The Hunt for Red October
Directed by John McTiernanCIA-analist Jack Ryan beschikt over foto's van de Red October, een Russische atoom-onderzeeër die twaalf meter langer en drie meter breder is dal alle andere duikboten. Erger is, dat de Red October aangedreven wordt door een zogenaamde 'stille' motor, waardoor de onderzeeër niet door de sonar van de Amerikanen kan waargenomen worden en zo vrijuit verscheidene Amerikaanse steden met de grond gelijk kan maken.
The Hunt for Red October Ratings & Reviews
- Foster Lynch16 maart 2026Classic, amazing that it's 36 years old in 2026.
- ph0s14 februari 2026Timeless story with great characters
- grosborne9 augustus 2025A finer movie has never been made.
- Rick31 juli 2025About as good of a Cold War movie as you could get. The story is great, the acting is fantastic, and the movie looks great. The best part about this movie is how limited the communication is. Every little bit of communication is slow, limited, risks being interpreted incorrectly, and often simply isn’t possible for long stretches. Sam Neill’s character…. Poor guy just wanted a round American woman who would cook him rabbit stew.
- DixieMae27 januari 2026An oldie but a goodie, back when everyone knew who the good guys and bad guys were .....
- Toronto1229 januari 2026One of the best cold war movies ever. Also one of the best submarine movies. Great tech, great tension. Amazing adaptation of the book.
- Zokkiie27 juli 2025This is a solid Cold War thriller. Sean Connery is great as the Russian sub captain, and Alec Baldwin plays a surprisingly chill Jack Ryan. It’s not super action-packed, but the tension builds nicely, and the submarine stuff is way more exciting than you'd think. Feels a bit slow in parts, but overall, it holds up well. Pretty cool movie, worth checking out.
- Michael Surber5 juni 2025Connery vs Baldwin. Who do you think would win? Well, not here! Actually one of the best Jack Ryan films and of course it sets up pretty much all that follow. Alec Baldwin was terribly miscast in the role but still manages to be fairly convincing as Ryan. Still holds up after all these years though. Connery is amazing as usual.
- ርልዪረ5 maart 2025Quick take: Sean Connery and Alec Baldwin shine as Captain Ramius and Jack Ryan, respective. This classic played on lots of tried and true but not overdone dynamics: US/Russian competition, political lies, and Jack Ryan somehow knowing better than the entire US government (see Sum of All Fears, Crimson Tide, etc) What happens with the most famous Russian Captain decides to defect with the Russian federation's newest, most technologically advanced submarine - without 98% of his crew knowing oh and btw he let his superiors know his intentions before leaving? A killer movie, that's what. The good news is Ramius knows what he's doing. Having trained most of the Russian submarine Captains, their tactics he swats away like they're a fly short one wing. But how does he deliver a football stadium sized submarine to the US without raising suspicion, alarm, and getting destroyed? Enter Jack Ryan. Mr. Ryan (just, a CIA analyst, like in all his films), flies in on a helicopter with zero fuel, lies to the US submarine captain, and basically cons his way on to Ramius' ship. But the good news? He has a strong suspicion that Ramius wants to defect, and he's right. The rest of the movie is exceptional for Seaman Jones' amazing radio ear, interplay between the Russian ambassador and politician Pelt, male bravado, and Ramius' naval genius. You know how it's going to end, but you don't know how, and even on the 5th time watching it, I still get tingles. Highly Recommend. I may even live in Montana because of it.
- mickerdoo12 februari 2026A very long hunch payoff with incredible risk. Amazing cast with a near impossible story. Good sub drama but hard to do underwater.
- Keono4112 januari 2026A great movie about a great submarine. Recommended to me by a cold war submarine operator. Was well worth the watch! tense and action packed even in 2026. Still holds up!
- Troy Herriott4 januari 2026A classic
- Jakeys26 december 2025This movie is absolutely enthralling. Definitely on my multiple rewatch list, you can even look past the Scottish Russian.
- Caramoor2 mei 2025This is a must see. Great suspense and fun by master filmmakers.
- Kɱҽƚȥ Tԋҽαƚҽɾ20 april 2025I'm not one to watch movies much more than once or twice, but this is one I've seen at least eight times. Great movie and worth the watch.
