Oscar-winning legend Sean Connery enjoyed a career renaissance after winning Best Supporting Actor for The Untouchables. In his twilight years, the former James Bond was playing the wise mentor to the stars of the day, including Kevin Costner, Harrison Ford, and Alec Baldwin. Though it appeared his Agent 007 days were long behind him, Michael Bay’s The Rock allowed Connery to give his superspy persona a fitting farewell in the most unlikely way.
'The Rock' Allowed Sean Connery To Play an Age-Appropriate Action Hero In the ‘60s, Connery’s Mason had stolen J. Edgar Hoover’s secret microfilm containing government secrets. Refusing to reveal its location upon captivity, Mason was tried and sentenced to Alcatraz Island, which he managed to break out of.
Mason is not without his grounded human traits, which were not present during much of Connery’s time as 007. As overwhelming as the rescue mission gets, he is fearless in the face of tragedy. When the USN team led by Commander Anderson gets wiped out by Hummel's men, Mason could easily abort the mission to save his skin. However, he has his stake in succeeding due to the impact Hummel’s threat has on his estranged daughter Jade .
