At the beginning of the movie, an American general mourned his wife at the tombstone. His subordinates died in secret operations, but they were not recognized by the government, and their family members could not receive honor and compensation. After the appeal failed, the general decided to take action. The general who has experienced many battles and won many medals is called Hanmer. He led his subordinates to steal 15 new VX gas bombs. Then they took control of Akara Island. This was originally a prison, but now it has become a tourist destination, commonly known as Alcatraz Island. All tourists on the island became hostages. General Hammer asked the country for $100 million with gas bombs and hostages to compensate the Marines who had been unfairly treated. FBI Director Ferguson held a meeting with the Department of Defense and decided to send a commando team to the island. However, Akara Prison is very tightly guarded and monitored. It is called "Alcatraz Island." No one has ever successfully escaped from prison. Therefore, the commando has no way to enter Akara Prison. In the national top-secret files, there is an old British agent Mason who successfully escaped from Akara. Only he can complete this mission. In order to persuade Mason to take someone into Akara Island, Ferguson made a false promise to him, telling him that he would be pardoned and regain his freedom. Mason and the chemical expert Stanley, together with the commandos on this raid mission, successfully entered the Akara prison through the underground tunnel. Unexpectedly, the susceptor that had been placed was discovered, and the commando was found and surrounded. In the melee, all the commandos were killed, only Mason and Stanley managed to escape. Stanley told Mason the truth about the matter and asked him to help dismantle the gas missile. Mason finally agreed. After dismantling 12 missiles, Hammer's men captured them. In prison, Mason told Stanley that he was arrested because he was in possession of a top-secret film of the U.S. government, which has not expired to this day. After his arrest, he became a person not recognized by Britain and the United States. Mason opened the door by escape, and the two escaped from the prison to dismantle the remaining missiles. And Hammer's subordinates have discovered that the government is deceiving them. However, because General Hammer, who is a real soldier, does not agree to use gas bombs to kill innocent people at all, there is a melee inside. Hammer was seriously injured and died after telling Stanley the location of the last missile. At the same time, the government sent bombers to destroy the island. After a fierce and tense struggle, the two finally dismantled the gas bomb and successfully completed the task. While Stanley was igniting the green flare, the bomber also released missiles. Fortunately, the hostages on the island did not suffer casualties. Mason and Stanley survived by jumping into the sea in time. Stanley took this opportunity to report to Ferguson that Mason was dead, but let him go. The hiding place where Mason took the film before he left

This is a noisy action thriller with a Rambo style. Fanatics use Alcatraz as their hiding place and San Francisco as a fish. The film has a Wagner-style soundtrack and a jaw-dropping death toll. At the same time, it is particularly interesting.

    The classic of "Break into Death Island" is not only the superb acting skills of Sean Connery and Nicholas Cage, but also the perfect action movie structure in one go. There are almost no unnecessary scenes in the length of time, and the darkness of politics and the end of the heroes of the past constitute a profound depth in the content of the film.

    Rewatch. The rhythm and gimmicks of the book itself are super enough, and they accidentally affected the strange Hollywood romantic complex of the older generation of Chinese fans behind (the gimmicks that are not finished. And the light touch of the surreal conspiracy theory) Who knows that vulgarity How did the ending change the judgment of the post-70s generation of blockbusters? The car chase scene in this film is definitely the most intense in the 1990s.
