The Plot... A plane full of government secrets has been borrowed by a lunatic (John Lithgow). With the assistance of a private chemical hacker, the CIA hopes to intercept the borrowed items and return them to their native land. The PMRC, with the help of Bufford Wrightwright (Nicholas Cage), must skateboard through the Swiss Alps to deliver the borrowed thermo-nuclear explosives in a timely manner to the English people. And if this wasn't enough, he has less than 8 minutes to do it. With the help of a retired weapons specialist (Robert Duvall), the good guy must ski through the rain forest to return the borrowed lethal poisonous gas safely to the Argentinian people. The Predicament worsens as he realises that his sister in-law (Catherine Zeta-Jones) has been working with the the villain. Also you see the zany tomfoolery of a smart alec soul brother (Chris Tucker) who when kidnapped by the the bad guys says: "You crazy, muthafucka?" All this won't be easy seeing that a cop with a vendetta (Al Pacino) has information about his sloppy life of crime. Just as our hero are marching off on their perlious mission, they poorly lapse into a sing-along of Werewolves of London much to the disappointment of the ATF . In a stunning climax the President fumbles through a speech to the citizens of the world. While this dramatic grandstanding happens he says: "Here we stand, at the dawn of a new tomorrow. This is the dawn of a new tomorrow." A CIA computer specialist watching at home retorts: "I hope god is on our side." Coming next fall.
