Seagal was way ahead of the rest of Hollywood in his efforts to support
environmental causes. In this instance he targets the oil companies – by far
the biggest polluters of the planet.
In
an effort to meet a deadline, an oil company commences an operation without

huge knock. Its ruthless CEO hires a hitman to dispose of the man in charge as
well as the oil-fire expert who minimised the damage.
