Ah, Michael Bay's THE ROCK. A true action classic of the '90's with infinitely quotable lines and stellar action movie performances from Nicolas Cage, Sean Connery, Ed Harris, and the massively underrated Michael Biehn. While Bay has dug himself five movies deep into the TRANSFORMERS franchise, there's always hope for him to return to the straight action genre with films like THE ROCK and BAD BOYS 1 & 2, where he's at his best (and 13 HOURS was a good sampling of that). But, no matter how many robots-with-balls movies he makes, we'll always have THE ROCK and we've got an all-new Pop-Up Movie Facts to remind you of it's awesomeness.
