Steel is the name of a 1997 movie starring basketball star Shaquille O'Neal and X-Files star Annabeth Gish. It is a superhero action-adventure film based on the DC Comics character of the same name. The movie (released on August 15) was considered a huge disappointment both critically and financially. Steel was produced for an estimated $16,000,000 but grossed only $1,686,429 at the box office.
John Henry Irons is a weapons designer for the United States military. When his project to create weapons that harmlessly neutralize soldiers is eradicated, he resigns in disgust. When he sees criminal gangs are using the weapons that he helped manufacture on the street, he uses his resources and his Uncle Joe's equipment in his junkyard to fight back against the man who's been selling them to those gangs: Nathaniel Burke. In order to do so, he uses the resources that are available to him to forge himself a suit of armor and the weaponry necessary to carry out his war on crime.
