When the president of Russia suddenly dies, a man whose politics are virtually unknown succeeds him.

There's nothing like watching people reading from screens as a riveting suspenseful ending to a film (please see sarcasm). Alec Baldwin continues to be the best Jack Ryan. I never bought into the idea that Liev Schreiber as John Clark.

Show?
A nearly perfect thriller with one huge downside and absurdity in the form of an absolutely unbelievable part of the plot: a no-body in the form of a lowly CIA analyst cannot only convince a high-ranking US military person to let him communicate with the Russian president (during the midst of the beginning of a nuclear war between the USA and Russia nota bene (!)) , no, he can even convince the president to abort further nuclear attacks on the USA. Absolutely rubbish and I will never understand what director Phil Robinson and his colleagues where think when coming up with this particular aspect of the plot!

Some good some bad here. Improvements over the prior movies is that Harrison Ford is no longer Jack Ryan. He was at LEAST 15 years too old to be playing the part. Affleck was an improvement. Live Schreiber was so much better as John Clark than Willem DeFoe. 1000X. If you read the books you already know that. Some of the changes they make from the book do not make sense. Leaving out entire plot lines. I think Clancy just sold them a list of character names and said a nuke weapon got lost a long time ago and now it came home to blow up a football game.

The problem with this film in the 2020s is that the book it's loosely based on was already out-of-date when it was made. The Jack Ryan novels have not aged well; briefly put, the world-view projected is the post Cold War 'the USA (& particularly the CIA) has won, because the USSR has collapsed'. Not quite how it was turning out, even in the early 2000s. Then there are the many plot-holes, most visible in the scenes that take place in Baltimore; mobile signal post EMP, anyone?

They really messed up the Ryan movie franchise with this one.

I think this also is the movie that made me dislike Affleck. But that´s not the reason for the mess up. By choosing Affleck to play Ryan and since he´s obviously much younger than Harison Ford, they needed to place the story before More

At a quick glance - and judging from the mediocre 70% overall rating on here - this movie was not well received. However, I found it very enjoyable, even though a bit dated. (Of course, at my age, I'm getting to where I _prefer_ the "dated" movies as all the current stuff is mostly just tripe and re More

As a movie, it is OK, actually one of Afflec's better efforts. However, apparently the writer of the screenplay read a different book than I did, because "The Sum Of All Fears", the movie, had about 3 things in common with the book: The name, the main characters, and the fact that it involved nucle More

Let's see. Who else has 27,000 nukes for us to worry about?

The Sum of All Fears is directed by Phil Alden Robinson and adapted to screenplay by Paul Attanasio and Daniel Pyne from the novel of the same name written by Tom Clancy. It stars Ben Affleck, Morgan Freeman, James Cromwell, Ciaran Hin More
