💥 The Rock (1996) is a high-octane action thriller directed by Michael Bay. Starring Sean Connery, Nicolas Cage, and Ed Harris, the film takes us on a wild ride as a rogue Marine unit seizes control of Alcatraz Island, threatening to launch chemical weapons on San Francisco. Connery’s John Mason, a former British spy, and Cage’s Stanley Goodspeed, a nervous chemical weapons expert, must team up to save the day. From explosive action sequences to unforgettable one-liners (“Welcome to The Rock!”)
