The Hunt for Red October | Stream Now on DirecTV, Available to Rent on Prime Video
Plot: In November 1984, the Soviet Union's best submarine Captain in their newest sub violates orders and heads for the U.S. Is he trying to defect or to start a war?
Our Take: There’s a star-studded roster of actors who have portrayed analyst Jack Ryan, a character inspired by Tom Clancy’s bestselling novels. Before Harrison Ford, Ben Affleck, Chris Pine and John Krasinski, a slick, young Alec Baldwin played the part in this Cold War-era action thriller. Tales of Americans and Russians joining forces for good aren’t exactly in surplus in 2020, so Ryan’s chummy nature with Soviet sub captain Marko Ramius (Sean Connery) makes an enjoyable throwback watch. — Hannah
