A new technologically-superior Soviet nuclear sub, the Red October, is heading for the U.S. coast under the command of Captain Marko Ramius. The American government thinks Ramius is planning to attack. Lone CIA analyst Jack Ryan 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 Ramius, too. The hunt is on!

"We watched this movie in advanced English in my Junior year so that my teacher could take an international call. My love, Viggo Mortensen, is in this, so I was happy to see him on screen. Then I took a nap. I've seen it many time since but that was my introduction to this film. 😎👍🏻(see comments for my duh moment. Brought to you by, fortunately, a kind fellow reviewer.) "

"This is exactly how I would imagine a book adaptation to screen would be. It's set up in a structure that a book would be... The actors did so well with the material they were given. Sean Connery did such a good job with his nuanced, mysterious character. Sam Neil was very interesting, and I felt sympathy for his character's death. In fact, all of the actors were so good with the material they were given. Jack Ryan is a character whom I have not watched or read anything about, but this was a very good introduction. This movie was quite tense, and a slow burn, but personally, it wasn't the most interesting or engaging film. It's not bad, but it is not exactly a film I'll be re-watching anytime soon. I'm happy I watched it however, even if it wasn't a film I didn't exactly love. 7.5/10"
"Good start, Sean Connery is good, then fizzles into typical Hollywood fare."

"Timeless classic. Doesn’t rely on crazy cgi or green screens. A master piece in the golden age of cinema."
