With an incredible, star-studded cast, The Hunt for Red October was a bonafide hit and instant classic for any war movie enthusiast. Based on the 1984 Tom Clancy novel of the same name, The Hunt for Red October is a tense claustrophobic thriller placing much of its cast in close quarters.
4 Clear and Present Danger Ford reprises his role as Jack Ryan in Clear and Present Danger, the final film focusing on this version of the character and the last to be directed by Phillip Noyce.
