Plot Synopsis
Storyline

Aegis Oil's corrupt CEO, Michael Jennings, is the kind of person who doesn't care whether or not oil spills into the ocean or onto the land, just as long as it's making money for him. He even makes commercials that make him look like he cares about the environment. Jennings is almost finished with building his new state-of-the art oil rig: AEGIS-1. The problem is that if he doesn't finish building the rig in thirteen days, the land rights will be returned to the Eskimos and the Alaskan government. When Jennings finds out that Taft's best friend Hugh Palmer has a computer disk that contains information about defective equipment on AEGIS-1, he sends out his goons to murder Palmer. When Taft tries to interfere, Jennings tries to kill Taft. But an Eskimo woman named Masu, who introduces Taft to her father Silook, the chief of her tribe, rescues Taft. With Masu's help, Taft begins a trek through the ... Written by drayj65 <drayj65@hotmail.com>

Trivia
Steven Seagal filmed almost 40 minutes of footage for the environmental message at the end of the film, and planned to use it all in the final cut. After pressure from Warner Brothers, and a disastrous preview screening where audience members booed, laughed, and made obscene gestures for the entire sequence, Seagal cut the final scene down to about 7 minutes.

Crazy Credits
The first half of the end credits run over images of Alaska and its various wildlife, until we see Forrest Taft & Masu in a canoe, with Taft pointing out to Masu, a crow in front of them circling over the water (supposedly meant to be Silook in another form) See more »Alternate Versions

"I don't want to have to resort to violence!" And Seagal proves it by blowing up half of Alaska! Technically, he did a very good job directing this (all the pyrotechnics, fight scenes and cinematography are good). The heavy handed script makes this one of his lesser efforts, despite some clever commando tactics left over from UNDER SIEGE. Nonetheless, I would rather watch an inferior Seagal movie than most anything from Bruce Willis, Harrison Ford or Nicolas Cage.
