Plot: Stanley Goodspeed, who lives in Washington D.C., is a biochemist who works for the FBI. Soon after his fiancée Carla Pestalozzi announces that she is pregnant, Stanley gets a call from FBI director James Womack. Womack tells Stanley that San Francisco's Alcatraz Island has been taken hostage, along with 81 tourists, by marine General Francis Xavier Hummel who, for years, has been protesting the government's refusal to pay benefits to families of war veterans who died during covert military operations. The death of his wife Barbara Hummel on March 9, 1995 drove General Hummel over the edge, and now he's holding hostages in order to get his point across. Stanley is needed because General Hummel has stolen some VX gas warheads and has announced that he will launch them onto San Francisco unless his demands are met. Stanley knows how to disarm the bombs, but Stanley needs someone who knows Alcatraz well enough to get him inside. That man is former British intelligence agent John Patrick Mason, who has been in prison for the past 30 years without a trial because he was accused of stealing the private files of 'J. Edgar Hoover' (qv). In 1962, John became the only inmate ever to escape from Alcatraz, and he stayed out of Alcatraz long enough to father a daughter named Jade Angelou. Despite his extreme hatred of the FBI, John agrees to help Stanley. When John and Stanley are sent into Alcatraz with a Navy SEAL team, General Hummel's men kill the entire SEAL team, leaving Stanley and John to work on their own to rescue the hostages.

Stanley Goodspeed: Why didn't you just tell them were the microfilm was and create a solution?::John Mason: The moment they had the microfilm, they'd suicide me. Some solution.

Paul (hotel barber): Okay, I don't want to know nothing. I never saw you throw that gentleman off the balcony. All I care about is: are you happy with your haircut?

General Hummel: Did they bother to tell you who I am and why I'm doing this or are they just using you like they do everybody else?::John Mason: All I know is that you were big in Vietnam, I saw the highlights on television.::General Hummel: Then you probably have no idea what it means to lead some of the finest men on God's earth into combat and then watch their memories get betrayed by their own fucking government.::John Mason: I don't quite see how you cherish the memory of the dead by killing another million. And, this is not combat, it's an act of lunacy, General Sir. Personally, I think you're a fucking idiot.::General Hummel: "The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants."

Quotes:

King Henry VIII: Thomas. I chose the right man for chancellor!::Sir Thomas More: I should in fairness add that my taste in music is reputedly deplorable.::King Henry VIII: Your taste in music is excellent. It exactly coincides with my own!

The Duke of Norfolk: Oh confound all this. I'm not a scholar, I don't know whether the marriage was lawful or not but dammit, Thomas, look at these names! Why can't you do as I did and come with us, for fellowship!::Sir Thomas More: And when we die, and you are sent to heaven for doing your conscience, and I am sent to hell for not doing mine, will you come with me, for fellowship?

King Henry VIII: [shouting angrily] I have no queen! Catherine's not my wife! No priest can make her so! They that say she is my wife are not only liars, but traitors! Yes, traitors that I will not brook now! Treachery... treachery... treachery I will not brook! It maddens me! It is a deadly canker in the body politic, and I will have it out!

Richard Rich: I would be faithful.::Sir Thomas More: Richard, you couldn't answer for yourself even so far as tonight.

The Duke of Norfolk: The nobility of England...::Sir Thomas More: The nobility of England, My Lord, would have snored through the Sermon on the Mount, but you'll labor like scholars over a bulldog's pedigree.

The Duke of Norfolk: Your life lies in your own hands, Thomas, as it always has.::Sir Thomas More: Is that so, My Lord? Then I'll keep a good grip on it.

Sir Thomas More: [to the Chief Justice] Death comes for us all, My Lord... even for kings.

Cromwell: Now, Sir Thomas, you stand on your silence.::Sir Thomas More: I do.::Cromwell: But, gentlemen of the jury, there are many kinds of silence. Consider first the silence of a man who is dead. Let us suppose we go into the room where he is laid out, and we listen: what do we hear? Silence. What does it betoken, this silence? Nothing; this is silence pure and simple. But let us take another case. Suppose I were to take a dagger from my sleeve and make to kill the prisoner with it; and my lordships there, instead of crying out for me to stop, maintained their silence. That would betoken! It would betoken a willingness that I should do it, and under the law, they will be guilty with me. So silence can, according to the circumstances, speak! Let us consider now the circumstances of the prisoner's silence. The oath was put to loyal subjects up and down the country, and they all declared His Grace's title to be just and good. But when it came to the prisoner, he refused! He calls this silence. Yet is there a man in this court - is there a man in this country! - who does not know Sir Thomas More's opinion of this title?::Crowd in court gallery: No!::Cromwell: Yet how can this be? Because this silence betokened, nay, this silence was, not silence at all, but most eloquent denial!::Sir Thomas More: Not so. Not so, Master Secretary. The maxim is "Qui tacet consentire": the maxim of the law is "Silence gives consent". If therefore you wish to construe what my silence betokened, you must construe that I consented, not that I denied.::Cromwell: Is that in fact what the world construes from it? Do you pretend that is what you wish the world to construe from it?::Sir Thomas More: The world must construe according to its wits; this court must construe according to the law.

Cromwell: I know a man who wants to change his woman.

Margaret More: Father, that man's bad.::Sir Thomas More: There's no law against that.::William Roper: There is: God's law.::Sir Thomas More: Then God can arrest him.
