Based on Tom Clancy's bestseller, directed by John McTiernan (Die Hard) and starring Sean Connery (Entrapment) and Alec Baldwin (Pearl Harbor), THE HUNT FOR RED OCTOBER (1990) sweats with high-tech anxiety and the tension of men who hold Doomsday in their hands. A new technologically-superior Soviet nuclear sub, the Red October, is heading for the U.S. coast under the command of Captain Marko Ramius (Connery). The American government thinks Ramius is planning to attack. A lone CIA analyst (Baldwin) has a different idea: he thinks Ramius is planning to defect, but he has only a few hours to find him and prove it - because the entire Russian naval and air commands are trying to find him, too. The hunt is on!

Harrison Ford stars as Jack Ryan in PATRIOT GAMES (1992), an explosive thriller based on Tom Clancy's international best-seller. His days as an intelligence agent behind him, former CIA analyst Jack Ryan has traveled to London to vacation with his wife (Anne Archer, Fatal Attraction) and child (Thora Birch, American Beauty). Meeting his family outside of Buckingham Palace, Ryan is caught in the middle of a terrorist attack on Lord Holmes (James Fox, The Russia House), a member of the Royal Family. Ryan helps to thwart Holmes' assailants and becomes a local hero. But Ryan's courageous act marks him as a target in the sights of the terrorist (Sean Bean, Ronin) whose brother he killed. Now Ryan must return to action for the most vital assignment of his life: to save his family. The film also stars James Earl Jones (The Hunt For Red October) as CIA Admiral James Greer.

In CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER (1994), Harrison Ford (K-19: The Widowmaker) returns as intrepid CIA agent Jack Ryan. When his mentor, Admiral Greer (James Earl Jones), becomes gravely ill, Ryan is appointed acting CIA Deputy Director of Intelligence. His first assignment: investigate the murder of one of the President's friends, a prominent U.S. businessman with secret ties to Colombian drug cartels. Unbeknownst to Ryan, the CIA has already dispatched a deadly field operative (Willem Dafoe, Spider-Man) to lead a paramilitary force against the Colombian drug lords. Caught in the crossfire, Ryan takes matters into his own hands, risking his career and life for the only cause he still believes in -- the truth.

In THE SUM OF ALL FEARS (2002), CIA analyst Jack Ryan (Ben Affleck, Changing Lanes) specializes in Russian political history. When an unknown figure named Nemerov (Ciaran Hinds, Road to Perdition) unexpectedly becomes the president of Russia, CIA chief William Cabot (Morgan Freeman, Along Came A Spider) looks to Ryan for advice. While Ryan believes Nemerov to be a man of peace, the U.S. President (James Cromwell, Space Cowboys) and his advisers do not agree. So, when one Russian nuclear warhead is discovered missing, and Nemerov is the only suspect, world tension escalates, as Ryan must single-handedly uncover who is behind the conspiracy in order to avert World War III.

The three new Special Collector's Edition DVDs (THE HUNT FOR RED OCTOBER, PATRIOT GAMES and CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER) are priced individually with a suggested retail price of (S.R.P.) of $19.99 in the U.S. and C$22.99 in Canada. THE JACK RYAN SPECIAL EDITION DVD COLLECTION box set has no S.R.P. but is expected to retail at approximately $70-80 (S.R.P.) in the U.S. and approximately C$100 in Canada. All four DVDs are closed-captioned for the hearing-impaired.
