Based on the Tom Clancy novel of the same name, this film tells the story of the Red October, a new Russian Typhoon-class nuclear submarine under the command of Marko Ramius.

This film offers a good cast of talented people well directed to deliver a captivating story on screen. It dragged a bit a times, but, overall, this is a very good thriller.
