The Rock

When a renegade general takes control of Alcatraz and threatens San Francisco with chemical weapons, a cautious FBI specialist and a resourceful federal prisoner are sent into the island fortress. Together, they must navigate the prison and race against time to prevent a devastating attack.

My take

You’ll enjoy this if you want a fast, quotable 1990s action thriller with big set pieces and unlikely heroes; Not for you if you prefer grounded stories, subtle humor, or restrained action like Collateral.
