Sobre este filme

Based on Tom Clancy's bestseller, directed by John McTiernan (Die Hard) and starring Sean Connery and Alec Baldwin, The Hunt For Red October seethes with high-tech excitement and sweats with the tension of men who hold Doomsday in their hands. A new technologically-superior Soviet nuclear sub, the Red October, is heading for the U.S. coast under the command of Captain Marko Ramius (Connery). The American government thinks Ramius is planning to attack. A lone CIA analyst (Baldwin) 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 Russion naval and air commands are trying to find him, too. The hunt is on!

One of the best intelligent action films. Very well shot, with great acting and writing. Also has a great soundtrack. Probably the best Jack Ryan film ever made, and until we get a Splinter Cell or Rainbow Six film, probably the best Tom Clancy movie we'll see.

This is one of my favorite movies of all time. The storyline is exciting, and this is one of my favorite movies with Sean Connery in it. But I must admit, as good as the movie is, the book is even better.

Packed with suspense and seems to always entertain, The Hunt for Red October is an excellent well-made submarine war thriller that I recommend to pretty much anyone.
