Trivia:
Tom Watt claims that he got his part because it amused director Phillip Noyce that an actor called Watt was auditioning for the role of an electrician. moreGoofs:
Factual errors: Jack Ryan could not have avoided the assassin by jumping behind a car because that particular street near the U.S. Naval Academy does not allow parking. moreQuotes:

Harrison Ford kicks some major butt in this film and proves again that he is the leading action star of his generation. Ford's action movie's never really seem silly, they always seem real. Alec Baldwin should have never let the character of Jack Ryan go, because Ford now personifies the super agent. Nice direction from Phillip Noyce and a great score from James Horner make this a very good action film.
