Hollywood Superstar Sean Connery (The Hunt For Red October) joins Academy Award winner Nicolas Cage (1995 Best Actor - Leaving Las Vegas) in the action-packed thriller of the year, "The Rock!" All of San Francisco is taken hostage when a vengeful General (Ed Harris - Apollo 13) seizes control of Alcatraz Island, threatening to launch missiles loaded with deadly poison gas! With time running out, only a young FBI chemical weapons expert (Cage) and a notorious Federal prisoner (Connery) have the skills to penetrate the island fortress and defuse the lethal situation! Edge-of-your-seat suspense and unstoppable action explode off the screen in this must-see motion picture event!

Synopsis: A highly decorated, retired U.S. Marine general seizes a stockpile of chemical weapons and takes over Alcatraz, with 81 tourists as hostages on the San Francisco Bay Isle. His demand: Restitution to families of soldiers who died in covert operations. The response: An elite Navy SEAL team, with support from an FBI chemical warfare expert and a former Alcatraz escapee, is assembled to penetrate the terrorists' defenses on the island and neutralize the threat before time runs out.
