The Rock
Brigadier General Francis X. Hummel (Ed Harris) and a group of renegade commandos get hold of a stockpile of deadly nerve gas rockets and take tourists of the former Alcatraz prison as hostages. They demand one million dollars to each family of war veterans who were killed during covert military operations. They threat to wipe San Francisco off the face of the earth unless their demands are fulfilled. FBI chemical warfare expert Stanley Goodspeed (Nicolas Cage) and an elite SEAL team await the government's command. But the only one who can penetrate into the island fortress is John Patrick Mason (Sean Connery), a former British intelligence agent who also happens to be the only inmate to have ever escaped from the Rock.
