Cage joins him as the FBI biochemical specialist assigned the task of disarming the warheads, and the only man who can get them in to do their respective jobs is an aging British intelligence agent who has been incarcerated for 30 years or so by the government that now needs his help. Biehn heads an elite Navy SEAL team assigned to infiltrate and disable Harris' capabilities. To get what he wants, he recruits some of the best officers under his command to take control of and hold Alcatraz Island, holding 70-some-odd civilians hostage and aiming four missiles loaded with deadly Sarin gas directly at the heart of San Francisco. The story begins with Ed Harris - a Viet Nam war hero and field leader who is now a general and has become fed up with the abandonment of covert forces operatives by the US government. None of the plot twists are unbelievable if you are willing to accept the basic premise. The plot takes a number of twists and turns along the road, so to discuss almost any aspect of it in detail would require at least mild spoilers. Any avid movie-goer will be hard pressed to find a single actor in this sizable cast who has not either become a major star or a fine character actor over the last nine years. ![]() Nick Cage - in a performance which approaches his best work - adds a bit of campiness and humor to this explosive mixture, and John Spencer, Tony Todd, David Morse, and Michael Biehn all contribute substantially to an exciting, fast-paced and emotionally draining film. The acting, editing, directing and visuals do not slip at all. There are no problems with the way this story is told. Like a good work of fiction, it's the quality of the telling that makes it believable, not the likelihood that it might happen. Believability - almost always a problem for this sort of film - is enhanced by a very compelling script, sets, and powerful performances by masters Sean Connery and Ed Harris. The Rock is one of my all-time favorite suspense - thrillers. ![]()
