Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })It's 20 Minutes into the Future, and Alcatraz has been reopened due to rising crime rates. Sascha Petrosevitch (Steven Seagal) is a car thief who's brought in by criminal Nick Frazier (Jeffrey "Ja Rule" Atkins) to work for crime boss Sonny Eckvall. Alas, he and Nick get busted, and Sascha has a near-death experience (hence the film's title). Eight months later, they're at Alcatraz. Lester McKenna (Bruce Weitz) is a prisoner who stole $200,000,000 worth of gold and stashed it somewhere, killing five people in the process. With the location of the gold still unknown, he's scheduled to be executed that night. Alas, a group of terrorists called the "49ers", led by Donald Johnson (Morris Chestnut), invades the island and takes it over. They want McKenna to tell them where the gold is. Sascha, Nick and the other inmates are forced to battle the terrorists to regain control of the prison.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })This film itself got an In Name Only direct to DVD sequel in 2007, sans Seagal, titled simply Half Past Dead 2 (which stars one of the supporting characters, so it's more like a spin-off). It co-stars Goldberg. It is also the only Seagal film with a PG-13 rating.

The Atoner: Lester. He has become deeply religious and mournful for the deaths he caused. Subverted in that he's not doing anything in particular to make up for it, since he isn't sure if anything in his power would make up for what he did. Since he is already on Death Row, he simply waits.

The Alcatraz: According to the directors commentary the screenplay for this film was actually written several years before The Rock's screenplay was conceived, and the original title of this film's screenplay was in fact The Rock, talk about Irony!
