The battleship USS Missouri is about
to be decommissioned from service after a visit from the president. When the
president departs the vessel, a band of terrorists overcome the remaining
skeleton crew and take over the ship, under the ruse of holding a surprise
birthday party for the ship's commander, Captain Adams (Patrick O'Neal). The
band is led by Strannix (Tommy Lee Jones), a disgruntled ex-CIA operative, and
his right-hand man, the psychotic Krill (Gary Busey). The terrorists plan to
steal the ship's store of nuclear warheads, transfer them to a stolen North
Korean submarine, and sell them to a Middle Eastern country. Unfortunately for
Strannix, he has overlooked the ship's cook, Casey Ryback (Steven Seagal).
Ryback is a much-honored Navy SEAL who, because of a minor scandal, is quietly
completing his twenty-year tour in the galley of the Missouri. Forced into
action, Ryback, along with the woman who jumped out of Captain Adams' birthday
cake (Erika Eleniak), knocks off the bad guys inside the bowels of the ship.
