Short description

A new technologically-superior Soviet nuclear sub, the Red October, is heading for the U.S. coast under the command of Captain Marko Ramius. The American government thinks Ramius is planning to attack. Lone CIA analyst Jack Ryan has a different idea: he thinks Ramius is planning to defect, but he has only a few hours to find him and prove it - because the entire Russian naval and air commands are trying to find Ramius, too. The hunt is on!

What's left behind the scenes

The shot of the torpedo launch from the 'V.K. Konovalov' was used in the opening sequence of the 'Star Trek: Enterprise' episodes about the Mirror Universe.
During filming, several actors playing crew members of the USS Dallas took a tour of a real submarine. To better prepare for the role of the USS Dallas commander, Scott Glenn took on the 'command' of a real submarine and gave orders to the actual crew members.
Apparently, $20,000 from the production budget was spent on Sean Connery's magnificent hair in this film, seemingly as a key plot detail.
The teddy bear that Jack Ryan (Alec Baldwin) takes with him could be seen at the beginning of 'Die Hard.' Director John McTiernan thus contextually links the two films, inviting the audience to draw their own parallels.
Kevin Costner was initially chosen for the role of Jack Ryan, and Klaus Maria Brandauer for the role of Marko Ramius.
Almost all the Russians in the film are played by actors from different countries: Sean Connery is Scottish, Sam Neill is a New Zealander, Tim Curry is English, Stellan Skarsgård is Swedish, Sven-Ole Thorsen is Danish, and Ivan G'Vera is Czech.
Daniel Davis plays the captain of the military vessel USS Enterprise. The spacecraft is also featured in the 1987 film "Star Trek: The Next Generation," in which Davis has a guest role.
