The Rock concerns a retired US army officer played by Ed Harris who steals a powerful lethal gas and seizes control of Alcatraz in San Francisco where he plans to launch the gas unless benefits are paid to the families of soldiers who died in the line of fire, to stop him a biochemist played by Nicholas Cage as well as a team of soldiers have to storm Alcatraz in order to do just that.
The Rock is both a good movie and a bad movie all at once, I liked the storyline of the Ed Harris character as it felt like a nice departure from the more typical “Destroy the World” storyline that’s in most action pictures as well the casting of some great actors like Michael Biehn, Sean Connery and the late John Spencer but the plot of the rock turns into Die Hard on Alcatraz as Cage and Connery have to both foil the threat and save the hostages, swell.
But all in all, the Rock wasn’t that bad so I give it a 3 out of 5.
