Now Viewing: the_rock_(movie)Tag type: Copyright Tag refers to the popular 1996 American action movie, the actor/wrestler is tagged as The_Rock. It was directed by Michael_Bay, written by David Weisberg, Douglas S. Cook, and Mark Rosner. It stars Nicholas Cage, Sean Connery, and Ed Harris. The soundtrack was composed by Nick Glennie Smith and Hans Zimmer. It was released on June 7, 1996. War hero General Frank Hummel, disillusioned with how the US government has failed to compensate its soldiers, is driven to steal a stockpile of poisonous VX gas rockets and take over Alcatraz. He and the mercenaries he hired demand that the government pay him $100 million US dollars which he will distribute to soldiers or else he will fire the rockets at San Francisco. In response, the Pentagon assembles a team of US Seals who are aided by Stanley Goodspeed, an expert at handling chemical weapons but a rookie when it comes to combat, and John Mason, a disgraced British secret agent who's one of the only men to ever escape from Alcatraz, to infiltrate Alcatraz and stop Hummel. The film was action director Bay's first major big budget production after he made the modestly budgeted Bad Boys, and its success paved the way for the bigger productions he's known for. It is also one of his few films to receive both generally positive critical reviews and box office success. The film was also a major influence on the game Call of Duty Black Ops, which even has Ed Harris in a major role. Its soundtrack was also an influence on the game Time Crisis 2, which has songs that sound similar to this film's main theme.
