No one wants to go to prison unless it’s to join Nicolas Cage and Sean Connery on a life-saving adventure. While Michael Bay has helped create plenty of memorable films throughout his storied career, his 1996 smash-hit The Rock is among his best. That’s right, I said it.
The Rock stars Nicolas Cage, Sean Connery, and Ed Harris in an action-packed thrill ride about a mild-mannered chemist (Cage) and an ex-con (Connery). When humanity is threatened, the unlikely duo must lead a counterstrike against a rogue group of military men, led by a renegade general (Harris), plotting a nerve gas attack from Alcatraz against San Franciso.
Packed with personality, a spoil of one-liners, and heart-pounding suspense, The Rock arrived at the height of ’90s action goodness, giving us a silver screen team-up that has since become the stuff of legend. Cage says he’s done making tentpole features, making The Rock a gem among his varied pantheon of big-budget romps. Join us as we travel back to Alcatraz to watch Cage become the Rocket Man and Connery deliver one of his most cynical characters.
