    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      The attack on members of the Royal Family at the beginning of the film was inspired by a similar true-life attempt to kidnap Princess Anne on March 20, 1974. She was in her car when a man shot her guard and driver. She was subsequently helped by a passerby who attacked the criminal and saved her.
    • Goofs
      While it is true that the average British police officer does not carry a firearm, there is no way that a convicted high-profile IRA terrorist would be escorted without an armed guard.
    • Quotes

      Jack Ryan: I want to know where Sean Miller and Kevin O'Donnell are.

      Paddy O'Neil: [scoffs] Let me try and understand this. You want me to sell out my fellow lrishmen to you? I don't think you understand me at all.

      Jack Ryan: Oh, l think l do.

      Paddy O'Neil: Listen! l don't give a damn what they've done. But the day l sell out my own people is the day l'll put a bullet through my head.

      Jack Ryan: So, that's it then?

      Paddy O'Neil: That's it. You know on second thought maybe I won't have a drink with you

      Jack Ryan: Fine. I'll go home.

      Paddy O'Neil: Have a nice trip.

      Jack Ryan: I'll go home and call all the news stations! Invite them into my daughter's hospital ward. Give them what they want!

      Jack Ryan: [Gets in O'Neil's face] I don't give a shit whether you did it or not. But if you don't help me, I will put such a stranglehold on your gun money that your boys will be out in the streets throwing rocks! I will *fucking* destroy you! I will make it my mission in life!

    Harrison Ford is the coolest.
    Patriot Games is a very well done action movie. I didn't feel dumbed down by the plot and everyone took their role seriously. Harrison Ford is the best action star of his generation and this movie is a brillant example of how Hollywood can sometimes make a good action picture. The film is well cast and the direction by Phillip Noyce is top notch. Patriot Games is well worth your while, especially if you like smart action pictures and Harrison Ford.
