A disgruntled military commander seizes a former prison and threatens San Francisco with deadly chemical weapons. An FBI chemical-weapons expert must join forces with a notorious prisoner who once escaped the fortress, infiltrating the island to disarm the missiles and stop the attack.
My takeYou’ll enjoy this if you like loud, quotable 1990s action thrillers such as True Lies or Con Air; Not for you if you prefer restrained storytelling, realism, or subtle humor.
