The Rock is an American action/thriller movie from 1996. Main actors are Scottish Sir Sean Connery, Nicolas Cage and Ed Harris. Scenes are mainly filmed in former US jail Alcatraz in San Francisco.
American Brigadier General Francis Hummel (Harris) with his soldiers steal M55 rockets with VX nerve gas. British SAS captain and MI6 agent John Patrick Mason (Connery), who is imprisoned by the USA and FBI's chemical weapons specialist Stanley Goodspeed (Cage) go to solve the situation with American Navy SEALs. Hummel and his mercenaries extort the Government of the USA by threatening to launch the rockets to San Francisco. Mason has earlier escaped from Alcatraz when he was imprisoned there.
Movie's soundtrack and action scenes are inseparable part of the movie. The scenes and music work so well together. Atmosphere is haunting and ominous in Alcatraz and action scenes are very effective all the time. The plot isn't too complicated but credible. Actors are great and the main characters are introduced largely enough. The soundtrack is much better than usually. I recommend this movie to all who like good action movies. 9/10.
