Fire with Fire

Seagal plays Franco Barbosa, a long serving member of the US Army whose friend since birth Jo-Jo (The Rock) is taken hostage by a violent terrorist group in Baghdad. The group are demanding the release of militant leader who is held deep within the US Army base, and are making low-quality video demands across the TV networks that if he isn't released; Jo-Jo will die.

Franco's boss Sgt. Jim Bauer (played by Morgan Freeman in his 605th role as military sargent) takes the government's line that they will not negotiate with terrorists, so Franco plans to break in to the base and take militant leader hostage for himself. Barbosa plans to use his 'gung-ho' approach to get his friend back unharmed; and beat the no-good terrorist that their own game. He's fighting fire with fire.
