Plot Synopsis
Storyline
Former CIA analyst, Jack Ryan is in England with his family on vacation. He then goes to Buckingham Palace to meet them when there's an explosion. Some people are trying to abduct a member of the Royal Family but Jack stops them killing one of them and capturing the other. He learns that they're Irish revolutionaries and the two men are brothers. The one that's still alive vows to get Jack. Later while the man is being transported, he is broken out. Jack learns of this but doesn't think there's anything to worry about. But when he's at the Naval Academy someone tries to kill him but he stops him. He learns that they're also going after his family so he rushes to find them but they made an attempt but they survive. That's when Jack decides to rejoin the CIA. And they try to find the man before he makes another attempt. Written by rcs0411@yahoo.com

Trivia
Harrison Ford, Samuel L. Jackson and James Earl Jones have all appeared in the Star Wars films. Ford played Han Solo, Jackson played Mace Windu, and Jones was the voice of Darth Vader. See more »Goofs
Jack Ryan is awarded the Knight Commander of the [Royal] Victorian Order, which is only available to British Citizens. The Central Intelligence Agency only recruits US Citizens. Jack could not therefore be knighted by the British. In the book however, an exception was made because he saved a member of the Royal Family, but this is not mentioned in the film. See more »Quotes

This is an outstanding thriller, a movie I have always enjoyed watching since it came out. Apparently a number of people also did since a few sequels followed featuring the main character ex-CIA analyst "Jack Ryan," played by Harrison Ford.
Sean Bean was excellent as the revenge-obsessed villain, a member of a "splinter group," as its labeled not really an IRA extremist, but one too out-of- control for any group. Ford is the man best able to stop him and the film is very interesting start-to-finish and smart enough not to overdo the violence. Suspenseful is probably the best word to describe the movie as Bean goes after Ford's family.
Anne Archer, as Ford's wife, along with the rest of the cast, actors such as Patrick Bergen, James Earl Jones, James Fox, Richard Harris and a young Thora Birch make this a well- acted movie.
This is simply one of the best thrillers I've ever seen and almost every scene is interesting.
