Patriot Games sees Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan return to the screen fresh from the hit movie Hunt for Red October. This time Ryan, who is played by Harrison Ford in this film, breaks up an assassination attempt on a member of the British Royal family whilst on vacation in London.

The Irish terrorist group behind the attack don't take kindly to this and fuelled by Sean Miller's thirst for revenge they target Ryan and his family.

This is a good quality action/thriller type of film and should appeal to most people. The basic plot at time is original but there are a few flaws. The basic plot follows Jack Ryan (Harrison Ford) a CIA agent. Whilst on holiday he prevents an assassination attempt upon the royal family a kills one of the assassins, he happens to be the brother of a nasty Irishman (Sean Bean) who takes up a vendetta against Ryan and his family.

The overall plot is good and as you’d ... Read the complete review

Patriot Games is the 1992 film starring Harrison FGord based on the novel by Tom Clancy. It is a direct sequel to Hunt For Red October in terms of stories, but can easily be watched on its own without having seen the previous film, which starred Alec Baldwin in the role of Jack Ryan, here played by Harrison Ford. Ryan is a retired CIA agent on holiday with his family in Ireland. As bad luck would have it, he interferes with an IRA attack, and becomes the target himself. However, CIA expert Ryan has other ideas, and the last thing any terrorists want to be doing is targeting him. Ford gives a good rendition of Jack Ryan. He was to follow it up with ...
