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!

After watching this back then I bought the book and became and instant Clancy fan. Althought the movies in general can´t reach up to the books because those are too complex there are some really good ones. Red October definately belongs into that category. It´s a classic cold war thriller with lots of suspension. Highly entertaining with great actors. Joh McTiernan did a great job of mixing the elements together. But as mentioned I recommend checking out Clancys books if you like this kind of storys. Especially the early ones of which a lot of the movies are based on are great.

The movie is pretty old, I know. But I still love it to watch on a Sunday when you are wasted because Saturday night was a hard party night. :D

Hell of a good movie that doesn't try to paint one side or the other as the 'bad guy', and as such avoids the usual politics of such premises and pulls off some fairly tense stand-offs at several key moments. But my absolute favourite part, only noticed on this most recent rewatch is that Stanley is credited as playing himself. A cute little tidbit that I missed so many times watching as a younger man.

I thought this was going to be a full blown spy action movie. The slow burn suspenseful movie was a surprise. The story is pretty interesting and the acting is good for the most part. It was a little too long and boring at parts. The special effects are a little dated. Still worth a watch.

A fine reminder that not all Cold War-era period pieces are unabashed feasts of propaganda. _Red October_ certainly paints the Russians in a very secretive light, but such treatment isn't unfair and the Americans on the other side of the ocean are hardly championed as the infallible superheroes More

When British intelligence sends some photographs to CIA analyst "Jack Ryan" (Alec Baldwin) he immediately races to his boss (James Earl Jones) with what seems like a fantastic tale about a submarine that uses a hydro-dynamic drive. That renders it almost silent to traditional sonar and therefore a t More
