General Hummel (Ed Harris) steels nuclear warheads to Alcatraz (The Rock). Stanley Godspeed (Nicolas Cage) is a scientist that knows how to make the warheads unarmed. John Mason (Sean Connery) is an old escape artist. He has broken out of the Rock twice and is in custody now and he is the right guy to show you the way to the Rock.
This movie is one of my personal best. This is also Michael Bays second full-length movie, his first being Bad Boys. The movie has explosions and car chaises and slow-motion action. It's all that this movie needs and Bay did a terrifically job with this.
The Rock has a great cast in it also. Nicolas Cage is wonderful over-actor, Sean Connery is a bad-ass and Ed Harris is terrific whit his eyes.
The action is well shot, and all the explosions are great. The camera work isn't top notch but it works with what it can.
The plot isn't that new for now, but when the Rock was made it was a very different kind of view of a movie.
