The Rock is a 1996 action film that primarily takes place on Alcatraz Island, and the San Francisco Bay area. It was directed by Michael Bay, director of Bad Boys, and stars Sean Connery, Nicolas Cage, and Ed Harris. It was produced by Don Simpson and Jerry Bruckheimer, producers of Top Gun and Crimson Tide, and released through Disney's Hollywood Pictures. The film is dedicated to Simpson, who died five months before its release.
RIP Sean Connery - in the conversation for the greatest action hero actor of all-time.
Nobody is not escape Alcatraz
I came here to show my respect for the guy who made my childhood awesome. I had this movie on blue ray it was "The best movie choices" in that time. Sean will always be my favorite actor. Love this theme also.
[*]
John patrick mason was beyond badass
@Toby Williams 7 James Bond outings, The Hunt for Red October, A Bridge too Far, Entrapment, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, The Rock, even The Untouchables... It's a tribute to how good an actor Connery was that he is rarely discussed as an action hero but his action resume is as impressive as anyone.
This was one of my grandfather's favorite movies. He was a fighter during the Korean War. He died last December at age of 87 from a brain aneurysm. I chose the first half of this song as funeral music for him. RIP Fafa. Harold Brewer (1933-2020)
That is truly awesome mate
👏👏 Amazing
Only 3 years younger than Sean Connery. They were a great generation of people 👍
Most respect for your grandfather, a hero who fought for liberty

The anthem of Nicolas Cage's action films of the 90s: The Rock, Con Air, and Face Off.
3 perfect examples of why the 90's was the best decade ever
@@giovannileonetti2120 agree! I watched all these 3 movies in a theatre
Best movies ever It’s called “Biege Volvo trilogy”
Hans Zimmer created a master piece in music!
Similar to crimson tide and Armageddon theme.
Rest in peace, Sir Sean Connery , you're the one who made my childhood.
Так и есть. Раньше не было этих толерантных соплей... Шон как целая эпоха. Земля пухом...
Rip sir
Yes, I remember. being a 7year old wanting to grow up to be just like Bond ,James Bond .
RIP Sean Connery. One of the last men at hollywood. Now there's only Clint left.
Not much to you then if you need Sean to make your child hood
"I only bring it up because its you… YOU ARE THE ROCKET MAN!"

I feel like youre both wrong...27 years.
strange thing is, it doesnt feel that old. could still be a movie from today.
Agree. It is awesome.
could not agree more!!!

One of Zimmer's diamonds.
This is the best diamond of all of his collection !!!!!
@@mrcohen7146 In my opinion, Pirates Of the Caribbean is the best thing he ever did. This one is close enough. Maybe that's why in some parts, they sound similar.
@@deejay.s my friend I appreciate your choice but I think you are wrong because the rock soundtrack was made earlier then the pirate of the Caribbean so the rock is the source and pirat of the Caribbean sounds like the rock
@@mrcohen7146 Pirates of the Carribbean 2 also had elements from King Arthur (2004) Hello Beastie, score had 2 copied minutes from a King Arthur score. I tink Zimmer has many diamond pieces of Music. = BatmanBegins, The Dark Knight+rises, The ROck, Pirates of the Carribbean1-3, Gladiator, LionKing 1994, Last Samurai, Inception, Interstellar, Kung Fu Panda 1-3, Man of Steel, Mission Impossible 2, Prince of Egypt, Sherlock Holmes 1-2, Illuminati, DaVinciCode, Tears of the Sun, Crimson Tide, The Thin Red Line, The Road to El Dorado, Black Hawk Down, Dunkirk, Rain Man, . and even more depending on taste.
Strangely he doesn't seem to rate it himself. He's been touring lately and the concert features things like TDK, Lion King, Inception, Crimson Tide, and POTC, but not this. A shame, as this was prob his first really great one, and the one many of us were first exposed to.
they dont make movies like this anymore, perfect !
gov't won't allow
they really don't make themes like it either
Not an excellent movie. Not well filmed, and too parodic. Fortunately, some directors have great shots nowadays.
@@user-he9jl5lx4l if you cant understand the tongue in cheeck brilliance of this film than you prob havent ever had fun in a cinema ever lol.

@@markusklein7222they don't live by the sword they are doing the mission
Why am I not surprised this is Hans Zimmer? Brilliant composer.
Actually it's mostly Nick Glennie Smith and not Zimmer (Zimmer worked on it though and produced it, NGS was part of his company Media Ventures, at the time)
There was something about the scores Hans Zimmer produced in 90s and early 2000s. he did so many action movies at that time, and they all had this loud electric guitar energetic patriotic style
Is it because his name is in the title??
@@Kupperdurden I agree it was prob mostly Glennie-Smith, compare the melodies to The Man in the Iron Mask which he solo-wrote and there's tons of similarities
@@Kupperdurden Zimmer did the main theme though.
this movie has one of the best stories, best music, best actors.
Definitely one of my all time favs and one my Wife and I will always watch again and again!

This movie and Highlander is what i think of when i remember him.

Sean Connery looked like Saruman when he came out from the prison. And then turn into James Bond. And now he turned into the badass FBI ever. This movie is so awesome and had it on Blue Ray. Best Movie Choses in that time.

i wonder, how Hans Zimmer felt at the moment he was composing this song :D I mean, he surely screamed "This is fuckin awsome what i am creating" :D
no, the composer is his own biggest critican, he thought it sucked and didnt liked most of his stuff he produces and think he could have done better, he even stated that in a reddit ama
Hanz should be doing that every movie hes involved with
lol
No, he just keeps his (compos)ure. :D
hahah :-D
"I CANNOT GIVE THAT ORDER" "I AM NOT GONNA REPEAT THAT ORDER" "I WILL NOT GIVE THAT ORDER" "WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU MAN?!" Epic movie, even after 22 years.
I felt that "What the hell is wrong with you?".... Like.. "I'm trying to solve this without bloodshed!"
Such and intense scene !
I play D&D that way: "I'd like to not kill anybody but you're kind of forcing my hand"
Ed Harris and Micheal Biehn were simply brillant...a must watch action movies Sean Connery also was superb rip.

R.I.P Sir Sean Connery for everything u brought us

Sean Connery will return in:1930, you only beat a Connery never.
Omg.. remembering this as a 16 year old first time crying in a cinema ... the shower scene with the navy seals getting shot to sh*t while their commander can't give them the order to stand down... such epicness i have yet to see...
Darkmanmr47 legitimate 😭
Yes, one of the saddest scenes I've ever seen... :'(
Excellent scene!
and Hummel trying to say to his men "cease fire" but not heard until all Seals are dead...
Their commander was played by Michael Biehn, great actor though...
definition of action movie.
Nah Die Hard is the definition of an action movie...
No Die Hard is good but The Rock have the best soundtrack . It's one of the best action movie of all time. Just check this part at his soundtrack at 4:27 . According to me this movie is one of the best movie in all of the time. The Rock (1996) with Sean Connery, Nicolas Cage and Ed Harris.
Maxime Marcoux lol not even close to the best... Nicholas Cage and "best" don't go hand in hand... Ever. Just because it has a good soundtrack doesn't make its the best, and I seriously question your taste in movies since you think this is the best movie of all time xD
First it's Nicolas Cage
Maxime Marcoux lol coming from the guy who can barely speak English xD and theyre pronounced the same buddy. It really hurt my head trying to read and understand the gibberish you wrote. You're obviously French/ canadian so how about you try and learn the language the majority of people in your country speak instead of fixing something so mundane as Nicholas and Nicolas ? xD P.S when you say "first" there's usually a "second" after that it kinda nullifies the purpose of saying first to begin with monaime...
Hummel redeems himself at the end. " I'm not about to kill 80,000 innocent people. Do you think I'm out of my f**king mind?"
But my general !

I can't get enough of this movie. Hans zimmer is a musical genius.
You said “Hans Zimmer is a musical genius” Actually, my female friend (not girlfriend but platonic female friend) said she loves Hans Zimmer as a film composer! I asked her what her favorite film coposer was and she said John Williams. I then changed the question to exclude John Williams and the answer she gave was Hans Zimmer.
Ed Harris is great in this film also.
ed harris is god in this movie xD
Conker GT He's pretty damn believable isn't he? As the slighted military officer, willing to risk it all. And the soundtrack.. amazing for an action film. Like Crimson Tide.
shades2 t
shades2 Fuck yeah, he's awesome in the film! It's just too bad he's...not really a villain. That's the prime fault of The Rock - the villain is just too likeable.
+shades2 EVERYONE is good in this movie!
Ed Harris and Sean on the same movie, plus Hans OST... how can that be bad ?!
You forget Nicolas Cage...
Because Michael Bay directed it.
txisbest Another immature hater of Bay i see.
txisbest Sure Bay didn't do very good jobs on most of the movies he directed, but there's no doubt that The Rock is an exception. Suspenseful, action packed; just what a lot of people want to see: A classic action movie
Back in the days when both Nick Cage and Michael Bay did good movies...
R.I.P to Sean Connery. One of the greatest actors of all time :,(

They are maybe old, but they still kick ass when they are on screen ^^
They sure don't make films like this anymore!
one of the better action flicks from the 90s
The benchmark for action movies.
Want to feel old in your early thrities? Tell someone younger than you that in your youth, Michael Bay used to make good movies...
Correction, yesterday I rewatched this movie and it has not aged well. The editing is a nightmare, the needless slo-mo and unnecessary explosions gave me a headache. Plus the continuity is non existent. So basically, Bay never made good movies! Plus the theme is identical to POTC, I know this came first but it was distracting.
lmao, are you actually saying something about Michael Bay having many explosions? Is there actually a generation that doesn't know about Michael Bay and his excessive love of things going BOOM? Am I really that old? For your viewing pleasure: kzhead.info/sun/qZuso7mhrX9jmIU/bejne.html

0:00-6:27 is my favorite part. Awesome soundtrack.
All the (master-)piece overall. One of the best targeted comments in here!
This is one of the best movies sean Connery was a part of in his later years. I love the theme, and the movie. Ed harris, and nicholas cage did excellent work in this movie. John spencer was great in this movie as FBI director Womack. Rest in peace all the departed actors and crew of this movie.
One of the last great actionfilms of the 90`s. And also Bay`s best.
Hans Zimmer is a great composer. All his music gets me amped up!

Один из самых любимых фильмов уже не один год!!!!!!!!!!
Есть такое!
1:27...."They're not coming for us, are they General....."
This part always make me want to stand up and raise my hands high in the air.
more like @5:49 "they're not coming for us, are they general..."
Sir* not general
C'est le plus grand film d'action qui existe.chapeau au génie Michaël Bay spécialiste des légendaires blockbusters.
I was just a kid when i watch this movie. That intro with this music already sent shivers down my spine. Every now and then I'd look for this theme just to reminisce it again.
Каждому миллениалу, который кукарекает о том, что Майкл Бэй - плохой режиссер, снимающий подростковое кинцо о трансформаторах, я всегда советую сунуть язык куда-нибудь поглубже, и посмотреть этот шедевр. 1996 год, а тут специально для тебя настоящая серая мораль, модная нынче. Главный антагонист, по сути, не злодей, а человек, доведенный до отчаяния такой вопиющей несправедливостью по отношению к своим боевым товарищам, братьям, погибшим за страну, при этом их семьям ни правды, ни компенсации, ничего. Главный герой - простой человек, не гора мышц, не супермен, а человек, в силу обстоятельств и своей профессии и личных причин попавший в такой заплёт. А кто встал на его сторону? Британский агент, по сути 007, просидевший четверть века в застенках, ненавидящий эту страну, но у которого есть личный мотив помочь справиться с ситуацией. Легендарное кино, великолепная игра Эда Харриса, сэра Шона Коннери, и начало великого сезона 1996-1997 годов для Николаса Кейджа, ставшего едва ли не главным героем боевиков 90-х
they're not coming back for us are they sir?
No
1:27
You stand fast, soldier.
Amazing how one line sets up an entire movie
Welcome to the Rock.
Welcome to Con Air.
The golden age of Action Movies.
Geiler Action Film der zeitlos ist mit einem Hammer harten Soundtrack und super Darstellern bis in die kleinsten Nebenrollen besetzt. Sean Connery 😢❤

This movie in my opinion did one of the best jobs, at showing the instant emotion and regrets of the man on the other side.
Rest In Peace, Capt. John Mason

Captain John Patrick Mason, general sir.

My favorite movie of all time, first time I saw it I was like 17 or 18, I am 38 now, and still this is my favorite one. RIP Sean Connery.
It's my favorite movie too ❤
I watched this with my Dad. I was like 11 to 13 and we watched this cause it's one of the best movies iv seen
@@halofreak2themax I watched it with my daughter when she burned her finger with hot glue.

This is pretty comparable to the MGS2 theme, and that one is definitely also a goosebumps-inducing masterpiece!

Cuz Harry Gregson-Williams composed it
@@stupid0244 OMG! What is the MGS2?? How do people communicate with acronyms?? Like WTF people? LOL *I still don't know which movie that is though and I really want to listen to that soundtrack :(
@@Crowleas Not a movie, Metal Gear Solid 2, a video game with a killer soundtrack that is very reminiscent of the 90s Zimmer and his clones' style
I HAVE to believe that The Rock HEAVILY influenced Kojima's direction for the Metal Gear Solid Series. Patriotism, betrayal, politics, high-stakes tactical espionage action.
The golden era of movies and for me it's the best Action movie I've ever seen , starting from the soundtrack to the acting and the great script with its diamond quotes ❤
Гений. Просто, блять, гений. Это же надо было. К такому классному фильму сделать такую музыку...
Один из самых редчайших случаев. Когда все факторы сошлись 😀😉
It's a great movie with one of my favourite actors, Sean Connery.
"We can't hold out much longer Sir!""General Hummel you gotta get us outta here now!""I wont let you down, I wont let you down son.""Goddammit Sir! How long do we have to wait I've lost 15 men already!" "Sir they're lighting us up like a fire storm!""This is General Hummel you gotta get my men outta there Now!""We don't have clearance to go behind enemy lines, sir!""They're not coming for us are they sir?...."
It's the profession they have chosen so the sons of the 1% won't be drafted.
"I come before you to protest a grave injustice. It has to stop."
Fighter, Your government check didn't arrive, and now you don't know what to do ? And personally, I think you're a fucking idiot.
This intro always sends chills down my spine. Thanks, it's like I am watching it now.
The song by itself already is amazing. I often forget about this movie but clearly one of the best action movies during the 90's when you would only see Arnold Shuazenheguer material
They could not have cast this movie any better! Great performances from everyone involved. And to add hands down my favorite rolls for both Ed Harris and nick cage
what ever happens , don't think less of me
Masterpiece by Michael Bay. So awesome and the soundtrack too.
josep gabarrós pérez masterpiece and michael bay should NOT be used in the same sentence
Hans zimmer only please.
This was Sean Connery's last James Bond film. Yes, John Patrick Mason was an alias for James Bond. ;)
RIP Sir Sean. Your actor presence was magnificent no matter the role. Maybe the best movie music until now (at least for me)
I listen to this at work and end up shattering my keyboard and answering the phone with the most dramatic, emphatic "Hello?!" you've ever heard.

What a masterpiece of a movie with great songs and best actors- RESPECT-
I saw this movie in cinema for the first time when I was 11 and it’s still one of my favourites, 25 years later. And I often have to watch it again. Simply great!
Such an underrated movie, Ed Harris and Sean Connery two titans sharing the screen, Micheal Biehn (one of my favourite actors) Tony Todd, William forsythe all great in their performances, even cage and the actor who plays womankind, David Morse another favourite actor, the thing that gives me goosebumps though, is THIS music with Hanz Zimmer (and forgive me another great composer) I watched this last night. It's an epic movie.
Womack I meant not womankind lol
Hans Zimmer. The greatest Film Music Artist in the World of all Time
Man I can’t tell you how many times I’ve listened to this soundtrack. Ed Harris is a very underrated actor. RIP Sir Connery.
"They're not coming for us are they Sir?!" Watching in 1990s: 😐 Watching as a Military Vet in 2022: 😭
"Patriotism is a virtue of the vicious," according to Oscar Wilde - R.I.P Sean Connery.
Thank you for proving my point
The reason for viciousness matters a lot. When saving innocent lives, it is more good than anything a pacifist could do.

this movie relates every military man around the world especially those with honor , how frustrated we're of politicians and office men manipulating our sacrifices for their own personal interests & neglect the real heroes , every man who carries a gun wearing a uniform under Country flag is the noblest of mankind . Salute Comrades
An amazing music for a masterful classic movie.
This Is so powerful. You just don’t get music like this anymore..
When you sympathize with the villan.No soldier should die forgotten.
I'm putting this on the playlist for Bond movie themes (thumbsup)
Best soundtrack ever made for any film,Michael bay can direct movies and select good theme songs as all of his films are brilliant but this is by far the best he’s done
This movie always reminds me of the game metal gear solid 1 on ps1.
The most awesome movie theme ever.....if this music doesn't stir your emotions, your heart must be made of stone.
This was literally a James Bond movie. The cast and director even hinted at it, but didn’t want to get sued. John Mason is a captured and disavowed James Bond
The rock just shows that even in retirement Sean is still the better 007! This is such a James bond movie!
War, historical and epic action movies are just not as nearly epic without Hans Zimmer soundtracks. I guess he was in a same "mood" when he composed this and Crimson Tide (submarine movie from 1997 i think) soundtracks dont get me wrong, but I think action, historical and war movies were most epic from period of late 90s to the early 2000s. After cca 2005 there is only bunch of commercial shit everywhere. But when I hear one of these soundtracks from 90s movies, I remember my childhood when i was about 7 years old, when I just waited for one movie like this to show up on TV, and the soundtrak of Hans Zimmer on intro of the movie was a best sign that movie is some high budget epic masterpiece. I didnt know who was a composer back then or who even made these songs, but I recognised that signature sound. Hans Zimmer is a best composer for me, and generaly speaking, Hans and Clint Mansell are 2 best soundtrack composers ever, alongside with Jack Wall that made a soundtrak for Mass Effect game (well that is my personal op.)
Don't forget Brad Fiedel (The Terminator and True Lies)
not nearly *as*
3 years since you made this comment. A whole bunch of truth to it too. Did you see Hacksaw Ridge though? Really solid war flick with a pretty good soundtrack too.
The Rock...Micheal Bays 'Sixth Sense' :)
heard this live tonight, one my favorites!
Good movie
A sole monument to a time when movies were made with style and great actors played in them.
