The Rock
Although the movie “The Rock” was released in 1996, I watched it in 2002. I liked this movie so much that I watched it several times. That’s why I picked this movie to post on my blog. A Marine general Hummel got sick and tired of seeing his soldiers die while doing secret missions 
overseas. So, he gathered some of his loyal Marines and got hold of rockets filled with deadly nerve agent. They went to the Alcatraz Island, which used to a prison. They took all the tourists on the island hostage. Now, General Hummel demands full compensations for their sacrifice and those who died on secret missions.
The FBI Director wants to take control of the situation by sending a group of Navy Special Forces to Alcatraz Island. In order to do this, he needs someone who can guide the Navy guys to the island through the underground tunnels of Alcatraz. They found a British prisoner named John Mason who successfully escaped the Alcatraz but was caught again.
About 30 years ago, Mason stole secret files from FBI and hid them somewhere. Because of this, he has been held in prison. Mason led Navy guys and an FBI agent Goodspeed to the island. As they got to the island, they fired at each other. In the end, all the Navy guys died and only Mason and Goodspeed were left on the island.
There was a disagreement between General Hummel and some of his Hummel’s soldiers. Hummel didn’t want to hurt civilians with the missiles even if they didn’t get paid by the government. However, some of his men didn’t think so. As a result, Hummel got shot and dead. Finally, Mason and Goodspeed succeeded in killing the remaining Marines and saved hostages.
This movie reminds me of so many things. I can’t name all of them. I realized the importance of one's loyalty to his country. I also learned that true sacrifice doesn’t always come with rewards. This movie was not only an action blockbuster but also a human drama.
