In 1997, Shaquille O' Neill was on top of the world. He was one of the most famous basketball players in the country, he'd won gold at the 1996 Olympics, had 3 rap records, and a film in which he played a genie titled Kazaam. While the albums and film weren't massive successes, it didn't stop him from jumping on another film opportunity, 1997's DC Comics adaptation STEEL! He plays John Henry Irons, a weapons developer for the US military, who retires after an accident and has to don a suit of armor to stop an evil Judd Nelson from selling secretly developed weapons to street gangs. With the help of his friends Shaft and Annabeth Gish, he battles street crime in spectacularly stupid fashion.
