## Resource

In this episode of The Seagal Series, we take a look back at Under Siege (1992), the movie many fans see as the peak of Steven Seagal’s action-movie run. Directed by Andrew Davis and loaded with big villain energy from Tommy Lee Jones and Gary Busey, this battleship-set action hit helped push Seagal into the mainstream and gave him his biggest movie of the era. We’re breaking down the action, the villains, the box office, and why Under Siege still stands as one of the most entertaining 90s action movies. If you love retro action, VHS-era nostalgia, and fun movie deep dives, you’re in the right place.
