Under Siege is a 1992 action film starring Steven Seagal and Tommy Lee Jones. It’s one of the sub-genre of films best described as “Die Hard on an X,” in this case a soon-to-be-retired Us Navy Battleship, the USS Missouri. Seagal is Casey Ryback, a Chief Petty Officer in the ship’s galley, although he originally was a Navy SEAL, a highly-trained special forces soldier. He is serving out the last of his enlistment as personal cook to Captain Adam’s, and (apart from an asshole of an Executive Officer) everything is going well. Unfortunately, on the ship’s last cruise, a group of mercenaries led by Tommy Lee Jones (in one of his wonderfully insane roles) arrive aboard disguised as caterers and a band for the Captain’s birthday. With the help of the turncoat XO the mercenaries seize the ship and proceed to loot it’s Tomahawk missiles for sale. Ryback begins a campaign to stop them, eventually enlisting an out-of-place Playboy model (hired to jump out of the birthday cake) and several other sailors. The film climaxes with the group of heroes turning the battleship’s guns on the mercenary’s escaping submarine before stopping a pair of nuclear missiles.
It’s a non-stop action flick with plenty of violence, explosions, gratuitous shots of the battleship herself (which was actually the museum ship USS Alabama, since the Missouri was still in service) and a Playboy model jumping out of a cake at the wrong moment.
