About this product

Product Information

In the tradition of DIE HARD and PREDATOR, director John McTiernan presents audiences with yet another techno thriller: THE HUNT FOR RED OCTOBER. Sean Connery plays Captain Marko Ramius, a dissatisfied Russian commander who navigates his submarine towards America in an attempt to defect. Soviet intelligence claims that Ramius is a warmonger and that he plans to launch nuclear missiles at the United States. Jack Ryan (Alec Baldwin), an iconoclastic CIA agent, believes otherwise: American spies have determined that the submarine is powered by a stealth engine. In order to save the "caterpillar drive" and avoid a nuclear incident, Agent Ryan must board the Red October and assist Captain Ramius in its navigation to U.S. waters. Both murky and captivating, the underwater visual and sound effects are reminiscent of DAS BOOT. Once again director McTiernan produces a winning film with a jagged plot, a well acted script, and plenty of explosions.

  • An excellent submarine drama

    An excellent, even if slightly dated, submarine drama. The book it was based on - by Tom Clancy - was riveting and the movie was an excellent adaptation of the book. Baldwin and Connery were perfectly cast for their roles. A must-see for anyone interested in submarine movies - and anyone else.

  • Suspensful Guessing Game between The Red October and the American Navy

    Full of suspense throughout. Will the Americans decide this Russian super sub is on an attack mission against the US or is something else going on as indicated by the cat and mouse game between the Red October and other Russian subs? Great actors, great suspense, great film. One of my very favorites.

  • Underwater Chess match

    This is a good film and a great story. We expect good photography today, and realism, and you will not be disappointed. The story itself is intrigue of men planning and second guessing each other, and a fantastic thread of a plot.
