Half Past Dead (2002)

In the shadowy labyrinth of crime that lurks beneath the everyday world, Sascha Petrosevitch, a gifted car thief with a tragic past, is lured in by the notorious criminal, Nick Frazier. He's the right hand of the ruthless crime lord, Sonny Eckvall, the man behind the cold-blooded murder of Sascha's wife. Just as the FBI, led by the tenacious Special Agent Ellen "E.Z." Williams, moves to snare Nick, a brutal confrontation ensues, leaving Sascha critically wounded and clinically dead for a fleeting moment. Eight months later, Sascha finds himself entombed within the chilling walls of the newly reopened Alcatraz prison, sharing the cold confines with none other than Nick Frazier. Controlled by the charismatic Warden Juan Ruiz "El Fuego" Escarzaga, the prison boasts an eerie state-of-the-art death chamber offering inmates five unique ways to meet their maker. The first to face this grim fate is Lester McKenna, an aging felon who masterminded a deadly heist amassing $200 million worth of gold bricks. As the Federal Bureau of Prisons head Frank Hubbard and Supreme Court Justice June McPherson converge on the island to witness Lester's execution, a deadly storm brews on the horizon. A well-equipped syndicate of terrorists, known as the "49ers", descends upon the island, seizing control with ruthless efficiency. Their leader, 49er One AKA Donny Johnson, Hubbard's treacherous assistant, is after Lester's hidden gold. But Donny's sinister plan falters when Sascha, the car thief turned prisoner, steps in. Unbeknownst to all, Sascha is an undercover FBI agent who had infiltrated Sonny Eckvall's criminal empire through Nick. As he rescues Lester and thwarts the 49ers' plans, a desperate game of survival ensues. With June held hostage and the mainland forces planning an assault, Sascha must navigate a treacherous path of alliances and betrayals, joining forces with Frazier and other inmates to prevent Alcatraz from becoming a mass grave. Half Past Dead is a riveting tale of revenge and redemption that weaves a tense narrative around an undercover mission, a hi-tech prison, and a gold-driven conspiracy. It's a high-stakes game of survival where every heartbeat could be the last, where trust is a luxury and where the only way out is through the heart of danger.
