Story:

Stanley Goodspeed, who lives in Washington D.C., is a biochemist who works for the FBI. Soon after his fiancée Carla Pestalozzi announces that she is pregnant, Stanley gets a call from FBI director James Womack.

Womack tells Stanley that San Francisco's Alcatraz Island has been taken hostage, along with 81 tourists, by marine General Francis Xavier Hummel who, for years, has been protesting the government's refusal to pay benefits to families of war veterans who died during covert military operations.

The death of his wife Barbara Hummel on March 9, 1995 drove General Hummel over the edge, and now he's holding hostages in order to get his point across.

Stanley is needed because General Hummel has stolen some VX gas warheads and has announced that he will launch them onto San Francisco unless his demands are met. Stanley knows how to disarm the bombs, but Stanley needs someone who knows Alcatraz well enough to get him inside.



Handlung:

Der verbitterte Brigade-General Hummel (Ed Harris) verschanzt sich mit einer Handvoll Elitesoldaten auf der legendären Gefängnisinsel Alcatraz. In seiner Hand sind 81 Touristen und eine hochexplosive biochemische Waffe.

Er droht, die gesamte Bevölkerung San Franciscos auszulöschen, sollte die US-Regierung seine Forderung nach 100 Mio. Dollar nicht erfüllen.

Das FBI glaubt, nur zwei Männer könnten diesen Wahnsinn beenden: Der junge FBI-Agent Goodspeed (Nicolas Cage), ein Experte für chemische Waffen, und der Sträfling Mason (Sean Connery), der einzige Mann, der es je geschafft hat, aus Alcatraz zu fliehen und den das FBI extra zu diesem Zweck aus dem Gefängnis holen lässt und ihm bei erfolgreicher Mission die Freiheit verspricht.

Goodspeed betraut den "Partner" zuerst mehr als misstrauisch, aber er hat keine andere Wahl...
