The first of Tom Clancy’s best-selling novels about CIA analyst Jack Ryan was brought to the screen by director John McTiernan (Die Hard). When Ryan (Alec Baldwin) learns that a state-of-the-art Soviet submarine piloted by Capt. Marko Ramius (Sean Connery) has gone rogue, he becomes convinced that the crew is trying to defect and embarks on a dangerous mission to avert World War III. The film earned three Oscar nominations, including Film Editing and Sound, and won for the sound effects editing of Cecelia Hall and George Watters II, who help make the film’s submarine settings feel uncannily real.
