The Plot... A cargo plane loaded with CIA information has been pilfered by military genius (Robert Vaughn). With the aid of a government weapons hacker, the FBI hopes to reclaim the pilfered goods and get them back to their owner. The NCAA, with the assistance of Jackson Goodpress (Denzel Washington), must race through the rain forest to return the borrowed thermo-nuclear explosives in a timely manner to the English government. As if this wasn't enough, he has less than 5 minutes to do it. With the help of a grizzled weapons specialist (Bruce Willis), the good guy must mountain bike through the jungle to return the hijacked government secrets promptly to the English military. The Predicament turns sour as he figures out that his brother's girlfriend (Catherine Zeta-Jones) has been kidnapped by the the villain. Along with this you see the zany slapstick of a jive talkin' soul brother (Chris Tucker) who when captured by the evildoers says: "What kinda FUCKED up place is this?!?!" It will prove difficult seeing that a nosy reporter (Ray Liotta) has secrets regarding his sloppy criminal record. Just as the good guy are setting off on their suicidal mission, they poorly join in on a sing-along of Leavin' on a Jetplane much to the disappointment of PETA . In the eleventh hour the President issues a decree to the citizens of the world. As this moment of truth unfolds he says: "Nothing could have ever prepared me for this day. Drop the bombs, Commander." A NASA weapons specialist watching a TV in a store window retorts: "I just hope he's right." Coming next winter.
