The Soviet Union has developed a nearly silent submarine that is a possible first strike weapon against the U.S.
The Soviet captain put in charge of this sub decides to defect to the U.S. with a few "hand picked" officers with the same feelings as him. They also decide to bring the "gift" of this new sub along with them. Problem is... A Soviet missle sub just doesn't walk into a U.S port. Enter Jack Ryan, CIA analyst who figures out what the Soviets sub crew are up to. The rest is an action packed movie about how they work together to bring about this end game.

A Russian Sub Skipper tries to defect to the US but the Soviet Navy has started a massive mission to find the sub, the Red October, on the cover story as a rescue mission, but the Americans don't belive it. The Hunt for Red October is one of Clancy's best books and I would recomend it to anyone who has intrest in the Military.
