Patriot Games	comment	Patriot Games is a 1992 film starring Harrison Ford, Sean Bean, Samuel L. Jackson, James Earl Jones, Anne Archer, and Richard Harris, directed by Phillip Noyce and adapted from the novel of the same name by Tom Clancy. The second film in the original Jack Ryan trilogy, it is the sequel to 1990's The Hunt for Red October and was followed by a third film, Clear and Present Danger, two years later. Notably, this installment recasts every major role from the first film (with the exception of James Earl Jones, who returns as Vice Admiral Greer), with the follow-up retaining these changes.As in the novel, Ryan is on a working vacation in London, researching for an upcoming book of his when not playing "tourist" with his family, when he gets involved in The Troubles by interfering with an attack on the British royal family by an IRA splinter group, which then seeks revenge on him for the interference in the kidnapping of Lord Holmes, a member of the royal family.

It is mentioned in later books that he was sentenced to death for his crimes and executed by the state of Maine. Dennis Cooley dies much earlier in the movie than in the book, and under very different circumstances. Ned Clark is simply arrested by the guards in the novel before he can get to Ryan, while here he is shot dead after attacking Jack. Inspector Highland survived being shot by Miller in the novel.

Patriot Games / int_5ca80293	comment	Pragmatic Villainy: While on their way to murder Jack's wife and daughter, Sean and his driver stop short and wait for a group of schoolgirls to cross the street rather than run them down to pursue their target. Were they to run them down, they'd likely damage their van and attract too much attention while their target, in a much faster car (equipped with a mobile phone), notices and escapes. While O'Donnell and a few of the members of his cell grant Miller some resources and leeway for exacting revenge against Ryan for Patrick's death, they warn him not to get too obsessed with Ryan, as it interferes with their plans to kidnap Lord Holmes, and the greater political goal of their terrorist acts in general. When his assassination attempts against Ryan and his family fail and he still wants more revenge, they chide him for disregarding their earlier warning and order him back to work on their kidnapping project. As the IRA realizes Miller's stirring up Ryan against them has become a major liability to their cause, they sell out his splinter faction for being more trouble than it's worth. Plus he'd already killed one of the IRA's brigade commanders, who had sent men to kill him because of the dangers that his plan had for them. That alone would be enough for them to disown O'Donnell and sell him out.

In the book they are also Marxist-oriented, while this group is just a more extreme version of the IRA's ideology.

For this, they execute him with a bullet to the back of the head when they liberate Miller. Or, worse from the perspective of the IRA, he is an Irish Catholic who is nonetheless a Unionist and so for them the ultimate kind of traitor - even though Highland himself says he feels some of the rage they do he cannot stand terrorism and killing people.

Thus, he makes the effort to free Miller, his most Ax-Crazy operative. This backfires horribly on him when he interferes with Miller's Roaring Rampage of Revenge against Ryan, and is promptly killed for it. Same for Annette who also was heavily involved with the faction. Her attempt to avenge O'Donnell has her angrily pointing her gun at Miller yelling "You crazy bastard" rather than just shooting him right away. That gives him the window to kill her instantly too. Same with Holmes' traitorous secretary Watkins, who makes it possible for O'Donnell and Miller to ambush Ryan and Holmes at the former's home; he is found out and left to his comrades, and is mistakenly gunned down by Miller in his pursuit of Ryan.

Patriot Games / int_e663d3ef	comment	Only a Flesh Wound: Played straight. Ryan recovers from his gunshot wound to the shoulder wearing nothing but a sling on his arm. A notable difference from the book, which averts this trope.

Patriot Games / int_e9f517e1	type	Artistic License â€“ Geography
Patriot Games / int_e9f517e1	comment	Artistic License â€“ Geography: Sean Miller is transferred from a prison in London to one on the Isle of Wight. In later dialogue, it is stated that the ambush happened in Kent. If you're going from London to the Isle of Wight via Kent, you are going in completely the wrong direction. The tube train leaving Aldwych (then a minor spur in the centre of London, now closed) and "stopping at Oxford Circus, Piccadilly Circus, Leicester Square, Green Park, Acton Town, Hammersmith, Marble Arch, Hounslow East, South Ealing and Hyde Park Corner" before terminating at Hatton Cross. This route bends London in interesting ways.

Patriot Games / int_ee7a60e9	comment	One-Steve Limit: Averted. Sean Miller's brother's name is Patrick. But there's also Paddy O'Neil, the IRA Bagman. "Paddy" is short for "Patrick". It's a quite common name of Irishmen, up to the point that "Paddy" is itself slang for an Irish person, and thus not surprising.

Jack watches as some of the CIA personnel callously comment on the battle as if they were watching a football game. As the battle draws to an end, Jack dwells on the infra-red image of a wounded defender crawling slowly away as the British soldiers make their withdrawal.
