The Hunt For Red October: Special Collector's Edition
Based on Tom Clancy's best-seller, directed by John McTiernan (Die Hard) and starring Sean Connery and Alec Baldwin, The Hunt For Red October seethes with high-tech excitement and sweats with the tension of men who hold Doomsday in their hands.
A new, technologically-superior Soviet nuclear sub, the Red October, is heading for the U.S. coast under the command of Captain Marko Ramius (Connery). The American government thinks Ramius is planning to attack. A lone CIA analyst (Baldwin ) has a different idea: he thinks Ramius is planning to defect, but he has only a few hours to find him and prove it-because the entire Russian naval and air commands are trying to find him, too. The hunt is on!

One of the best Jack Ryan novoels and movies, "The Hunt For Red October" is a tense submartine thriller that introduced Tom Clancy's best-known character onto the big screen. Ryan is, as usual, the man with all the required knowledge and experience for the task at hand, and is sent in to both save the day and bear the responsibility for the senior managers who don't want to be on the hook if things go wrong.
I won't rehash the plot here, as it is posted above. I wish the movie makers could have somehow worked in the other bits of the novel, with the Soviet and American fleets staring each other down, but only CGI could enable such scenes, and it wasn't available when the movie was filmed. Maybe we will get a remake when Hollywood works up to remaking its 1990s hits. I would like to say that the characters and character actors in this movie to a fine job - it is a very enjoyable thriller.Great Thriller! - ShawnConnery
Superb acting and a great story is what you'll discover when you watch this movie. Suspense is high thoughout the movie, and you will not be able to stop watching until the end. Their is minimal violence and bad language, and great performances from Sean Connery, Alec Baldwin, and the rest of the crew. The effects are a little outdated, but the rest of the movie makes it shine anyway.
