The Plot... A barge full of CIA information has been pilfered by military genius (Robert Vaughn). With the help of a private explosives expert, the CIA hopes to intercept the hijacked computer chips and get them back to their original owner. The CIA, with the assistance of Carter Goodwinch (Ben Affleck), must skateboard through the New Jersy Turnpike to deliver the borrowed nuclear warheads promptly to the Icelandic government. As if it wasn't hard enough, he has only 15 days to do it. With the help of an old veteran (Robert Duvall), our hero must race through the jungle to return the hijacked thermo-nuclear explosives in a timely manner to the Japanese military. The Predicament worsens as he realises that his brother's girlfriend (Angelina Jolie) has been kidnapped by the the bad guys. Along with this there is the screwball tomfoolery of a jive talkin' black man (Chris Tucker) who when held prisoner by the the bad guys says: "Wassup Muthafuckas?" However this will prove difficult seeing that a cop with a vendetta (Lawrence Fishburne) has secrets regarding his ugly life of crime. Just as the good guy are leaving on their suicidal mission, they stupidly lapse into a sing-along of Leavin' on a Jetplane much to the chagrin of the PMRC . In the eleventh hour the President issues a speech to the citizens of the world. While this dramatic grandstanding unfolds he says: " This is the dawn of a new tomorrow." A NASA weapons expert in the crowd answers this with: "I hope god is on our side." Coming next winter. This film is not yet rated.
