Synopsis:
A
group of renegade marine commandos led by war veteran
General Francis Hummel take over the prison on Alcatraz,
holding 81 tourists as hostages. They then threaten to
launch 15 rockets filled with deadly nerve gas onto San
Francisco from the `impregnable' island prison, unless the
government pays out $100 million to the families of American
soldiers who died in covert operations. Dr Stanley Goodspeed,
an FBI chemical warfare expert with domestic problems and
John Mason, the only man to ever escape Alcatraz are called
in to save the day, but things don't go quite as smoothly as
expected. |
