Synopsis:

Basketball superstar Shaquille O'Neal ("Kazaan") sheds his hi-tops for a dazzling suit of battle armor as the latest and greatest DC Comics superhero to wage war on crime. When evil scientist Judd Nelson ("Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back," "The Breakfast Club") begins selling top-secret weapons to LA's street gangs, former military researcher Shaq joins forces with a brilliant electronics expert to build an invincible suit of armor. Layered in his magnetic metal sheath and armed with his own hi-tech weaponry, Shaq transforms into his mythic alter-ego, "Steel." From a secret command center, Steel sets out on a high-powered silver motorcycle to confront Nelson and rid the city of crime. Co-starring Annabeth Gish ("Double Jeopardy," "Nixon") and the original urban crime-fighter, Richard Roundtree ("Shaft," "Seven"). Directed by multiple Emmy-winner Kenneth Johnson (TV's "Incredible Hulk," TV's "V"). Produced by Oscar, Emmy and Grammy-winning producer/composer/performer, Quincy Jones.

"A funny, entertaining good vs. evil movie." -Bob Heisler, Los Angeles Times

Comments about Steel (DVD):

This movie is fantastic. I don't know why it wasn't released in stores as a regular DVD. I thought Shaquelle O'Neal did a great job playing John Henry Irons/Steel. Annabeth Gish was fantastic as his girlfriend, Sparks. The action was great overall. I would recommend this movie for anyone who's into the comic book character Steel

Comments about Steel (DVD):

Back in 1997 when STEEL arrived in theatres, it was known that this version was a loose interpretation of the comic original. Those of you devoted Superman fans out there remember the story of how John Henry Irons took on the mantle of Steel following the (alleged) death of Superman after his battle with Doomsday. No mention of Superman or that battle is made in this movie. It was written to stand on its own and not be so much an off-shoot of the comic original. For the budget, the film was well enough executed. And fans of Mr. Johnson's work will note the Tenctonese grafitti on the Dumpsters which appeared in the ALIEN NATION television series he produced years earlier. STEEL is clean entertainment for the family that can be enjoyed by comic purists or those new to the superhero film genre.
