Paese d'origine: USA
Location del set: Alcatraz Island, San Francisco Bay, California, USA San Francisco, California, USA San Pedro, California, USA Ventura, California, USA
Versioni alternative: - Some non/USA releases (Australia, Norwegian) have been cut from the original Usa R-rated version. The shower room gunfight between Hummel and Anderson's men has a number of deleted shots. The scene involving the fight between Goodspeed and Mason and Hummel's men on the underground cable car has been edited. Also, the final shot of Captain Darrow impailed on the post has been edited out. - The UK video, though not as heavily cut as Aus/Nor, had 15 seconds cut for a 15 cert, mainly knife play, bullet hits & a line of dialogue concerning 'gutting someone'. - The Norwegian version was only cut on cinema. The video release in Norway is uncut. - Although the theatrical version was cut in Germany (Cert. 16), the rental video is uncut (Cert. 18) The few frames taken out of the UK version (Cert. 15) were put back in for the UK pay-TV version (Cert. 18) which is uncut. - The video for sale in Germany has a 16 certificate and therefore does not contain the scenes added for the rental video. - An Arabic-dubbed version of 'The Rock' was released in the GCC countries on December 1997. A number of cuts were made and in the Arabic-dubbed version, Goodspeed and his girlfriend were actually made husband and wife. - The Australian video release, rated MA15+, edited several scenes for violence. The Australian DVD release, though rated R18+, only added the final scene of Darrow's body hanging from the post, and edited the fight between Hummel and his men more heavily than the video or television versions. Frames cut from the Australian cinema and video release were replaced for Cable-TV airings, and retained it's MA15+ rating. - The UK cinema version was rated 15 and was uncut. - The version shown twice on UK Network TV (Channek 5) was slightly edited for language, but nearly all the violent scenes cut from the 15 video were restored (including the scene when Sean Connery throws a knife into someone's throat and the line "you must never hesitate")

Plot: A group of renegade marine commandos seizes a stockpile of chemical weapons and takes over Alcatraz, with 81 tourists as hostages. Their leader, a former highly-decorated U. S. general, demands $100 million to be paid in ransom, as restitution to families of soldiers who died in covert operations and were thereby denied compensation. Otherwise, he is threatening to launch 15 rockets carrying deadly VX nerve gas into the San Francisco Bay area. An elite SEAL team, with support from an FBI chemical warfare expert (Stanley Goodspeed) and a former Alcatraz escapee (John Mason), is assembled to penetrate the terrorists' defenses on Alcatraz and neutralize the rocket threat before time runs out.
