Plot

Disillusioned USMC Brigadier General Francis Hummel and his rogue group of Force Recon marines, including his loyal subordinate Major Tom Baxter, steal 15 rockets filled with lethal VX gas from a Navy facility. The next day, they seize control of Alcatraz Island, taking the tourists and guards hostage. Hummel contacts the FBI and threatens to launch the rockets at the San Francisco Bay Area unless the government pays him $100 million, of which some will be donated to each family of the men who died during his command but were never compensated.
