Under Siege (1992)
Under Siege is a 1992 action thriller film directed by Andrew Davis from a screenplay by J. F. Lawton. It stars Steven Seagal (who also produced the film), Tommy Lee Jones, Gary Busey, and Erika Eleniak. Seagal plays Casey Ryback, a former Navy SEAL, who must fend off a group of mercenaries after they commandeer the U.S. Navy battleship Missouri.
The battleship USS Missouri (BB-63) arrives at Pearl Harbor, where then-President George H. W. Bush announces that the ship will be decommissioned in California. Casey Ryback, a chief petty officer and a culinary specialist, is preparing meals to celebrate commanding officer Captain Adams’ birthday, against the orders of executive officer Commander Krill, who has arranged for food and entertainment to be brought by helicopter. Krill provokes a tussle with Ryback. Unable to imprison Ryback in the brig without the captain’s approval, Krill detains him in the walk-in fridge and places Marine Private Nash on guard. The helicopter arrives with a musical band and caterers, accompanied them is Playboy Playmate Jordan Tate.
The band and caterers are actually mercenaries led by disillusioned former CIA operative Bill Strannix, who, aided by Krill, take over the ship. Several officers are killed, including Captain Adams. The surviving crew are imprisoned in the forecastle, with some stragglers confined in unsecured areas. Ryback hears the gunshots and persuades Nash to call the bridge. Strannix sends two mercenaries to eliminate Ryback and Nash. Nash is killed, but Ryback slays both mercenaries. He encounters Tate and reluctantly allows her to tag along.
Strannix and his mercenaries seize the ship’s weapon systems, shooting down a jet sent to investigate; they plan to cover their escape with missiles to obliterate tracking systems in Pearl Harbor. Strannix’s mission is to steal the ship’s Tomahawks and load them onto a hijacked North Korean submarine as revenge for the CIA attempting to assassinate him.
Strannix contacts Admiral Bates at the Pentagon to make demands, but learns Ryback has escaped. Krill discovers Ryback is a former Navy SEAL with extensive training in counterterrorism tactics; Captain Adams had taken Ryback aboard as his cook after Ryback was demoted for striking a superior officer who provided inadequate intel for a failed mission in Panama. Ryback contacts Bates who says a Navy SEAL team is underway to retake the ship. Ryback, helped by Tate, moves throughout the ship, eliminating any mercenaries. Krill activates the fire suppression system to flood the forecastle and force Ryback to rescue his mates while also setting an ambush.
