Um þessa kvikmynd

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 Russian naval and air commands are trying to find him, too. The hunt is on!

Einkunnir og umsagnir

This is a really good movie, very intelligent, and sharp. But it deviates quite a bit from the book (no surprise, since the book is quite long, and it is hard to fit all the carefully crafted details in a 2-hour movie). If you liked the movie, you will be blown away by the book.

As much as I despise alec baldwin, still one if my favorite movies. Sean Connery never disappoints!!!

AS an eight year old I watched this and became a communist because Soviet subs rule
