The Hunt for Red October

A rogue Soviet sub cruises toward the East Coast, armed with nuclear missiles. Do you A) book the first flight to L.A., B) destroy it before it destroys you, or C) climb aboard and become comrades with its Russian commander? That scenario is tested in this 1990 military thriller based on Tom Clancy’s best-selling novel and directed by the man behind Die Hard. Alec Baldwin plays Jack Ryan, a CIA agent who’s convinced that the captain of “Red October” (Sean Connery) is one of the good guys, just heading this way to defect. U.S. officials want the sub’s technology. The Russians want it back – along with its sneaky captain. And everyone’s hoping these stealthy underwater maneuvers won’t spark World War III. Break out the Vodka and brace yourself for a wild ride!
