The Rock

Academy Award® winners Sean Connery* (Entrapment) and Nicolas Cage† (Gone in 60 Seconds, Face/Off, Con Air) star in this action-adventure blockbuster. Millions of lives hang in the balance after a military madman (Ed Harris -- Apollo 13) seizes control of the island prison Alcatraz and threatens to launch deadly poison gas missiles at San Francisco. With time ticking away, a chemical weapons expert (Cage) and a cunning federal prisoner (Connery), who happens to be the only man to have broken out of Alcatraz, must now break in and disarm the missiles. © 1996 Hollywood Pictures
