Submarine Hunt
Director John McTiernan's film, based on Tom Clancy's bestselling novel, is the story of men who hold the responsibility of doomsday. A brand-new, super-modern, nuclear-powered Soviet submarine is heading for the US coast. Its commander is Captain Marko Ramius (Sean Connery). The US government fears that the submarine "Red October" will attack. A CIA analyst (Alec Baldwin) is of a different opinion. He thinks Captain Ramius wants to emigrate. But he has only a few hours to find him and prove his point. In fact, the Soviet Navy and Air Force are searching for the submarine as well. The hunt for the submarine is on
Patriot High Game
After his adventures with Captain Ramius and his submarine, the Red October, Jack Ryan has traded a dangerous career of active duty for the quieter lee of the school department. One of Ryan's lecture trips to London changes everything. An IRA terror squad attacks a select member of the royal family in a lightning-fast and unexpected manner, but there's one thing none of the tough Irish professionals ever dreamed of. Ryan's lecture has just finished, and being in the vicinity of the event is fatal to the perpetrators of the attack. The assassination is foiled and Ryan becomes a hero, taking credit for the death of young terrorist Patrick Miller. Unfortunately, he has no idea that his vengeful brother Sean Miller is still unhappily in his debt. Jack Ryan and his family become the next target of an Irish hitman who lives only for revenge...
Clear Danger
For the third time, we meet CIA agent Jack Ryan (played by Harrison Ford, the first time was in High Game of Patriots), here fighting not only the Colombian drug mafia, but also the treachery and dishonesty of his own associates. It started with the murder of a friend of the President of the United States. Although the crime turns out to be the work of Colombian cartel hitmen with whom the 'friend of the President' was in league, the Head of State decides to retaliate. Instructions are given to create a special undercover unit to take out the headquarters of the Colombian bosses. This is an illegal action because US military units are only allowed to operate abroad if there is a "Clear Danger". The CIA will put Agent Clark in charge of the operation. Meanwhile, Jack Ryan is also looking into the motives for the murder. He uncovers a link to the Colombian narcotics trade and travels to Bogota to gather more information Ryan risks his life and career for the only thing he still believes in - the truth...
Worst fears
In 1973, Egypt and Syria launched a surprise attack on Israel. And just then, an Israeli military plane armed with a nuclear bomb crashed during one of its patrol flights. It was, nearly a quarter of a century later, accidentally found somewhere in the desert and passed into the wrong hands. The world may have changed and the 'cold war' has become an archaic concept, but regional conflicts are all the more frequent and terrorism has taken on an almost horrific form. Against this backdrop, Jack Ryan, a young analyst specializing in the former Soviet Union, joins the CIA and is given a seemingly routine assignment. In the course of solving it, however, he stumbles upon a clue signalling that a bomb has been activated and is about to be delivered to the United States, and its detonation will be the strongest warning to the "rogue" superpower.
Jack Ryan: Undercover
Considering his young age, Jack Ryan has had quite a lot on his plate - a severe wound from the war in Afghanistan that nearly crippled him for life, a difficult recovery, a PhD in economics and a job as an economic analyst at the CIA, which he successfully keeps hidden from those around him and even his own wife (Keira Knightley). When he intercepts an unusual operation carried out by a Russian financial giant, his commanding officer (Kevin Costner) sends him to Moscow to find out what's going on. Upon arrival, Jack has to transform himself from a financial officer into an all-out action hero, as his presence in the Russian capital is not welcome and his initially friendly guide makes it quite clear by trying to eliminate him. Jack survives the first round and moves on to the second - a meeting with oligarch Viktor Cherevin (Kenneth Branagh), who hatches a plan that could fundamentally shake world stability. He seemingly has all the trump cards at his disposal, including Jack's wife, who impulsively decides to surprise her husband on a Moscow errand. If Jack Ryan is to save the world and his Kathy, he'll have to transform himself from a shaky rookie into a cold-blooded machine, unafraid to think and shoot at the same time...
