The Hunt for Red October	comment	The Hunt for Red October is a 1990 military thriller film adapting the Tom Clancy novel of the same name from the Jack Ryan series, directed by John McTiernan. It stars Sean Connery and Alec Baldwin. It is the first film in the original Jack Ryan film trilogy (the second of which is 1992's Patriot Games, and the third is 1994's Clear and Present Danger). Basil Poledouris composed the soundtrack.It's a Cold War tale of the fictional "Typhoon" class missile submarine Krasniy Oktyabr ("Red October"). The sub has an experimental magnetohydrodynamic propulsion system (more easily referred to as Caterpillar Drive), which allows it to run more quietly than any other ship at sea; effectively making it nigh-invisible to (passive) SONAR detection. On its first deployment, its Lithuanian commander, Captain Marko Ramius, murders his political officer, taking his set of keys for the Red October's nuclear missiles. Conspiring with his senior officers, Ramius notifies his crew that they will be testing the ship by evading both the U.S. and Soviet navies to reach the eastern coast of the United States...Not desiring to lose their sub or the secret of the Caterpillar Drive, the Soviets send their surface and attack-sub fleets after it, an amount of activity that's suspicious to the other side.The Americans must find the sub before it is destroyed, assuming that CIA analyst Jack Ryan is right that the officers plan to defect — as opposed to just unilaterally launching their missiles...The Typhoon-class submarine is real, and the largest submarine in the world. The submarine in the story, though, is quite considerably different to its real-life counterpart, to the point where they can't really be considered the same vessel, mainly because of its fictional "silent" propulsion system and due to a lot of details of the Typhoons having been classified at the time. On the other hand, the film maintains Plausible Deniability by specifically stating it to be a prototype variant of its class, and at least alludes to future Soviet political instability as a good reason why they never got around to producing more.

The Hunt for Red October / int_121b3725	comment	Age Lift: In the novel, Mancuso is said to be in his mid-thirties, young for a command of this level; Scott Glenn, however, was 48 at the time the movie was made. Ramius was born in 1941 and so was at most in his mid-forties when the story begins; Sean Connery was pushing sixty when he played the character. Ramius says he's been at sea for "40 years," so his character is probably closer to 60 as well.

When confronted by the Dallas, Captain Ramius loads and floods his torpedo tubes, but doesn't open the doors. Mancuso, who does have his own torpedo doors open, explains to Ryan that Ramius is prepared to return fire if Mancuso tries to sink him, but "he's a very cool customer" and he's signaling that he won't fire first.

Ramius knew the limitations of the torpedo, but also knew the captain of the other sub would remove the distance timers on a second shot to avoid that mistake—since Ramius himself trained the other captain.

The Hunt for Red October / int_33d5b7f2	comment	Adapted Out: The U.S. President doesn't appear at all, with his interactions with Ryan and the Soviet Ambassador in the book given to the film's version of National Security Advisor Jeffrey Pelt. The sideplot with the Lira-class submarine E.S. Politovskiy suffering a fatal reactor accident is removed entirely, while the US Navy scuttling the USS Ethan Allen to cover up their acquisition of the Red October is replaced with the Konovalov being blown up by its own torpedo in the corresponding scene, rather than Ramius ramming her with the Red October in a later altercation. In the novel the Royal Navy had HMS Invincible's battle group involved in the operations to counter the Russians, and Invincible was the ship that sent the Morse signals to the Red October. The Brits are left out of the film entirely: Captain Mancuso's line about his Morse being rusty described the British signals officer in the book. In the novel, Red October is escorted to safety by two American submarines, USS Dallas and USS Pogy. Pogy isn't included in the film.

When aboard the Enterprise, Ryan gets an update about the Soviet Navy's movements with the help of an on-board computer system using then-current 80's vector graphics showing the position of the boat, the Soviet surface ships and planes coming from the east chasing her at a speed far too high for their sonar to be of any use, and the Soviet subs that had taken position just off of all of the US East Coast ports. Ryan figures out it's a "hounds to the hunters" strategy — drive Ramius with the chasing Soviet surface fleet into the sights of the waiting subs.

He is shown early in the movie being entirely unable to sleep on airplanes (before the helo crash is brought up in the film). Later, he has to ride in the back of a small airplane getting bounced around in order to get to the Enterprise. And then, he has to ride in a helicopter in order to link up with the Dallas. Even once he's on board the sub, he seems to find its initial dive disquieting. However, by the end of the film, due to fatigue and being forced to confront this fear so many times the final scene shows him sleeping peacefully in broad daylight on his plane journey home.

In reality, this was only the case of very early Soviet nuclear submarines. With a SLBM (submarine launched ballistic missile) range of 8000kms and the distance between Murmansk and Washington DC being roughly below 7000km, Typhoons were able to deploy their long-range nuclear missiles for such attack while moored at their docks.

Putin also makes an offhand reference during his conversation with Ramius, with no further hint as to relevance. It's only in the book that we find out that Ramius's wife died during an operation by a drunken surgeon, who escaped punishment because his father was a high Party official. This led Ramius (in the book) to decide that "the State must be made to pay".

The Soviets later claim this in order to get the Americans to sink Red October, so dramatic tension is then created by Ryan trying to convince Mancuso that Ramius is genuine.

Later the Russian sub pursuing Red October is destroyed by its own torpedo. In Ramius' conversation with Putin, the ship's political officer, he demands to know if there are any spies hidden aboard the vessel after he finds Putin going through his personal effects. Putin brushes him off and tells him that he sincerely doesn't know if the KGB or GRU have placed any agents onboard. Later, the caterpillar drive is sabotaged, allowing a Soviet torpedo bomber to zero in on Red October's position, confirming that Ramius' suspicions at the start were indeed correct. Says Ramius about the saboteur, "If he can get to the caterpillar, he can get to someplace more vital." As it happens, that includes the launch bay for the thermonuclear missiles.

The third goes around the battle zone for quite a while, narrowly missing the Dallas and the Red October before acting-captain Mancuso sends it into the Konovalov in a game of chicken.

Later on, when Ryan hears about the Dallas detecting a "magma displacement" (which would qualify as a seismic anomaly), he realizes that it's the Red October. (Jonesy, of course, has already come to a similar conclusion that the "magma displacement" isn't actually a magma displacement, but a new kind of Russian sub.)

Tupolev's second officer, when he finds out that their torpedo is now going to hit them instead, doesn't freak out, but simply points out to his captain how much of an arse he had been. Played straight when the Red October is overflown by "a low altitude multi-engine turboprop." When it launches a torpedo, the officers know that they were overflown by a Soviet Tupolev Tu-142 and not an American Lockheed P-3 Orion. Ryan's expression when he finds out that Red October was spotted by a satellite leaving the Polijarny Inlet, two days after he found out of its existence. Ramius has one during the canyon run, when a loud clang shudders through the entire submarine. During the "torpedo chase through the canyon" sequence, Kamarov has an unspoken one when he fumbles his marker as he's marking them moving off the plotted course through the canyon and counting the seconds past their regular point of turning. The face of the watchstander on the Red October's bridge absolutely screams this when the radiation alarms go off. And of course, just about everybody at the meeting of the Joints Chiefs of Staff shits their pants when it becomes apparent that almost the entire Soviet navy has been launched to go after Red October, as they (correctly) realize the Russians are frantically trying to sink her and assume the worst. (They believe the implication is that Ramius has gone insane and is planning to fire his payload on the US, rather than the true reason, that he intends to defect.) Admiral Padorin has an unspoken one when he reads Ramius' letter, learning of his plan to defect. Ryan has one when he shows up at the White House to attend a situational briefing with Admiral Greer; when he's informed that he's giving the briefing, Ryan just about freezes in his tracks.

Additionally, the original novel has been confirmed to have been loosely based on an incident - briefly mentioned in the novel - involving the Soviet frigate Storozhevoy, in which the political officer led a mutiny in the hope of sparking a second communist revolution.

He correctly deduces that by getting close to the torpedoes shortly after they've fired, he can catch them while their safeties are still on and ram them with minimal damage. All the while calmly asking Ryan what kind of books he writes.

The Hunt for Red October / int_da3043c5	comment	Fake Ultimate Hero: Zig-Zagged. Or rather 'Fake Ultimate Weapon'. For all the talk that is made of it, the Caterpillar drive isn't actually all that 'silent'. The Red October is initially able to the evade the Dallas, but they still track them down after a couple of days. It actually worked for quite some time, and exactly for the reasons the designers intended; automated sonar detection systems could pick up the sounds made by a Caterpillar, but couldn't tell it was a submarine("Doubt our sonar would even pick it up. If it did, it would sound like... whales humping or some kind of seismic anomaly. Anything but a submarine."). Even the Dallas's sonar analysis software initially thought the Red October was "magma displacement". It was only when a particularly skilled American sonar operator recorded the sound of the drive and played it back at 10x speed that he realized it was man-made. And even though Jonsey convinced Captain Mancuso of this, the captain still couldn't convince anyone higher of this and Enterprise Command thought he was chasing earthquakes.

The Hunt for Red October / int_dca70c44	type	Reasonable Authority Figure
The Hunt for Red October / int_dca70c44	comment	Reasonable Authority Figure: Ramius allows one of his officers to criticize him and accuse him of egotism in front of the others before calmly explaining that he has his reasons for doing what he did (writing a letter to Admiral Padorin admitting their plan to defect). Jeffrey Pelt is a man who keeps his "options open", and after Ryan's outburst at the briefing and disrespect towards a patronizing general he is still willing to listen to Ryan's opinion and he authorizes Ryan's mission to investigate the possibility that Ramius intends to defect. He is rewarded with a pricelessly patronizing moment with the Soviet ambassador at the end of the film, chastising him for "losing" another submarine. Admiral Painter also qualifies; while he's skeptical of Ryan's claim about Ramius, he asks reasonable questions (unlike Captain Davenport, who's outright dismissive) — one of which eventually leads to Ryan's "Eureka!" Moment — and he even gives Ryan a chance to rest up. Davenport, for that matter, becomes one once Painter tells him about Ryan's accident. Even if he doesn't exactly buy Ryan's theory, he at least softens up toward Ryan himself. Zigzagged with Mancuso. On the one hand, when Jonesy presents him with evidence about Red October and her stealth drive and how to track her, he willingly goes along with it; but when Ryan tries to prove to him Ramius is defecting, Mancuso is pretty dismissive, and even threatens to put Ryan on guard until the Crazy Ivan. The latter may be justified by the fact (a) Jonesy is a long-standing crew member whom he knows and trusts, while he's only just met Ryan, and (b) Mancuso had just received a message claiming Ramius intends to fire on the U.S., and protecting his country is more important to him than indulging Ryan's seemingly crazy idea.

The Hunt for Red October / int_e652089c	type	Artistic License â€“ Ships
The Hunt for Red October / int_e652089c	comment	Artistic License â€“ Ships: When USS Dallas first detects Red October, it's stated that they have six Typhoon-class subs in the database, so they designate the new contact as "Typhoon 7". While seven Typhoon-class subs were constructed, only three had been launched by the time the movie takes place. Red October should've been designated as "Typhoon 4". Despite being central to the plot of both the film and the book it was adapted from, the "Caterpillar drive" wouldn't create an undetectable sub, as the reactor itself is a significant source of noise from nuclear submarines. The quietest subs in the real world are diesel-electric subs running on (very limited range) batteries for this reason. During one scene a torpedo is dropped by a helicopter on a submarine, but then remotely detonated by the helicopter's mothership prior to impact in order to fake the destruction of the sub. This is in reality impossible. The torpedo depicted in the movie is a US Mk 46, and once you have put one in the waterâ€”assuming it's working correctlyâ€”it will search for and then chase after its target until it either detonates or runs out of fuel. Lira-class Soviet attack submarines (better known by their NATO reporting name Alfa-class) weren't given individual names, just alphanumerical designations: K-64, K-123, etc. The film inherited this error from the book. The real USS Reuben James (FFG-47) plays itself during the climax of the film, but wasn't commissioned until two years after the film's stated date.

The Hunt for Red October / int_fc225bec	type	Artistic License – Physics
The Hunt for Red October / int_fc225bec	comment	Artistic License â€“ Physics: The magnetohydrodynamic (using magnets to accelerate a fluid mass like a jet engine) drive described as the "Caterpillar drive" is actually a real-world concept with a few prototypes tested, but runs into multiple issues in how the Red October uses it: Water (fresh or salt) has a weak magnetic dipole, and isn't easily influenced by magnets. To propel something the size of a Typhoon-class submarine up to nearly 30 knots speed, you'd probably need magnets powerful enough to make the sub implode. (Magnetic sensors used in sub detection would also have no problem picking it up) Real-world magnetohydrodynamic drives that were tested not only have an efficiency issue (see above), they generate highly turbulent (and subsequently noisy) exhaust flows as a result, which would make the Red October noisier than if it'd used their regular propellers. The magnets are cooled by a cryogenic plant as mentioned more than once in the filmâ€”this would also be another source of noise a sonar could readily pick up.
