The Rock - 5 stars out of 5 stars

Preposterous !! Can't happen and silly !! Maybe. I loved this film.Released in 1996 and running 136 minutes,I was draw to it by  Sean Connery and Nicolas Cage and to a lesser extent,Ed Harris.The story is simple enough,see the IMDB summary below,but Cage and Connery elevate it to another level while Harris is sympathetic "bad guy"if you can believe that.The rest of the cast fit as well,but those 3 are the film,make no mistake.We forget before 9/11 there were internal threats and this film while funny at times because of great dialogue is also a stern reminder that enemies exist internally as well as externally.The last line is the movie was do you want to known who assented JFK ??Trailer URL follows the pix.Must see for all action film fans.

A renegade general and his group of U.S. Marines take over Alcatraz and threaten San Francisco Bay with biological weapons. A chemical weapons specialist and the only man to have ever escaped from the Rock attempt to prevent chaos.
