Connery is awesome. Connery is awesome. Connery is awesome. Connery is awesome.

I saw this in theater when I was a kid. The transfer to 4K is definitely with owning.

Definitely a favorite for submarine movies. It doesn’t have as much action as other movies but the story, suspense, and everything about this movie is simply great. I’m so glad it’s in my movies.

One of the best films ever made for the big screen!

Great movie and excellent upgrade. Sound is amazing.

Such an epic movie about a missing sub. Must own for sure.

The Hunt for Red October what can I say about this movie except well balanced all around great movie. Starring Alec Baldwin, Sir Sean Connery, and also a surprised star in this James Earl Jones. I personally love the movie The Hunt for Red October Alec Baldwin stars as a special operative for the US Navy. James Earl Jones is a friend and commanding officer in the Navy. Sean Connery plays a Russian subcommander who is trying to defect to the United States. The whole thing is about a story back from the 1960s about a sub similar to one in the hunt for Red October. This is a movie with limited special effects but the acting is the key here. With a great cast great storyline as shifts an incredible movie to have and to own. I would recommend the hunt for right October so much it's just that good.

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!

THE HUNT FOR RED OCTOBER keeps tension and suspense front and center. The plot builds nicely, keeping you guessing as it moves quickly along. The tight writing and strong acting make much of essentially watching a chess game in which players try to guess the others' next moves. Every ounce of Sean Connery's charisma is on display, and a young Alec Baldwin is fun to watch as a nerdy government analyst who's a bit out of his depth. Both are strongly supported by the likes of Sam Neill, Stellan Skarsgård, James Earl Jones, Tim Curry, and more. Although the content is fine for most tweens, it's more likely to be enjoyed by teens who can appreciate tension as a dramatic device. Navy and submarine buffs also will enjoy the depictions of strategizing, navigating, and sonar operations in the cramped confines of both Russian and American subs. It's fun to see what cutting-edge technology was like 30 years ago, and it's also a bit of a history lesson about the tensions of the Cold War, reminding us of how much U.S./Soviet tension was a huge backdrop to life then.

One of my favorite movies of all time. I never get tired of watching it. It is just so well made. A cinematic masterpiece. An incredible cast and excellent story telling. They just don't make them like this anymore. The feeling of suspense and excitement all perfectly balanced. When I first saw this movie in the theaters I left with a upbeat feeling, and I knew I had to see it again. The camaraderie between the characters on both sides, the relative dialogue was so enjoyable. I was giddy. The transfer. I have been waiting for a long time for a proper treatment for this film, and a 4k version has finally been released. It's slightly on the dark side but the details are there to be admired. The 4k looks more filmic than the 1080 in my opinion. Definitely an improvement. The sound is where it shines. I noticed it right off the bat. The low frequency sounds, especially during the submarine sequences, the engine noises, all stand out. Also, surrounds are detailed and distinct even for a older movie like this. I was satisfied with this buy. Look into it folks, I think you'll like it.

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.

One of my favorite movies, bought it again because my old copy wore out

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

Bought this for my father as a gift and he loved the movie. Shipping was fast as well

While not offering the best of what UHD has to offer, The Hunt for Red October is a noticeable upgrade to the bluray release. Filmed on 35mm film using techniques to create the atmosphere doesn't leave much to truly enhance, still the image is clear, colorful and a joy to watch. The same Dolby TrueHD soundtrack is also featured with a few minor enhancements. If you are a fan of the Jack Ryan series or just looking for the best home version of The Hunt For Red October, this film won't disappoint.

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

Movie is based upon the fictional book. Fact: Author was questioned for giving away technical secrets after book was published. He showed them how he gathered the data from public papers and became a lecturer for the Pentagon. Tense action packed solution to how a Russian Officer defects and steals a top secret submarine during the cold war and then trades it to the US for sanctuary without getting caught, starting World War III, or getting assassinated at a later time.

This has been one of my favorite Tom Clancy movies of all time and I was elated when I saw it at Best Buy on 4K. The 4K presentation doesn’t disappoint and it is well worth the purchase if you don’t yet have it - give your Blu-ray to a good friend as you get another with the 4K movie anyways. The steel book case is a nice addition. Although I am not a collector of steel book cases as they just add to the cost of the movies, I didn’t mind getting it with this movie because I enjoy the movie so much. A great Dolby Vision presentation with fantastic Dolby TrueHD 5.1 audio!

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