In Michael Bay's THE ROCK, gung-ho general Francis Hummel (Ed Harris), armed with deadly chemical rockets and aided by violent cohorts, takes over the island of Alcatraz, holding 81 tourists hostage. Hummel promises to deploy the missiles over San Francisco if Washington doesn't make amends to ignored combat victims to the tune of $100 million. A cadre of Navy SEALs are dispatched to quell the situation, assisted by the mysterious, macho John Mason (Sean Connery), the only man to ever escape from Alcatraz, who must now help the SEALs break back in. Joining them is mild-mannered chemical weapons expert Stanley Goodspeed (Nicolas Cage), who is unaccustomed to such things as guns and military maneuvers. Their high-octane mission is filled with surprises, particularly after Hummel and company quickly annihilate the SEALs--leaving Mason and Goodspeed to save the day all by themselves.

    The Rock

    By JMo  Oct 28, 2006

    Pros: Ed Harris, Sean Connery, and Nick Cage

    Cons: The plot.

    My wife and I decided to check out this movie after visiting Alcatraz Island earlier this year. The FBI looks bad in this one as San Francisco is threatened with a chemical attack. The Rock was decent with good performances by Connery, Cage, and Harr...is. They provided funny moments while acting their way through a cheesy plot. It was strange seeing Navy Seals fighting the Marine Corps. Read more Less

    Excellent Movie

    By Byg H  Mar 21, 2005

    Pros: This just rocked case closed

    Cons: It was a lil to short and the ending wasn't as great as I'd hoped

    I thougth Nicholas Cage did a wonderful job and I still feel Sean Connery did such an excellent job that he should have been cast as Magneto in the X-Men movie!
