"Welcome to The Rock.” What better phrase to start an article about the movie starring three legends: Sean Connery, Nicolas Cage, and Ed Harris?
This movie tells the story of the rescue of 81 hostages held in the legendary maximum-security prison of Alcatraz (known as “The Rock” for being impenetrable). The villains? A group of USMC Recon Marines led by General Hummel (Ed Harris), a veteran and war hero. Tired of seeing the government tarnish the memory of special forces soldiers killed in action and neglect their families, Hummel raids a naval arsenal, steals 15 missiles armed with VX nerve gas, and threatens to fire them at San Francisco unless he is paid $100 million for the families of the fallen.
To free the hostages, after an entire SEAL team is wiped out, the authorities are forced to rely on an FBI lab rat, Stanley Goodspeed (Nicolas Cage), and the only man who ever escaped from Alcatraz: British agent John Mason (Sean Connery), who was captured in the 1960s after spying for the British government and stealing microfilms containing the darkest secrets of the U.S., such as the Roswell aliens, the JFK assassination, and more.
