A new, technologically-superior Soviet sub, the Red October, is heading for the U.S. coast under the command of Captain Marko Ramius. The American government thinks Ramius is planning to attack.

The Hunt for Red October (1990)

Quite a tense, enjoyable thriller from a time when these were more common. The "red menace" paranoia spy films are a loss of our modern filmic world that is missed. They don't make 'em like they used to definitely applies here.

The Hunt for Red October (1990)

Crackerjack cold war 80s-era film. One of the greatest casts ever assembled - Connery, Baldwin, Ackland, Neil, Jones, Currie, Guttman etc. Brilliant adaptation of a brilliant book. Suspense and action are well balanced. Great lines and scenes.
