Tom Clancy’s literary character Jack Ryan has appeared in several film and television projects over the years and has been played by such actors as Alec Baldwin, Harrison Ford, Ben Affleck, Chris Pine, and John Krasinski.
The fourth and final season of the popular Prime Video series ‘Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan,’ starring Krasinski, is set to premiere on June 30th.
In honor of the final season of the series, which introduces Michael Peña as Domingo “Ding” Chavez, who could receive a spin-off of his own in the future, ECinema News is counting down the best Jack Ryan movies of all time.
For this list, we are only focusing on the movies, not the TV series, but we are including ‘Tom Clancy’s Without Remorse,’ which doesn’t feature Ryan, but does star Michael B. Jordan as John Clark/John Kelly, a character first played by Willem Dafoe in ‘Clear and Present Danger,’ and later by Liev Schreiber in ‘The Sum of All Fears.’
Let’s begin!
When the president of Russia suddenly dies, a man whose politics are virtually unknown succeeds him. The change in political leaders sparks paranoia among American CIA officials, so CIA director Bill Cabot (Morgan Freeman) recruits a young analyst (Ben Affleck) to supply insight and advice on the situation. Then the unthinkable happens: a nuclear bomb explodes in a U.S. city, and America is quick to blame the Russians.

Torn between personal honor and loyalty to his country, Kelly must fight his enemies without remorse if he hopes to avert disaster and reveal the powerful figures behind the conspiracy.

A new technologically-superior Soviet nuclear sub, the Red October, is heading for the U.S. coast under the command of Captain Marko Ramius (Sean Connery). The American government thinks Ramius is planning to attack. A lone CIA analyst (Alec Baldwin) 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 him, too. The hunt is on!
“Invisible. Silent. Stolen.”
