When rogue General Hummel (Ed Harris) seizes Alcatraz with a stash of VX nerve gas rockets, the government calls in chemical weapons expert Stanley Goodspeed (Nicolas Cage).

But brains alone won’t survive the Rock — so he’s paired with John Mason (Sean Connery), a former SAS operative turned forgotten political prisoner, and the only man to ever escape Alcatraz.

Together, the mismatched pair must infiltrate the fortress-prison, disarm the deadly missiles, and face off against soldiers who believe treason is the ultimate act of honor. Cage delivers eccentric brilliance, Connery radiates grizzled charisma, and Bay orchestrates relentless shootouts, fiery car chases, and heart-stopping tension.
