The President of Russia passes away, and his successor is someone with a dark history.

When the CIA discovers that Russia may be re-energizing its efforts to make nuclear weapons, they realize they have a problem.

And, the problem gets bigger when Jack Ryan, a CIA Analyst, discovers that Middle Eastern terrorists are planning to set off a nuclear weapon somewhere in the USA in order to start a war between the USA and Russia.

Commentary

Ben Affleck is a pretty good director, but he is a weak actor, and it shows in this film (as well as others). Fortunately, the story has Morgan Freeman to boost the story.

Technical

Paramount is doing a fine job with their transfers these days, and the Jack Ryan series certainly deserves such treatment.

Extras

Perhaps Paramount realized that the fourth installment is not as good as the previous three, so they added more extras, including the making of, Creating Reality: The Visual Effects of The Sum of All Fears, and other things. Nevertheless, the extras section is still rather Spartan.

John Wayne's response to High Noon
written by Ovation , August 12, 2008

The film was Rio Bravo. A solid western (Dean Martin is surprisingly good in his role and a young Angie Dickenson is easy on the eyes).
