Under Siege 2: Dark Territory is a 1995 American action thriller film directed by Geoff Murphy, starring Steven Seagal as the ex-Navy SEAL, Casey Ryback.

Set on board a train traveling through the Rocky Mountains from Denver to Los Angeles, it is the sequel to the 1992 film Under Siege also starring Seagal.

The group, led by former U.S. government employee and computer genius Travis Dane and Marcus Penn, cut the train phone lines and take the passengers and staff hostage, herding them into the last two cars.

Dane threatens two former Department of Defense colleagues with burning soldering irons in their eyes unless they reveal codes to take over Grazer.

Dane demonstrates Grazer to investors by destroying a Chinese biological weapons facility that was passing itself off as a fertilizer production plant.

Zachs discovers they are on the wrong tracks and on a collision course with a Southern Pacific bulk freight train carrying gasoline tank cars.

Casey kills the mercenaries one by one and releases the hostages, but Dane uses his computer skills to find the F-117s and then re-target Grazer to knock them out before they complete their mission.

The crash happens on a trestle, resulting in an explosion that destroys the bridge and kills Scotty, the mercenary driving the train.

Ryback races through the exploding train, exits the carriage, and grabs a rope ladder hanging from the helicopter.

And what I love about Die Hard was this idea of the underdog, that here's this guy, especially in that first movie, who's a cop from New York who doesn't even have shoes.

Director Geoff Murphy called making the film "a very dreary process and very highly contentious at the time – lots of arguments and stuff.

The site's critical consensus states, "Utterly forgettable and completely unnecessary, Under Siege 2 represents a steep comedown from its predecessor – and an unfortunate return to form for its star.

[12] Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times gave the film a three-star rating in his review,[13] while Peter Rainer of the Los Angeles Times wrote that "the action upstaged the actors.

By December of that year, Mister stated that the script was completed and whether it moves forward was up to Seagal and studio executives.

Timo Tjahjanto will serve as director, with a script written by Umair Aleem, based on an original story co-written by the pair.
