Editorial Review:
Product Description: When the president of Russia suddenly dies and is succeeded by a man about whom little is known, tension increases as old fears ignite new paranoia. Director of Central Intelligence Bill Cabot (Freeman) recruits a young analyst from the Russia desk, Jack Ryan (Affleck), to supply insight and advice. Then the unthinkable happens: the capital of Chechnya is leveled by a nuclear bomb. America is quick to blame the Russians and mistrust escalates despite Ryan's certainty that other players are at work. He is right. Terrorists bent on provoking open war between the two nations are moving behind the scenes to manufacture and escalate a conflict. When they successfully detonate a second bomb outside Baltimore during the Super Bowl, the world is pushed inexorably towards war...unless Ryan can supply the needed proof to stem the tide of disaster in time.
Amazon.com: It's not easy replacing Harrison Ford as a beloved screen hero, but Ben Affleck brings fresh vitality to The Sum of All Fears, reviving Paramount's Tom Clancy franchise in the role Ford made famous. As CIA agent Jack Ryan, Affleck is a rookie in the covert ranks, unraveling a plot that lures Russian and American superpowers into a nuclear standoff, while a neofascist faction turns most of Baltimore into an atomic wasteland and holds the world in the grip of a terrorist nightmare. Affleck combines sharp intelligence with a new-guy's perspective, while a senior agent (Morgan Freeman) passes the torch of back-channel authority. The result is one of the best Clancy films to date, ably helmed by Phil Alden Robinson (whose comic thriller Sneakers was sorely underrated) with a stellar supporting cast, and adapted with abundant humor, humanity, and thrills by Donnie Brasco screenwriter Paul Attanasio and cowriter Daniel Pyne. Even the typically reticent Clancy would approve. --Jeff Shannon

I very regrettably asked my girlfriend to watch this movie with me.
This movie consistently boggles the mind, but not in a good way. You'll continuously refer to these questions listed below:
1. What's happening?
2. Who's that?
3. Where's this at?
and near the end..
4. What's in the friggin box?
5. What the..... ?
Everything is very anticlimactic, uninspired, and the story was unorganized and senseless in a lot of ... Read More

I never understood the hate for Sum of All Fears. It's not a super intelligent drama, or an inspiring story of someone losing and finding themselves amidst the horrors of nuclear winter-but it doesn't try to be. Sum of All Fears is-as the box describes it-an action-packed thrill ride, and it succeeds damn well at doing that.
Serving as a reboot for the Jack Ryan franchise, Sum of All Fears stars Ben Affleck as Jack, and Morgan Freeman as CIA director William Cabot. Right from the first ... Read More

Tom Clancy knows how to make vivid and realistic stories, because he walked in the halls of power and really understands about politics, the military and secret services. "The sum of all fears" is no exception, and shows how a determined partie with the right connections can begin a series of events that leads to a war with dire consequences. This film, although changing lots of plot, character and faction elements, keeps the main substance of the novel: Fear will tear us apart.

I was very happy with Amazon and it's partner as to the speed and quality of how everything went smoothly. I received the DVD in a timely manner and was pleased at the price for the entire experience.

The Sum of All Fears takes place in the past when Jack Ryan is a young CIA analyst, getting his first taste of national intelligence and meeting high level people in the government. This movie has lots of action and some good humor between Affleck and Morgan Freeman, showing how Admiral Greer dies toward the end. The part where the American aircraft carrier gets attacked is great (along with the Russian fighters getting blown up). They threw in some romance and spy intrigue to the mix as well. Definitely ...
