Hunt For Red October / K-19: Widowmaker and 12 similar items

Brand new factory sealed 2-disc set is Out Of Print and no longer being manufactured. HUNT for RED OCTOBER is based on Tom Clancy's blockbuster novel, a high-tech Cold War yarn about a soviet nuclear sub (commanded by Sean Connery) turning rogue and heading straight for U.S. waters, as both the U.S. and the U.S.S.R. try to stop it. Complicated potboiler that succeeds breathlessly due to the cast and John McTiernan's tommy-gun direction. This is the one that introduces the recurring character of CIA analyst Jack Ryan (Alec Baldwin). K-19 WIDOWMAKER: Cold War tensions abound in this aptly claustrophobic submarine suspenser involving the Soviet Union's first nuclear ballistic sub, which suffers a reactor malfunction during a test voyage in the North Atlantic. Harrison Ford plays the tough Russian captain, who takes command from the more-popular Liam Neeson, and must deal with rebellion in the ranks in order to save his sub and crew, and prevent an all out World War. Peter Sarsgaard is the panicky, inexperienced reactor officer who's every nuke sub captain's worse nightmare. Loosely based on a military incident that happened in 1961 but wasn't publicly revealed until the 1990s. Director Kathyrn Bigelow ('Hurt Locker') shot on a set built to scale, with parts salavged from an old diesel sub. Strong performances by the lead actors too.
