À propos de ce film

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!

Notes et avis

Unbelievable story makes for a fun coming-in-from-the-cold tale rendered in Sean Connery's unconvincing Russian accent. All in all, great fun but don't expect historical accuracy ;-)

Subtitles, then I'll buy; and that includes everything in Google's library without. It's a deal breaker.

The film gets ***** but Google Plays presentation not having subtitles or being in 4k drops ** (its available on iTunes with these features for the same money £3.99 at time of writing).
