Before Harrison Ford assumed the mantle of playing Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan hero in Patriot Games, Alec Baldwin took a swing at the character in this John McTiernan film and hit one to the fence. If less instantly sympathetic than Ford, Baldwin is in some respects more interesting and nuanced as Ryan, and drawing comparisons between both actors' performances can make for some interesting postmovie discussion. That aside, The Hunt for Red October stands alone as a uniquely exciting adventure with a fantastic costar: Sean Connery as a Russian nuclear submarine captain attempting to defect to the West on his ship. Ryan must figure out his true motives for approaching the U.S. McTiernan (Predator, Die Hard) made an exceptionally handsome movie here with action sequences that really do take one's breath away. --Tom Keogh |

We love this movie. Americancivilwar had a great price for it. I bought it online and it got here so fast my husband was totally surprised when he got home from work and found the box outside. The movie itself arrived in excellent condition and works perfectly. |

A good movie then and a good movie now. Great suspense and even though there have been other movies about submarines this one is refreshingly different. |

"The Hunt for Red October"
Good enough. The imperialist capitalists won.
I read this book in 1990. There is a new submarine developed by the Soviets. It is to be taken out on its maiden voyage. It is very quiet, so quiet that it is near impossible to detect with sonar. This makes it special to the United States Navy as well. The problem is that the Captain and other officers are tired of being under the oppression of the Soviets. With this sub they hope to make a good break for the United States.
The Navy catches wind of this new sub and wants to find it. The Soviets have caught wind of the desire to defect by the officers, so they want to find it as well. Simple story, pretty well written. |
