I was already a fan of the Clancy novel and of all the Jack Ryan movies, so when the movie was released, I remember going to the theaters on opening weekend to see it. The late James Earl Jones, who played Admiral James Greer for the third and final time here, has a smaller role in this than he did in The Hunt for Red October and Patriot Games, but his scenes are so heartfelt and, honestly, funny at times, that it made me miss the acting great even more. We don’t know if the next installment of the Ryanverse will be on the 2026 movie schedule, but whenever it is, I’ll be there at the theater, just like I was 30 years ago when Clear and Present Danger came out.
