Academy Award winners Sean Connery and Nicholas Cage star in the action-adventure that critics are hailing as the drop-dead thrill ride of the year... The Rock! 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 break out of Alcatraz, must now break in and disarm the missiles! From the hot filmmaking team that brought you Crimson Tide and Top Gun, The Rock delivers hard-hitting action and suspense you'll never forget!
