The Hunt for Red October is the 1990 feature film adaptation of the bestselling novel of the same name by Tom Clancy and was the first to feature Clancy's signature character, CIA analyst Jack Ryan. Directed by John McTiernan and set during the time of the Cold War, the military thriller follows Ryan (Alec Baldwin) as he attempts to ascertain the true intentions of Captain Marko Ramius (Sean Connery), who has disappeared with a top secret Soviet stealth submarine designated Red October. Three more Jack Ryan feature film adaptations would follow: Patriot Games, Clear and Present Danger and The Sum of All Fears. Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit is an upcoming feature film based on the Jack Ryan character and starring Chris Pine as Ryan.
The following weapons were used in the film The Hunt for Red October:
WARNING! THIS PAGE CONTAINS SPOILERS!
Colt Mk IV Series 70
The Colt Mk IV Series 70 pistol chambered in 9x19mm appears several times towards the end of the film. Seen first in the hands of Commander Bart Mancuso (Scott Glenn) and Sonar Technician 2nd Class Ronald "Jonsey" Jones (Courtney Vance). CDR Mancuso later gives his Colt to the C.O. of the Red October, Captain 1st Rank Marko Ramius (Sean Connery) to defend himself with, and issues one to Dr. Jack Ryan (Alec Baldwin) as well, who uses it in a confrontation with the GRU sleeper agent Igor Loginov (Tomas Arana). It is interesting to note that although the Colt Mancuso gives Ryan is in the classic leather holster Mancuso's is in the M12 Universal Military holster which was not available at the time the movie was set. Also, in the original Tom Clancy novel, Ryan uses a Browning Hi-Power.
Makarov PM
The Makarov PM pistol is wielded by Cook's Assistant Igor Loginov (Tomas Arana) who is, in fact, a GRU sleeper agent planted aboard the Red October. He ambushes the protagonists while they're attempting to evade the Soviet sub Konovalov, his attack fatally wounding Cpt. 2nd Rank Vasily Borodin (Sam Neill) and also wounding Captain 1st Rank Marko Ramius (Sean Connery) when he and Ryan pursue him.
Remington 870
During the battle with the Konovalov, sailors aboard the American frigate Reuben James (in reality the USS Wadsworth; the Reuben James had not been commissioned at the time the movie was filmed) can be seen holding Remington 870 shotguns while guarding the rescued crew of the Red October.
M14 Rifle
Near the end of the film, an M14 rifle can be seen very briefly in the hands of a U.S. Navy sailor on board the American frigate Reuben James when the Konovalov appears.
Mossberg 500
As Ryan visits the Patuxent River Navy Shipyard, a U.S. military guard is seen with a Mossberg 500 shotgun slung over his shoulder.
Norinco Type 56
A Soviet Naval Infantryman in the Red October's conn can be seen armed with a Norinco Type 56 rifle (note the hooded front sight) standing in for a Russian AK-47 rifle.
Phalanx CIWS
The Phalanx CIWS (Close In Weapons System) is glimpsed aboard the USS Reuben James.
