- When a terrorist faction plans to turn American against Russia by placing a nuclear weapon in a Baltimore, DCI William Cabot calls in CIA analyst Jack Ryan to figure out the plans behind this faction and prevent a total catastrophe occurs.
- CIA analyst Jack Ryan must stop the plans of a Neo Nazis faction that threatens to induce a catastrophic conflict between the United States and Russia's newly elected president by detonating a nuclear weapon at a football game in Baltimore.
- Frankly, if I was Tom Clancy, I wouldn't have let them put my name on this one. The Jack Ryan movie series had been a "must-see" up until now. After this, I'll probably wait for the video of the next movie to come out and then carefully evaluate it.<br/><br/>The storyline was shoddy, gutting the original book's premise and was in essence a bunch of irrelevant action scenes slapped together that didn't draw the audience in. I mean, they nuked Baltimore and then you never heard about it again! It's like, "oh well, they nuked it. On to the next scene". If the bomb hadn't gone off, the plot line wouldn't have been affected. It was just a plot device for FX value.<br/><br/>Ben Affleck had no presence on the screen. He was too young to play Ryan and it showed. He was simply there for the stud value, which didn't help the movie at all. James Cromwell was weak as President Fowler, and came off as an indecisive sewer-mouth. Morgan Freeman was passable (why did they kill him off?), but Liev Schreiber as John Clark deserves a big round of applause. He was the only actor with true presence in the movie.<br/><br/>I'd say that they should forget this movie as a failed experiment and bring Ford back for the next Ryan movie and let him play the role until he dies. "The Sum of All Fears" only does damage to Clancy's reputation and they should go back to what (and who) works.
- We all want to think that the world in which we live is safe and secure, that bad things only happen to the `other' guy and that evil-doers always get their just deserts. The reality of it, however, is that we all live in glass houses built on foundations anchored in the shifting sands of happenstance, and a `reality check,' courtesy of the entertainment medium of film is not a thing to be taken lightly, discounted or dismissed out-of-hand. `The Sum of All Fears,' directed by Phil Alden Robinson, is a cautionary tale that is thought provoking and all too valid, especially in the wake of 9/11. As a film, it may have some minor flaws and the story is certainly disconcerting, but in light of recent events in America, as well as around the world, it makes us aware of the importance of being ever vigilant, and it's important in that it reminds us of things that must not be forgotten lest they be repeated, just as a film like `Schindler's List' will forever be a kind of safeguard against another Holocaust. A single film may on it's own be just another brick in the wall, but if filmmakers persist, eventually that wall will perhaps become a kind of fortress that may help prevent a repetition of the blunders and crimes perpetrated throughout the history of the world. <br/><br/>The screenplay was adapted by Paul Attanasio and Daniel Pyne from the novel by Tom Clancy; the story is a proposition of what could happen if a nuclear bomb fell into the wrong hands, how the preeminent governments of the world would respond and what the outcome would mean to the average citizen living in the Ukraine or in Podunk, U.S.A. It's a hypothetical situation that, quite frankly, a few years ago would've been perceived by most as being as close to reality as `The Martian Chronicles.' But not anymore. Looking beyond the drama of the story and the way it's presented, the actual events depicted here are almost too close for comfort and will no doubt evoke a sense of denial in many viewers who still refuse to accept the state of the world as it is today. <br/><br/>The film itself is, of course, a big budget, Hollywood production-- which in not a BAD thing-- but as such the drama is a bit stiff and stilted at times, and the presentation by director Robinson lacks originality and imagination; too often we see exactly what we expect (when a member of the Russian cadre, for example, demurs to the cold reality of their plan and announces his withdrawal, we know that he's signed his own death warrant. Seeing him garroted by the silent, hulking henchman before he reaches the door is anticlimactic; it would have been entirely more effective had Robinson taken a page from David Lean's Book and left it up to the viewer's imagination). But the performances are to the last actor solid and convincing, and late in the film the story takes a decidedly unexpected turn that allows for a suspenseful climax; after a point you can speculate as to the final outcome, but you cannot know absolutely until the very end. As Confucius (or was it Yogi?) once said, It ain't over till it's over.<br/><br/>The real strength of the film, though, lies in the very honest depiction of the events and the way they play out, from the unimaginable success of the terrorists to the confusion, uncertainty and irresolution of those in power. Initially, the ease with which much of what happens is seemingly effected may evoke a reaction of disbelief and incredulity; but in retrospect, in reality this is more than likely exactly the way such things would happen. But we're conditioned by not only by what we've seen in other movies (James Bond ALWAYS saves the day, doesn't he?), but by what society tells us is so and by what we WANT to believe. Al-Qaida, however, is real; 9/11 is real. It's just not something we want to acknowledge, just as we do not want to believe that a handful of people control the destiny of the entire world, including a leader like this film's President Fowler (James Cromwell), who excels at waving to fans at a football game, talking tough and telling the people what they want to hear, but just may be clueless, ineffective and governed by personal agenda behind closed doors. Which is precisely what this film points out in terms that are at once subtle and overt.<br/><br/>As Jack Ryan, Ben Affleck gives an acceptable performance, and though he's convincing he lacks the intensity of his predecessor in the role, Harrison Ford, or even that of Alec Baldwin, who first created the character in 1990's `The Hunt for Red October.' Buy this is a younger Jack Ryan, new to the C.I.A. and not yet married, which may provoke some confusion in fans of this series, as on one hand this story predates `October,' and yet the events seem to reflect more recent incidents, subsequent to all that happened in the first three `Ryan' films. But taken as a separate entity, this film is contextually intact and stands on it's own; just be prepared to view it as an independent entry in the series with a value that supersedes any sequential necessity.<br/><br/>The most notable performances are turned in by Morgan Freeman (Cabot) Liev Schreiber (Clark), Philip Baker Hall (Defense Secretary Becker) and Ron Rifkin (Owens).<br/><br/>This is the kind of film that many viewers will subconsciously attempt to distance themselves from emotionally, and will take great delight in concentrating on minor technical flaws as it will enable them to sleep a little easier at night. But in the final analysis, `The Sum of All Fears' says something about who we are, `where' we are and the state of the world in which we live today; things we would probably rather not contemplate, but nevertheless, must.
- How the hell did Ben Affleck, 29, wind up replacing Harrison Ford, 59, as our hero? Who's next as Ryan -- Ozzy Osbourne's guppy son, Jack? Chronology hasn't been this royally fucked with since Memento.
- The President of Russia has just died of a heart attack, and a new President—Alexander Nemerov (<a href="/name/nm0001354/">Ciarán Hinds</a>), an unknown commodity—has been named. However, U.S. President Robert Fowler (<a href="/name/nm0000342/">James Cromwell</a>), his advisers, and various CIA officials fear that Nemerov is a political hardliner, so CIA director William Cabot (<a href="/name/nm0000151/">Morgan Freeman</a>) recruits young CIA historian Dr Jack Ryan (<a href="/name/nm0000255/">Ben Affleck</a>), who once wrote a paper on Nemerov, to supply his analysis and advice on the situation. U.S. suspicions about Nemerov are further supported when Grozny, the capital city of Chechnya, is hit by a chemical weapon and Nemerov claims responsibility (when, in reality, he has no idea who is responsible). When a nuclear bomb is suddenly detonated in a football stadium in Baltimore, no further proof is needed. As hostilities accelerate between the U.S. and Russia, Jack suspects that Nemerov didn't order the attacks and tries to find out what is really going on before SNAPCOUNT—the order to launch ICBMs at Russia—is completed. The Sum of All Fears is also a 1991 novel by American author Tom Clancy. It is the fifth novel in the Jack Ryan series, and the fourth of the Jack Ryan books to be made into movies, preceded by <a href="/title/tt0099810/">The Hunt for Red October (1990)</a> (1990), <a href="/title/tt0105112/">Patriot Games (1992)</a> (1992), and <a href="/title/tt0109444/">Clear and Present Danger (1994)</a> (1994), and <a href="/title/tt1205537/">Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit (2014)</a> (2014). <a href="/title/tt0499097/">Without Remorse</a> is currently in development without an expected release date. The screenplay for Sum of All Fears was written by American screenwriters Paul Attanasio and Daniel Pyne. Because he doesn't know who ordered the attack whether it was done by terrorists or a rogue group within his own army. Nevertheless, he explains to his close adviser, former KGB assassin Anatoli Grushkov (<a href="/name/nm0126250/">Michael Byrne</a>), it is "better to appear guilty than impotent." Spinnaker is Cabot's secure source inside the Kremlin. They exchange info with each other, keeping "the back channels open in hopes of staving off disaster." His identity is revealed at the end of the movie. Unable to speak to President Fowler, who is busy in the National Military Command Center (NMCC) ordering a strike on Russia, Jack uses the hotline to get the message to Nemerov that he knows the bomb that hit Baltimore was not Russian. The bomb was salvaged from a downed Israeli A-4 jet in 1973 and sold to a neofascist who then paid the three "missing" Russian scientists to activate it. The bomb was then hidden inside a cigarette machine and shipped to the U.S. where it was placed in the Baltimore Stadium and detonated in an attempt to set the U.S. and Russia at each others' throats. Jack asks Nemerov to stand down his forces as a show of good faith, which Grushkov supports. Consequently, Nemerov calls off the attack on the United States, and President Fowler follows suit, calling off the U.S. attack on Russia. With the crisis diverted, Jack heads over to Memorial Hospital to find Cathy (<a href="/name/nm0005256/">Bridget Moynahan</a>) unharmed. The participants in the conspiracy are assassinated: Olson (<a href="/name/nm0272173/">Colm Feore</a>) by John Clark (<a href="/name/nm0000630/">Liev Schreiber</a>), General Dubinin (<a href="/name/nm0493738/">Evgeniy Lazarev</a>) by Russian agents, and Dressler (<a href="/name/nm0000869/">Alan Bates</a>) by Grushkov. Fowler and Nemerov sign mutual nuclear disarmament agreements and address the public on the South Lawn of the White House while Jack and Cathy are picnicking near the National Mall. They are approached by Grushkov, who reveals his identity as Spinnaker and invites Jack to keep in touch with him, just as Bill Cabot used to do. In the final scene, Grushkov gives Cathy an engagement present, which astounds her because Jack only asked her to marry him that morning. Jack asks Grushkov how he could know, but Grushkov just shrugs his shoulders, smiles, and walks away. The nuclear bomb was intended to repulse the invading Syrian Army which was making threatening gains into Israeli-held territory. The Skyhawk is destroyed by a surface-to-air missile (SAM), and the bomb crashes into the desert where it is buried by sand over the years. In the novel, four Israeli Skyhawks were each armed with a nuclear bomb. When the Syrian Army advance is halted in the Golan Heights, the necessity for the strike is averted. But chaos on the airfield, which involved a damaged F-4E Phantom igniting leaking fuel upon landing, result in a nuclear bomb being accidentally left on the fourth Skyhawk during the rearming process. All four Skyhawks are lost in an attack on a Syrian SAM battery. The unarmed nuclear bomb broke loose from the fourth Skyhawk as it disintegrated in mid-air, burying itself meters from the home of a Druze farmer. It is obtained by PFLP (Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine) terrorists years later. It is never explained in the film. In the novel, the Skyhawk was lost within Syrian territory east of the Purple Line (now a United Nations buffer zone), close to the Syrian-Lebanese border. Furthermore, Israel did not know there was a nuclear bomb missing until three days after the Skyhawk was lost over the Golan Heights. But it was not until the day after the Yom Kippur War ended that they were able to reconstruct the details of its loss. Not exactly. Though Ben Affleck does try to emulate Alec Baldwin and Harrison Ford in some parts, this film is largely treated as a separate continuity from the preceding films. Evidence of this is the fact that the technology used is obviously present-day (such as the use of e-mail and cell phones), while The Hunt for Red October took place during the Reagan administration. It's also clearly set in a post-Cold War world. This also explains the apparent contradiction of having Jack Ryan meet John Clark for the first time in both this film and Clear and Present Danger. Finally, Jack and Catherine are in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship in this film, while they were married in the other three films. Clancy heavily criticised the film, mainly for its technical flaws. In the DVD commentary with director Phil Alden Robinson, Clancy introduced himself as "the guy who wrote the book they ignored." He slammed Robinson's work throughout the commentary. a5c7b9f00b
