There's plenty of pow-wow action, slam-bam crashes and explosions and suspense in this show to keep you movie-adrenaline junkies happy. There's nothing really original here, just a little something borrowed from the movie "Speed", where a bus had to maintain a minimum of 50 mph so a bomb aboard wouldn't explode. In "Chill Factor," they have to keep the bomb cooler than 50 degrees so it won't detonate. Talk about originality!

The two guys here are Mason (Skeet Ulrich), a night-shift cook at a small town diner, and Arlo (Cuba Gooding Jr.), an ice-cream delivery-truck driver with a smart mouth. They are thrown together when Mason's fishing buddy, Dr Richard Long, dying, bleeding and with a bullet in his gut, entrusts Mason with the bomb with instructions to get it to a nearby Army base. But there's a catch, they have to keep it below 50 degrees or it will detonate. So here's where Arlo's beat-up old ice-cream truck comes in handy.

Hot on their heels are the bad guys who want the bomb. That would be Major Brynner (Peter Firth), your basic demented, disgruntled man in uniform who believes the government did him wrong for Imprisoning him for 10 years when an earlier test of said bomb kill some 18 people. So Brynner stormed the research facility, determined to get the weapon and sell it to the highest bidder in Karachi or Beijing or Taiwan - you get the idea. When Dr Long escaped with the bomb and entrusted it to Mason, the chase is on. Our two regular guys turned heros are pursued by Brynner and his henchmen (and woman) in black minivans, black motorcycles and black leather.
