Under Siege

Before he became Russia's favorite son, Steven Seagal used to do all of his fightin' and killin' for America. And never more patriotically than in Under Siege. In the film, Seagal plays Chief Petty Officer Casey Ryback, a super secret badass hiding out in plain sight as a cook on the USS Missouri. After mercenaries take over the Missouri, Ryback springs into action and almost single handedly brings down the bad guys before they can offload the ship's nuclear arsenal. The action in Under Siege is top notch, with countless gun fights, fist fights, knife fights and at least one throat rip. The cast is rounded out with plenty of familiar faces like Tommy Lee Jones, Gary Busey, Erika Eleniak, Colm Meaney, Raymond Cruz and President George H. W. Bush. Under Siege is, in all likelihood, the best movie Steven Seagal ever made or ever will make.
