Editorial Reviews:  
 
 
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. If less instantly sympathetic than Ford, Baldwin is in some respects more interesting and nuanced as Ryan, and drawing comparisons between both actors' performances can make for some interesting postmovie discussion. That aside, The Hunt for Red October stands alone as a uniquely exciting adventure with a fantastic costar: Sean Connery as a Russian nuclear submarine captain attempting to defect to the West on his ship. Ryan must figure out his true motives for approaching the U.S. McTiernan (Predator, Die Hard) made an exceptionally handsome movie here with action sequences that really do take one's breath away. --Tom Keogh

THE HUNT FOR RED OCTOBER
 

EXCELLENT MOVIE A MUST FOR SEAN CONNERY FANS.I RECEIVED THE DVD PROMPTLY AND WILL CERTAINLY PURCHASE AGAIN.THIS IS A MOVIE I HAD SEEN MANY TIMES AND HAD BEEN SEARCHING FOR IT FOR A LONG TIME.



Horrible Picture Quality
 

. I have been replacing my favorites with DVDs and Red October was my latest purchase. DO NOT BUY THIS MOVIE IN DVD FORMAT. Hopefully they haven't screwed up the Blue Ray edition. The picture quality is atrocious. A disgruntled customer and pissed at Paramount for allowing this to happen. I am, Peter Harrison.

I will probably throw it in the trash. Paramount should be ashamed of themselves. The Hunt for Red October (Special Collector's Edition). Unfortunately, I gave my old Laser disk player and movies away months ago.



Worst HD transfer I've seen so far!
 

Just by the DVD, you won't miss the extra static contained in the higher definition version here. Of course its a classic film. Worst transfer to a "high-definition" format that I've seen so far.



Great Movie...........
 

loads of stars in this flick, great story and all the action sequences are filmed to a tee. One of my favorite movies, Sean Connery is excellent as the russian commander and Alec Baldwin does Jack Ryan better than Harrison Ford(Patriot Games). Highly Recommended for action movie enthuisiats.



A classic cold war film!
 

This film was an excellent adaptation of the Tom Clancy novel about a group of Russian officers trying to defect to the United States in the newest Soviet Submarine. This is not the standard Bond film and should not be expected as one. It is a little more realistic spy film that you could believe actually happened. This is an excellent movie of the games submarines play of cat and mouse. The Hunt For Red October is an excellent cold war film supported with great acting by Sean Connery and Alec Baldwin. Both Sean and Alec put in excellent performances as the defecting Russian captain and the CIA analyst who is the only one who believes the Russian's intentions are non-hostile.
