Clear and Present Danger (Special Collector's Edition)

Amazon.com

The third installment in the cinematic incarnation of Tom Clancy's CIA analyst Jack Ryan and the second starring Harrison Ford, this follow-up to Patriot Games is a more complex, rewarding, and bolder film than its predecessor. Ford returns as Ryan, this time embroiled in a failed White House bid to wipe out a Colombian drug cartel and cover up the mess. The script, by Clancy and John Milius (Red Dawn), has an air of true adventure about it as Ryan places himself in harm's way to extract covert soldiers abandoned in a Latin American jungle. There are a couple of remarkable set pieces expertly handled by Patriot Games director Phillip Noyce, especially a shocking scene involving an ambush on Ryan's car in an alley. The supporting cast is superb, including Willem Dafoe as the soldiers' leader, Henry Czerny as Ryan's enemy at the CIA, Joaquim de Almeida as a smooth-talking villain, Ann Magnuson as an unwitting confederate in international crime, and James Earl Jones as Ryan's dying boss. The DVD release has a widescreen presentation, theatrical trailer, closed captioning, optional French soundtrack, and optional Spanish subtitles. --Tom Keogh

Description

In CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER, Harrison Ford returns as intrepid CIA agent Jack Ryan. When his mentor, Admiral Greer (Jones), becomes gravely ill, Ryan is appointed acting CIA Deputy Director of Intelligence. His first assignment: investigate the murder of one of the President's friends, a prominent U.S. businessman with secret ties to Colombian drug cartels. Unbeknownst to Ryan, the CIA has already dispatched a deadly field operative (Dafoe) to lead a paramilitary force against the Colombian drug lords. Caught in the crossfire, Ryan takes matters into his own hands, risking his career and life for the only cause he still believes in -- the truth.

Thinly-veiled Iran-Contra revisionism.......2007-09-03

Harrison Ford mumbles his way through a thinly-veiled revisionist re-writing of the Iran-Contra scandal. Ask yourself: what can you really expect from a Oliver North-sympathizing libertarian like Tom Clancy and a gun-toting, NRA zealot like co-writer John Milius?

Probably would have been slightly better if the producers had kept Alec Baldwin in the Jack Ryan role, rather than dumping Baldwin for Ford, who has acted without a pulse since sometime in the mid-1980s.

Great for people who like explosions.

Amazing Movie!.......2007-07-11

This is one of my favorite movies of all time. Harrison Ford as Jack Ryan is as good to me as Harrison Ford as Indiana Jones. The scene in which Ryan's envoy is ambushed in Colombia by RPG's is one of my all time fav's. Great movie for any fan of the books.

Harrison Ford.......2007-04-20

is the best Jack Ryan. This movie keeps you going and doesn't stop until you reach the credit lines.

Fantastic Sequel To Patriot Games.......2007-04-13

In "Clear and Present Danger," Harrison Ford once again plays Jack Ryan, the intrepid hero of Tom Clancy's novels, who was first played in films by Alec Baldwin in "The Hunt For Red October," and then by Ford in "Patriot Games."

In this film, Ford ends up caught up in a web of danger and intrigue involving the President, the death of one of the President's closest friends, Colombian drug cartels, and CIA black-ops agents. As usual, Ryan finds himself battling against all sides to get to the truth and trying to stay alive while doing it. Ford is superb as usual as Ryan, Willem Dafoe is excellent as the leader of the black ops group, and Joaquin de Almeida plays a properly sinister and nasty villain.

This is one of the best thrillers made by Hollywood in a long time, and should please Clancy and non-Clancy fans alike.

Movie ends where story begins..........2007-04-01

Intrepid Jack Ryan (Harison Ford)is about to testify before a SENATE oversight Committee licking its chops in anticipation of IMPEACHMENT Proceedings against the President(Donald Moffat).CLEAR & PRESENT DANGER brings viewers to this critical moment then stops.Ironically,this is where real C&PD,with all hell to break loose,is.Viewers may not initially sympathize with the President,his Kingsmen and all Special OPX soldiers sent-out to do the dirty work against Drug Lord Terrorists, but in our Yuppie-drug cosseting culture there is cause for pause where Clear & Present Danger really lies.

Anyone who followed this past weeks voting by the entire Democratic Party in Congress to cut-off funds to troops;prescribe dates of surrender-withdrawal to Terrorist forces at home and abroad;(plus load tons of tax extortion Pork/dreck on what amount to the biggest Copperhead bill since the Civil War)needs to suppress his self-satisfaction at this typical Hollywood fantasy. Give me overt stuff like James Bond over the pseudo-reality that pretends that good guys are really the bad guys;the bad guys are "Family men";and the hero must bring down our own Government to finesse the rights of the Yuppie class to suck-up cocaine by the ton. CLEAR & PRESENT DANGER,indeed.

Great movies.......2007-06-27

I really enjoyed watching the Jack Ryan movies in this collection while I could. Now when I place them in my DVD player I get a message like "Title 8 Prohibited from Playing at the present time". I believe my DVD laser lens may be dirty and I'll try cleaning it today. I sure hope I get to watch these movies again some day soon.

The complete deal with extras.......2007-06-13

If you are a fan of the the Jack Ryan series then this is the set to get starting with the one that started the franchise to the climatic prequel that to this point concludes the series. The price is right too conidering what trilogy and movie sets go for these days, and you don't feel empty handed due to the fact that each film is a special edition so if you are a movie freak and enjoy all of the behind the scenes stuff then you get to enjoy all of that as well. Overall it's the best choice for the price in looking for the films featuring Jack Ryan.

Jack Ryan Special Edition collection.......2007-06-08

I love thrillers & to have all of them in one collection is great!

Jack Ryan movies.......2007-02-14

All four movies were the greatest. I believe I like Harrison Ford as Jack Ryan the best and then Ben Affleck but he's a great second.

I have been looking to find all of these movies, the box set was perfect!

The Hunt for Red October
Before Harrison Ford assumed the mantle of playing Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan hero in Patriot Games, Alec Baldwin took a swing at the character in this John McTiernan film and hit one to the fence. If less instantly sympathetic than Ford, Baldwin is in some respects more interesting and nuanced as Ryan, and drawing comparisons between both actors' performances can make for some interesting postmovie discussion. That aside, The Hunt for Red October stands alone as a uniquely exciting adventure with a fantastic costar: Sean Connery as a Russian nuclear submarine captain attempting to defect to the West on his ship. Ryan must figure out his true motives for approaching the U.S. McTiernan (Predator, Die Hard) made an exceptionally handsome movie here with action sequences that really do take one's breath away. --Tom Keogh

Patriot Games
Let's see--he's been Han Solo in three films and Indiana Jones in three more. So why shouldn't Harrison Ford take on a new continuing character in Tom Clancy's CIA analyst Jack Ryan? In this film, directed by Phillip Noyce, Ford picked up the baton when Alec Baldwin, who played Ryan in The Hunt for Red October, opted for a Broadway role instead. In this film, Ryan and his family are on vacation when Ryan saves a member of the British royal family from attack by Irish terrorists. The next thing he knows, the Ryan clan has been targeted by the same terrorists, who invade his Maryland home. The film can't shed all of Clancy's lumbering prose, or his techno-dweeb fascination with spy satellites and the like. But no one is better than Ford at righteous heroism--and Sean Bean makes a suitably snakey villain. --Marshall Fine

Clear and Present Danger
The third installment in the cinematic incarnation of Tom Clancy's CIA analyst Jack Ryan and the second starring Harrison Ford, this follow-up to Patriot Games is a more complex, rewarding, and bolder film than its predecessor. Ford returns as Ryan, this time embroiled in a failed White House bid to wipe out a Colombian drug cartel and cover up the mess.

This is a GREAT price for a GREAT set of movies. The Hunt is one of my all time favorites and Patriot Games...Harrison Ford...need I say more? Clear and Present Danger is not my favorite of the three, but still an exciting Harrison Ford movie. If you like action and plot without too much gore and violence, these movies are for you.

Bad price.......2002-09-06

You can by them separate for almost 20 dollars less. so just do that.

A great edition to your collection.......2002-08-26

This boxed set contains three of the greatest movies based on the CIA. But the boxed set lacks special features that make buying DVD's great. But a great addition to your DVD collection because you do not get the same picture and sound quality from a VHS.

Great Box Set.......2002-07-23

This is a great box set. If you like Tom Clancy, then you will like these movies. It is also a great deal to buy them all together, much cheaper then the local store.

In short, you can't go wrong.

The Hunt for Red October.......2002-06-11

This was the first Jack Ryan picture I had seen. From the beginning to the end of this movie, I was enthralled. It was believable, well acted and plausable. The principal actors and all lessor parts were beautifully intertwined to give us a plausable,exciting,intelligent story of intrigue done with a masterful flare.
This is a DVD I have seen at least 7 times and funny as it may seem, I always find something I haven't picked up on. It's a must have and SEE for those intrigued with human nature and the powers of goodness and evil!

Harrison Rocks!.......2002-06-02

Harrison Ford is excellent in Patriot Games and Clear and Present Danger. The only thing I don't like about Hunt for Red October is Alec Baldwin. Harrison should have played Jack Ryan in that too. Alec Baldwin STINKS!
