The Hunt for Red October (Special Collector's Edition) description
Before Harrison Ford assumed the mantle of playing Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan hero in Patriot Games, Alec Baldwin took a swing at the character in this John McTiernan film and hit one to the fence.

There have been a lot of good sub movies made over the years, including the great Run Silent Run Deep, The Enemy Below, Torpedo Alley, and Das Boot. But The Hunt for Red October might be the best of them all, because of the fascinating and detailed depiction of how nuclear submarines actually operate and what advanced submarine battle strategy in an age of electronic countermeasures is really like. The fun part of this movie is watching the two captains trying to outwit each other in a deadly game of hide and seek, and "torpedo chicken."
Sean Connery is great in the lead role as the maverick Lithuanian captain, but Alex Baldwin, Scott Glen turn in fine performances too. When Connery decides to defect with the world's most advanced nuclear sub, a sub with magnetohydrodynamic propulsion, his top submarine student is sent to find him and sink his ship before it's too late. But Connery is too crafty even for his brilliant student, and when his student makes the desperate, fatal move of removing the proximity fuse from the torpedo, he seals his own fate. The special effects and the explosions are also spectacular. Perhaps the last of the great Cold War thriller movies, The Hunt for Red October is a realistic, intelligent, and dramatic movie about sophisticated submarine warfare and tactics in the nuclear age. |
