Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })The Sum of All Fears is a 2002 movie adaptation of the novel of the same name by Tom Clancy.The basic plot centers around a rogue nuclear bomb being developed by a terrorist organization and detonated in an American city to incite mistrust between the United States and Russia to the point of open war. CIA analyst Jack Ryan and his network of friends on both sides rush to track down the actual group responsible before the nuclear option becomes real.Directed by Phil Alden Robinson, the movie stars Ben Affleck as Jack Ryan, with a supporting cast including Morgan Freeman, Bridget Moynahan, James Cromwell, Ciarán Hinds, and Liev Schreiber. It is notable for changing the villains from Arab terrorists to Neo-Nazis while forwarding the timeline to 2003. It also re-envisions Ryan as a young analyst in a form of Continuity Reboot/Prequel from the previous movies, and has him dealing with his first foray into the real inner workings of the CIA.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })

comment
Adaptational Heroism: President Fowler is nowhere near as unpleasant as his book counterpart. He still makes rash decisions, but they are based on logical reasons given to him by his advisers. In the book, Fowler ends up resigning from office after nearly nuking an innocent city for revenge, while here, he ends the crisis when given a chance and later enacts anti-nuclear weapons treaties with Russia.

Adaptation Distillation

comment
Adaptation Distillation: Very much so. Elizabeth Elliot and her romantic subplot with the President are nowhere to be found, no ground battle in Berlin or sinking of an American SSBN, Ryan is a rookie analyst rather than Deputy Director of the CIA, and more.

Action Duo: Jack Ryan and John Clark during the mission in Ukraine. The former is just a CIA analyst with no military training while the latter is the more badass-like guy.
