Action hero Steven Seagal returns as counterterrorist Casey Ryback. Now retired, he and his niece are headed west aboard the Grand Continental train when diabolical Travis Dane (Eric Bogosian) and his henchmen hijack the iron horse. Dane needs a mobile base to level the Eastern seaboard -- starting with the Pentagon -- using a secret government satellite. It's up to Ryback and a petrified porter (Morris Chestnut) to outwit the criminal genius.
