We ascend to persicope depth for a conversation about 'The Hunt For Red October', John McTiernan's adaptation of Tom Clancy's debut Jack Ryan novel about a CIA analyst tasked with deciphering the intentions of a rogue Soviet submarine commander in the waning years of the Cold War.
We discuss the pitch-perfect performances of Sean Connery, Alec Baldwin, & a formidble supporting cast, the striking Caravaggio-esque imagery of submarine interiors as lensed by veteran cinematographer Jan de Bont, and the unusually nuanced perspectives on Cold War tensions as a result of their imminent end.
