Stunning! The best action movie ever made

Rating: 9/10 (6 September 2004)

General Francis Hummel (Ed Harris) captures fifteen poison gas warheads, and seizing control of Alcatraz prison along with eighty one civilians, he threatens to detonate them into the heart of San Fransisco.
With less than fifty hours to spare, the FBI recruit the help of a former prisoner John Mason (Sean Connery), chemical expert Stanley Goodspeed (Nicolas Cage), and a team of marines to break into The Rock.
The Rock stands out as one of the best of its genre, with stunning performances from all parts, a gripping storyline and a brilliantly rounded ending.
