On a remote island in the South Pacific, a secretweapons project (code name "Elvis") goes wrong, and a newchemical weapon, safe when frozen but deadly when thawed, isallowed to escape. Eighteen soldiers are killed, leaving behind onlythe scientist who created the formula and the officer in charge of theproject, who is saddled with most of the blame. Ten years later, TimMason (Skeet Ulrich) is working at a diner in Montana when an oldfriend, Dr. Richard Long (David Paymer), is seriously wounded by Maj. Andrew Brynner (Peter Firth). It seems that Dr. Long helpedcreated Elvis and Maj. Brynner was the officer who took the fall forthe disaster ten years ago. Near death, Long gives Elvis to Masonand tells him that it has to be kept solidly frozen and delivered toFort Magruder, 90 miles away. But how to keep it at zero degreesuntil then? A logical solution presents itself when Arlo (Cuba Gooding Jr.), who drives an ice cream truck, makes a delivery to thediner. Mason drafts Arlo into helping him transport Elvis to safety,and before long Brynner's men are hot on the trail of the icychemical weapon.
