58: The Hunt for Red October (1990)
Directed by John McTiernan and based on Tom Clancy’s 1984 novel of the same name The Hunt for Red October stars Sean Connery as Captain Marko Ramius, Alec Baldwin as CIA analyst Jack Ryan, and features a stellar supporting cast, including Scott Glenn, James Earl Jones, and Sam Neill.
Set in 1984, the story follows Captain Ramius, a highly respected Soviet submarine commander, who takes command of the Red October, a new Typhoon-class submarine equipped with a revolutionary "caterpillar drive" that renders it nearly silent. Instead of following orders, Ramius goes rogue, intending to defect to the United States. However, the Soviets claim he is a madman planning to launch nuclear war against America, leading the U.S. Navy to hunt him down.
CIA analyst Jack Ryan, the only one who believes Ramius is defecting rather than attacking, must convince the U.S. military before an all-out confrontation erupts. As both American and Soviet forces pursue Red October, Ryan races against time to make contact with Ramius and bring him in safely.
