Brigadier General Francis X Hummel (Harris) seize control of Alcatraz Island. Dr. Stanley Goodspeed (Cage) is being recruited FBI Director Womack (John Spencer) is forced to turn to Federal prisoner John Mason (Connery) has illegally detained for decades the only inmate of Alcatraz to ever successfully escaped through Alcatraz. Special Agent Ernest Paxton (William Forsythe) manages to escape to see his estranged daughter (Claire Forlani). I felt the overloaded characters, light plot and a bombardment of explosions kept this film from being really good. Screenplay and soundtrack was okay but the pace of the story was just dull for an action flick.
