Throwback Thursday - Episode 3

“Welcome to The Rock!”

2019 - San Francisco, California

 

While shooting an ad for Alcatraz City Cruises, one of my all-time favorite clients, our Ranger pointed out two props from the movie The Rock starring Nick Cage and the late great Sir Sean Connery.

Circa 2019 - Two movie props from The Rock

You can find them inside the New Industries Building. If I recall correctly, that's where the infamous Al Capone used to work in the laundry.

Those windows above are the gun gallery for the prison guards. Also a must see.

Ask one of the national Park rangers about Capone, the props and the shoot. Great stories that I won't spoil here.

TIP: October thru April is THE best time for Bay area locals to visit Alcatraz. Plan ahead at least two weeks if you can but they always do their best to accommodate a last minute visit

You can see more of the New Industries Building in this ad we produced for Alcatraz City Cruises for the recent Red Power exhibit. It’s a powerful venue for artists to show their work.
