A store clerk and an ice cream truck driver are thrown together when a dying scientist entrusts them with a deadly chemical kept in ice. This chemical will kill every living thing once it melts. They have to take the chemical codenamed 'Elvis' to the next nearest military base while being chased by terrorists who want it to hold the country for ransom.

That ice cream truck took a BEATING and kept ticking.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was director Hugh Johnson's only feature film; he spent his career as a cinematographer on music videos for Madonna and U2.
Released nine months after Gooding Jr.'s Oscar win for Jerry Maguire, this became a case study in 'what happens after the trophy.'
