Steven Seagal, like Chuck Norris, Jean Claude-Van Damme and Dolph Lundgren, never quite managed to hit the level of stardom that Stallone or Schwarzenegger did in the 80's pantheon of action. After some successful B level hits of the time like Out for Justice and Above the Law, Seagal got his big hit in 1992's Under Siege!
Seagal is Casey Ryback, a Navy SEAL turned cook aboard the battleship USS Missouri. When a team of commandos led by disgruntled CIA agent William Strannix (Tommy Lee Jones) and turncoat Commander Krill (Gary Busey) take the ship over for its 32 nuclear Tomahawk missiles, Ryback must take back the ship and save his shipmates. Helping him is Playboy babe Jordan Tate (Erika Eleniak) who proves a woman can be just as badass as she is beautiful. Can Seagal pull off this "Die Hard on a boat" plot? Is Strannix really the bad guy? Who else wore out their VHS tape of Tate's topless cake tease? Join Cordell and Lucas as we review this movie under siege!
