  • One of Sean Connery's best non-bond movies

    Back to the cold war era, where everyone is watching everyone! Connery plays the top Russian Submariner of his time having trained most of the russian submarine fleet. Now we have a significant game changer in the world of nuclear conflict where we can knock on the door without warning, a stealth submarine! As the premier Submariner commander, Connery takes out the latest hi-tech submarine the russians have to put it thro' it's paces. However, all is not what it seems. Connery as the commander has already gathered trusted officers and together they intend to defect, taking this hi-tech sub with them. The Americans already aware that this new sub is different are trying to play catch-up on what this sub is capable of etc. Jack Ryan plays the part of a naval historian, writer, ex naval officer who works in the murky world of espionage and becomes a key player in this film. Soon the whole of the russian naval fleet is deployed to hunt the Red October as Connery had already alerted the powers that be that his exercise is different to that planned. The story unfolds from hereon with the americans trying to findout if Connery is defecting or as the russians say that he is on his own and going to attack the usa in it's own back yard. Now the game of cat and mouse begins and the film evolves from hereon in. If you like cold war, spy thrillers, naval encounters and all things military, you should enjoy this film with it's twists and turns.

  • Good but not excellent

    It was very good and just what I wanted but I found the sound was poor and I couldn't access sub-titles so I missed some of the dialogue. But it will do. I probably won't watch it much.

  • Value for money every time.

    One of the best Cold War films out there, only Connery with a Scottish accent could get away with being a Russian.

  • Stunning, breathtaking and most plausable

    It was as expected really good with staying power for the whole time being viewed. Good story line and was plausible in the most, good acting as per usual by this star cast, most enjoyable.
