”Die hard on a battleship. A high-tech thriller with laughs and thrills.”

It’s not a job. It’s an adventure! Steven Seagal comes aboard and comes on strong, combining humor and heroics in a fireball of a movie.

The excitement starts when the USS Missouri welcomes aboard the musicians and caterers set to provide entertainment during the famed battleship’s last voyage. The visitors throw a party, all right. A war party. Led by a rogue CIA operative (JFK’s Tommy Lee Jones) and a turncoat officer (Lethal Weapon’s Gary Busey), they’re really killer-elite commandos out to hijack the ship’s nuclear arsenal. The overpower the crew. Except for one man.

“I’m just a cook,” that man says. But he’s a cook with a recipe for action. He’s ex-Navy SEAL and highly decorated combat operative Casey Ryback (Seagal). Relying on his slambang martial-arts skills and equipped with enough hardware to single-handedly wage World War III, Ryback turns the Missouri’s deck and below-deck areas into guerrilla combat zones. All hands ready, action fans!
