The Rock (1996)

Nicolas Cage stars as Stanley Goodspeed, an FBI chemical weapons expert who is called in to help in a domestic terrorist situation. It seems that Vietnam War hero Brigadier General Hummel (Ed Harris) has taken control of Alcatraz prison. Along with a team of crack military personnel, he plans to fire rockets filled with poisonous VX gas into the heart of San Fransisco. He demands $100 million in reparation for the soldiers under his command that have died with no honors or acknowledgement from the government. The FBI is forced to enlist the help of Federal prisoner John Mason (Sean Connery) who can get out of any prison he's been incarcerated in, including Alcatraz. Mason must lead a team of Navy SEALS into the bowels of the penitentiary before time time runs out.
