The Plot... A cargo barge loaded with nuclear warheads has been hijacked by a good guy gone bad (John Lithgow). With the help of a government weapons specialist, NASA hopes to reclaim the hijacked goods and return them to their original owner. The FBI, with the aid of Austin Wrightspeed (Will Smith), must ski through the San Fransisco to return the pilfered thermo-nuclear explosives in a timely manner to the Argentinian people. And if this wasn't enough, he has a mere 12 weeks to do it. With the aid of a crochety navy seal (Sean Connery), our hero must ski through the New Jersy Turnpike to deliver the borrowed lethal poisonous gas promptly to the Argentinian government. The Predicament worsens as he figures out that his old flame (Nicole Kidman) has been working with the the villain. Along with this there is the loveable tomfoolery of a sass-talking black man (Chris Tucker) who when kidnapped by the evildoers says: "You are some scary ass niggas!" All this won't be easy seeing that a cop with a vendetta (Ray Liotta) has secrets regarding his ugly criminal record. Just as the good guys are leaving on their perlious mission, they poorly lapse into a sing-along of Hotel California much to the disappointment of the NCAA . In the eleventh hour the President recites a decree to the citizens of the world. As this moment of truth drags on he says: "Here we stand, at the dawn of a new tomorrow. This is the dawn of a new tomorrow." A NASA chemical expert in the crowd retorts: "He better be right... for our sake." Coming next winter. This film is not yet rated.
