Customer Ratings & Reviews

'THE HUNT FOR RED OCTOBER' IS ABOUT A RUSSIAN SUBMARINE CAPTAIN WHO BOLDLY APPROACHES THE UNITED STATES COAST IN THEIR LATEST ATOMIC WEAPON CARRYING SUBMARINE. JACK RYAN, CIA AGENT, MUST CONVINCE HIS AUTHORITIES THAT HE SUSPECTS THE SUBMARINE IS NOT HERE SURREPTITIOUSLY TO SURPRISE ATTACK THE U.S. BUT BECAUSE THE RUSSIAN SUB CAPTAIN WANTS TO DEFECT TO THE AMERICANS WITH ALL THE SECRETS REPRESENTED BY THIS UNPRECEDENTED SUBMARINE. A SUSPENSEFUL AND BELIEVABLE YARN THAT KEEPS YOU GUESSING TIL THE VERY END. THIS WAS THE BEGINNING APPEARANCE OF THE 'JACK RYAN' CHARACTER THAT BROUGHT US MANY SEQUELS OF HIS ACTIVITIES IN THE SPY WORLD WHILE BEING BELIEVABLY AND SUCCESSFULLY PLAYED BY MANY DIFFERENT ACTORS.

One of my favorite movies, lost my copy so I bought this! If you like Tom Clancy, this would be one of the better movies based off of his books!

I absolutely love this movie and the way it unfolds! Cannot say enough great things about this movie!

Great price and selection. Always check out the dvd selection when I'm at the store.

We were watching it on TV and it is just such a great movie that we wanted to own it!

I am so glad I purchased this movie. I love watch it often.

After reading the book, I had to get the action-filled movie.

Movie and a great book. Sean Conner plays the part well.

This is a very good movie full of action and adventure.

Great older movie and suspenseful. Glad to own this.

Loved this movie. Alec Baldwin was wonderful as well as Sean Connery and many others. The story was not the usual intrigue; this story had a fabulous conclusion, so much fun to watch men exchange everything they had inside to accomplish what they needed and wanted. Not necessarily an action movie, more of a thinking movie about ambition meeting a person's truth. And it was super inexpensive. Best Buy has my favorite movies on dvd and they always provide accurate shipping info; website is easy to use.

good story and cast. if you like military themed movies you will enjoy

I have owned the VHS tape of this movie for many years. I was so happy to get it at Best Buy for a great price on DVD !! I really appreciate the rewards program, as it saves me so much money on my movie collection .

The book this movie is based on was excellent. The film makers did an excellent job of converting a book into a movie. I loved the movie the first time I saw it in the theater and wanted my own copy.

Good Fun Suspene. For an Oldie, this movie still keeps my interest. Saw it in Theatres years ago and still love it today. It never gets old. Sean and Neil made this movie feel very real...

Classic Jack Ryan movie! One of Sean Connery’s best movies with a more intriguing plot. One of the best flicks I have seen.

One of the best cold war, suspenseful movies made. Great actors and storyline.

This is a classic Sean Connery movie. The music is wonderful with the men's choir. Also keeps you on your toes.

This 1990 film still holds up after all these years. Sean Connery, Alec Baldwin and Scott Glen play their roles well. James Earl Jones and Tim Curry are also notable in their smaller parts. The movie stays pretty true to the book. Certainly worth the bargain price I paid @ Best Buy!

Great movie and Great price from Best Buy. Quick shipping too.
