Product Description
Widescreen/Blu-ray. PG rating. Hunt for Red October. A contemplative thriller by early 1990's standards, the Hunt for Red October was the first movie based on the successful Jack Ryan novels of Tom Clancy. Hunt for Red October stars Alec Baldwin as eccentric CIA analyst Ryan and Sean Connery as Soviet submarine commander Marko Ramius. In the movie, Ramius sets the plot in motion when he murders his political adviser, burns his orders, and steers his sub Red October towards American waters, hoping to defect Robbed of much of the book's Cold War appeal by the time of it's release, the movie was nonetheless embraced by American audiences; it was among the ten highest-grossing movies of 1990.

There are a number of very good, thrilling, edge-of-the-seat movies made about submarine warfare, set both during WW2 and the Cold War. As examples: ‘Das Boot’(1981), the German masterpiece (and subsequent TV series); Dick Powell’s wonderful ‘The Enemy Below’(1957); & Robert Wise’s fine ‘Run Silent, Run Deep’(1958) all cover WW2. The excellent British-American ‘The Bedford Incident’(1965) and superb ‘Crimson Tide’(1995) are more contemporary.
Dramatic events playing out on submarines inevitably start from a strong position because of the setting, in a confined space, with jeopardy resulting from the physical positioning under the waves, as well as enemy action. Sounds are magnified. Human errors, mechanical failure, treachery, can have existential impact. Catastrophe is unqualified. So a good story, a well-written script, set on board a submarine, does signpost a possible winner. If that story is by Tom Clancy, and the source novel is already a best-seller, things are really cooking!
Clancy’s 1984 book was his first. The central character, Jack Ryan, is a CIA analyst, a clever man but not trained for field work ~ though that changes in subsequent novels and films, Events are contemporaneous, taking place in the final months before the election of Mikhail Gorbachev as General Secretary of the Soviet Politburo on 11 March 1985. This was the event that began the inexorable trajectory of the Soviet Union towards its dissolution, in December 1991. Prior to Gorbachev’s election however, there was a period of extreme instability, with two leaders (Andropov and Chernenko) elected and dying in quick succession, and an intensification of the Cold War. The book and film are set against this chilling backdrop, which although it is not mentioned, is woven into the fabric of events playing out. The development of a new, stealth, weapon, a sure-fire killer, is only too believable, and it makes the behaviour of a crew apparently gone rogue, totally unpredictable. Can Ryan unpick this high stakes conundrum? This is what the film considers.
The director of this winning formula is also a winner: John McTiernan of ‘Predator’(1987) and ‘Die Hard’(1988) fame. He takes Clancy’s sizzling premise by the scruff of the neck, and develops a blockbuster! The production team and cast were allowed unprecedented access to US submarines, although the filming was carried out on soundstages. In the days before CGI, everything was created using standard cinematic techniques, and hugely impressive it is.
The cast is large and seriously starry. Sean Connery and Alec Baldwin lead, as the Russian sub Captain, Marko Ramius, and Jack Ryan. Scott Glen as the CO of the US sub, and the late Richard Jordan, as the US National Security Advisor, are especially effective. So too is Courtney Vance, as the US sonar operator. McTiernan draws intense, committed, performances from everyone, and it makes for powerful drama.
It is ironic that the release of the film coincided with events leading to the end of the Soviet Union. For a while, the plot may have seemed ancient history. Now, in 2024, that is sadly, no longer the case. Watching this film is a reminder of how bad things can get, and it is well worth 6 chilling Stars.
La imagen de la película tiene una calidad perfecta. Esta en castellano, aunque prefiero el inglés para oírles. El sonido magnifico. Uso un antiguo amplificador Luxman y unos también antiguos Bose, aun no tengo Home Cinema, y no sé si,...
El guión es bueno y te mantiene en tensión, hasta el desenlace, con guiños de humor. Una gran film.
El envío perfecto y a tiempo. Me encantaría que todas mis compras futuras me provoquen la misma satisfacción que esta.
Well filmed, far out but still just plausible, this is good entertainment. Better than average.
