Hard to Kill (1990) 

Mason Storm (Steven Seagal) is a dedicated and highly skilled LAPD detective who has spent years fighting crime in Los Angeles. Known for his relentless pursuit of justice and his formidable martial arts skills, Storm is not afraid to take on powerful enemies. One night in 1983, while working undercover, he stumbles upon a major conspiracy involving high-level government corruption. Using a hidden microphone, he secretly records a meeting between a group of influential men, including a ruthless and ambitious politician, Senator Vernon Trent (William Sadler). During the meeting, Trent and his associates discuss their criminal activities, including bribery, murder, and their plans to manipulate elections to gain even more power. Storm realizes he has gathered incriminating evidence that could destroy Trent’s career and bring down an entire network of corruption within the government and the police force. Knowing that he is now in possession of dangerous information, Storm decides to be cautious. He leaves the scene and contacts his superior, but before he can report his findings, he realizes that he has been betrayed from within the force—someone has tipped off Trent’s men that Storm has evidence against them. Sensing imminent danger, Storm rushes home to his wife Felicia and young son Sonny, intending to get them to safety. However, before he can act, a team of professional assassins, led by corrupt cops working for Trent, storms into his home in the dead of night. In a brutal ambush, Storm is shot multiple times, and his wife is murdered in cold blood. Despite his injuries, Storm fights back with everything he has, but he is ultimately overwhelmed and left for dead. His young son Sonny manages to escape the attack, fleeing into the night. The corrupt officers, believing that Storm is dead, declare the case closed and erase any evidence linking Trent to the crime. However, unknown to them, Storm miraculously survives the attack. He is rushed to the hospital, where he slips into a deep coma. To protect him, a trusted doctor lists him under a false identity, ensuring that no one—especially Trent’s men—knows that he is still alive. For seven long years, Storm remains in a vegetative state, unaware of the world around him, while Trent rises in political power, untouchable by the law.

In 1990, Mason Storm unexpectedly wakes up from his coma. Weak, disoriented, and struggling to remember the details of the night that changed his life, he slowly begins to regain his senses. His attending nurse, Andy Stewart (Kelly LeBrock), quickly realizes that Storm is not just another patient—he is a man with a violent past and a dangerous future. As soon as news of his awakening reaches the wrong ears, Trent’s men mobilize to eliminate him once and for all. Andy, recognizing the danger he is in, helps Storm escape the hospital just moments before assassins arrive to finish the job. They go into hiding in a secluded cabin, where Storm, despite his frail condition, begins an intense rehabilitation process. Driven by a thirst for revenge and justice, he pushes his body to its limits, using meditation, martial arts, and strength training to regain his physical prowess. His memories slowly return, and he pieces together the betrayal that led to his downfall. As he recovers, he learns that his son Sonny survived the attack and has been raised in secret by family friends, unaware that his father is alive. Now fully restored and deadlier than ever, Storm begins his mission to take down the men who destroyed his life. He systematically hunts down and eliminates Trent’s enforcers, leaving a trail of bodies behind. Using his detective skills, he uncovers more evidence of Trent’s corruption, including his involvement in drug trafficking and money laundering. Meanwhile, Andy stays by his side, offering both emotional and tactical support. As they work together, she becomes more than just an ally—she becomes a source of strength for Storm, reminding him of what he has to fight for beyond just vengeance. However, the deeper he digs, the more dangerous his mission becomes, as he realizes that Trent has expanded his influence to include some of the highest-ranking officials in the police department.

Storm’s relentless pursuit of justice leads him to a final confrontation at Trent’s heavily guarded mansion. Knowing that this is his last chance to bring his enemies down, he infiltrates the estate, using his combat skills to take down Trent’s bodyguards one by one. In an intense sequence of brutal hand-to-hand combat and gunfights, Storm proves that he is unstoppable. He finally comes face to face with Trent, who arrogantly believes that his political status will protect him from any consequences. However, Storm is not interested in negotiations—he wants justice. He plays the incriminating recording he made years ago, broadcasting it to the media, ensuring that Trent’s crimes are exposed to the public. Realizing his empire is crumbling, Trent tries to escape, but Storm catches him in a final showdown. After a vicious fight, Storm incapacitates Trent and ensures his arrest, delivering poetic justice to the man who had orchestrated his downfall. With Trent’s empire destroyed, Storm reunites with his son Sonny, finally reclaiming the life that was stolen from him. He and Andy walk away together, knowing that while the battle has been won, there will always be more fights ahead. But one thing is certain—Mason Storm has proven that he is truly Hard to Kill.
