with: "I pray to God he's right."
Coming next winter. Rated PG-13 Projected Critic Rating: |
