The roughest of Alaska's oil-rig roughnecks, Forrest Taft specializes in fighting oil-well fires. Yet he faces and even more incendiary battle against renegade Aegis Oil president Michael Jennings. Aegis has put profits over environmental safety. And that puts Taft,a Native Alaskan activist and anyone else opposing the company on its hit list. But Taft hits back, using the martial arts, survival and explosives skills he learned as a high-level CIA operative. Goin one-on-one or one-on-20, Taft lets the Aegis bullyboys know where they stand: mess with the land he loves and they're On Deadly Ground.
Editor's Note
An environmental Rambo goes after an evil oil corporation bent on slaughtering Eskimos, destroying the Alaskan wilderness and producing oil.
Plot Summary
Action hero Steven Seagal makes his directorial debut with this ecologically-sensitive thriller set in the wilds of Alaska. When maverick firefighter Forrest Taft discovers that his employer, Aegis Oil Company, is doing nasty things to the environment, he joins forces with the local Inuit tribe to save their land. Regarded by the Inuits as a warrior messiah, Taft is, in fact, an ex-CIA operative who has squirreled away enough weapons to liquidate a small country. He's a man of honor, of course, who kills only out of necessity -- and Aegis' corporate goons provide him with plenty of reasons to pull the trigger.
