Plot
Under Siege is a 1992 action-thriller film that follows the story of Casey Ryback (played by Steven Seagal), a former Navy SEAL who is now a chef on the USS Missouri, a battleship hosting a charity gala. The movie begins with disgruntled ex-CIA operative Thomas Strannix (played by Tommy Lee Jones) and his assistant, Deveroux "Deke" Krill (played by Gary Busey), leading a group of terrorists who seize control of the battleship. The team, armed to the teeth and well-equipped, have planned for every contingency and seem unstoppable. As Ryback learns about the takeover, he finds himself face-to-face with Strannix, who reveals that his motive is not just to gain leverage but also to exact revenge on the Navy and the government. Ryback, a man of strong convictions and principles, refuses to back down in the face of adversity and decides to take matters into his own hands. With the help of Bridget (played by Erika Eleniak), a beautiful and resourceful ship's clerk, Ryback uses his combat skills and experience as a SEAL to fight back against the terrorists. As the battle ensues, Ryback finds himself in a series of intense and action-packed confrontations with Strannix and his cohorts. Despite being vastly outnumbered and outgunned, Ryback manages to hold off the terrorists long enough for the ship's crew to regroup and launch a counterattack. In the end, Ryback faces off against Strannix in an epic showdown that tests their skills, strength, and resolve. Throughout the movie, Seagal brings his trademark blend of physicality and charisma to the role of Casey Ryback, making him a believable and likable hero. The film's mix of intense action sequences, memorable characters, and patriotic themes has made it a cult classic among fans of the genre.
