Movies like Under Siege

Die Hard is a quintessential action film starring Bruce Willis as John McClane, a lone NYPD officer trapped in a building with terrorists. Much like Under Siege’s setting on a battleship, Die Hard’s enclosed skyscraper setting ramps up the tension and stakes, making it a classic favorite among action enthusiasts.

Speed is a high-octane action movie with Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock set on a bus rigged with a bomb that will explode if the speed drops below 50 mph. The constant sense of urgency and innovative action sequences resonate with the fast-paced excitement of Under Siege.

Nicolas Cage and Sean Connery star in The Rock, where a group of rogue marines take control of Alcatraz and threaten to launch chemical weapons. The combination of a strong lead, a tight setting, and the threat of mass destruction makes it another favorite for those who enjoy siege scenarios.

Harrison Ford delivers an iconic performance in Air Force One as the President of the United States who has to take matters into his own hands when his plane is hijacked. The theme of one man against all odds aligns well with Steven Seagal's role in Under Siege.

Kurt Russell and Steven Seagal team up in Executive Decision, involving the hijacking of a commercial airplane by terrorists. The tactical teamwork and high-stakes scenario provide the same adrenaline rush as Under Siege, appealing to fans of tactical action thrillers.

Fans of the original Under Siege will naturally gravitate towards its sequel, where Steven Seagal returns as Casey Ryback. This time the action takes place on a hijacked train, adding a new dynamic but with the same intense action sequences and one man's fight against terrorists.
