Even though I and my family members were into some initial Festive Cleaning and decluttering, we managed the time for a movie watch. Another old time and a hit movie. The Sean Connery, Nicolas Cage, Ed Harris and John Spencer starrer The Rock (1996). This movie even inspired a Bollywood Movie : Qayamat - City under Siege in 2003. Many of you might be familiar with this movie, but for those who are not, it is an action thriller where a city is under the threat of certain Chemical weapons and there is a race against time to defend it. Sean Connery is brilliant but I think the best role is portrayed by Nicolas Cage and probably Ed Harris. Image : Taken when watching the movie.

I can’t remember if I saw that movie or not. I even forget the titles of books I loved.

@LadyDuck I found the scene where Sean Connery tries to get away in a Humvee through San Francisco toads causing mayhem boring and long. The movie becomes interesting once the forces try to get inside the Alcatraz island from the waters.
