A seemingly ordinary Hollywood night. Steven Seagal appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live in his signature black outfit, sunglasses, and an icy stare. Just a few opening questions, and the air turned tense.

Kimmel: “Heard you just got back from Eastern Europe?”
Seagal: “I go where I’m respected. Hollywood only respects tweets and scandals.”

When Kimmel tried to joke, Seagal shot back: “This industry is fake — and you’re part of it.” Then he stood and walked off stage, leaving the audience stunned.

Hours later, #SeagalVsKimmel exploded online. Seagal declared: “I bring truth and discipline. If that makes people uncomfortable, let them be.”

At 3:17 a.m., Seagal received a call from Yuri Antinov, a former Russian intelligence officer: “They want you silenced. Remember Operation Glass Mask?” — a list of those who truly run Hollywood.

Seagal vanished, forming the covert group Shadow Reel. Their plan: “The Night of the Broken Screen” — a one-night global broadcast exposing Hollywood’s hidden power networks. Ninety-seven minutes of revelations before being shut down, but leaked copies spread worldwide.

A movement, The Order of the Frame, was born. Seagal hid in a Serbian monastery, preparing for the next strike. One year later, thousands of screens lit up with Seagal holding The Myth Unwritten:
“Ask yourself one question — and ask it deep: Who’s directing your dreams?”

The screen went black. Silence spoke louder than applause.
