Which 1990 action film is based on a novel of the same name by Tom Clancy?
'The Hunt for Red October' is a 1990 American submarine spy-thriller film starring Sean Connery and Alec Baldwin. It is based on Tom Clancy's 1984 debut novel of the same name. Set during the height of the Cold War, the film involves a nuclear submarine called 'Red October', created by the Soviet Union. Marko Ramius (Connery), the captain of the submarine, defects and aims to take the vessel to the United States to prevent the Soviets from starting a nuclear war. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) analyst Jack Ryan (Baldwin), the only man who sees the defection, must convince the US Navy of Ramius' true intentions.
The film is a somewhat faithful adaptation of Clancy's novel, though there are many deviations from parts of the original storyline. During its opening weekend, the film grossed $17 million, more than half its budget. As of 2022, it remains the 20th biggest opening weekend of all time.
Tom Clancy (1947-2013) was an American author who wrote about politics, spies and the military, usually set during or just after the Cold War. Seventeen of his novels became best-sellers, with over 100 million copies in print. 'The Hunt for Red October', 'Patriot Games', 'Clear and Present Danger', and 'The Sum of All Fears' were all made into films.
