Their leader, the disillusioned <a href="/wiki/United_States_Marine_Corps" title="United States Marine Corps">USMC</a> Brigadier General Francis Hummel, threatens to launch the rockets at San Francisco unless the U.S. government pays him $100 million. He plans to distribute the money to his men and the families of Marines who died on covert missions under his command but whose sacrifices were not acknowledged or compensated. </p><p>The <a href="/wiki/United_States_Department_of_Defense" title="United States Department of Defense">Department of Defense</a> and the <a href="/wiki/FBI" class="mw-redirect" title="FBI">FBI</a> plot to retake the island using a <a href="/wiki/United_States_Navy_SEALs" title="United States Navy SEALs">U.S. Navy SEAL</a> team led by <a href="/wiki/Commander" title="Commander">Commander</a> Anderson, FBI chemical weapons specialist Dr. Stanley Goodspeed, and elderly former British <a href="/wiki/Special_Air_Service" title="Special Air Service">SAS</a> John Mason, the only man to escape Alcatraz. FBI Director James Womack deceives Mason with the offer of a pardon and acquiesces to his request to move to a hotel, from which Mason escapes. After Mason leads the FBI on a destructive car chase through San Francisco, Goodspeed finds him meeting with his estranged daughter, Jade. As the FBI arrives, Mason expresses his regret for not being in her life. At the mission command center, Mason negotiates to join the team on Alcatraz, while Goodspeed fails to convince his pregnant girlfriend, Carla, not to travel to San Francisco. </p><p>The team infiltrates Alcatraz, but Hummel's men are alerted to their presence and ambush them in a shower room. Hummel tries to convince Anderson to surrender, but his new allies, Captains Darrow and Frye, deliberately cause a shootout that kills Anderson's team, except for Mason and Goodspeed, who remain undetected. Believing the mission a failure, Mason prepares to leave until Goodspeed reveals the truth about the VX. </p><p>Mason and Goodspeed work together to disable twelve rockets and kill several Marines. After Hummel threatens to execute a hostage, Mason surrenders to stall him while Goodspeed disables another rocket before also being captured. After Mason frees himself and Goodspeed, he reveals that he was an <a href="/wiki/Secret_Intelligence_Service" class="mw-redirect" title="Secret Intelligence Service">MI6</a> operative who stole a <a href="/wiki/Microfilm" class="mw-redirect" title="Microfilm">microfilm</a> created by <a href="/wiki/J._Edgar_Hoover" title="J. Edgar Hoover">J. Edgar Hoover</a> containing classified U.S. information. Mason refused to reveal the microfilm's location after being captured, knowing he would be killed and was imprisoned without trial, with his existence concealed by the FBI. Having assessed Hummel as an honorable soldier who will not kill innocents, Mason leaves but returns to Goodspeed, not wanting his child to grow up without a father. </p><p>The ransom deadline passes. Darrow and Frye pressure Hummel into firing a rocket, but he redirects it to detonate harmlessly in the sea. Hummel explains the rockets were a bluff and he never intended to kill anyone, declaring the mission over. Realizing they will not be paid, Darrow and Frye kill Hummel's second in command, Major Tom Baxter, and mortally wound Hummel, who tells Goodspeed the location of the last rocket before dying. Meanwhile, an airstrike is initiated to destroy Alcatraz with experimental thermite plasma bombs, which will neutralize the gas but kill everyone on the island. Goodspeed and Mason kill the remaining Marines before signaling to abort the attack, but one plane drops its bombs. The blast throws Goodspeed into the bay, but Mason saves him. </p><p>Goodspeed confirms the mission's success but claims that Mason was vaporized in the blast. The pair part ways amicably after Mason recommends Goodspeed visit a church in Kansas.
