After General Hummel (Ed Harris) and a renegade team of Marines seize control of Alcatraz, the group vows to launch missiles containing lethal nerve gas into downtown San Francisco unless their demands are met.

But, when the SEALs are neutralized, the mission's success rests on the shoulders of Goodspeed and Mason, the only man ever to escape from the infamous prison. Directed by Michael Bay. With David Morse, William Forsythe, Michael Biehn, John Spencer and Vanessa Marcil. Categories: Action, Adventure, Thriller. Year: 1996.
