I saw this again a few days ago on TV and I'm reviewing that. Gates McFadden from Star Trek: The Next Generation was in this very briefly. I'd never noticed her before playing Ryan's wife.
I also hardly recognized a very young looking Sam Neill who everyone ends up wishing that he had seen Montana. Tim Curry looks very weird and quite young himself. Connery plays a Sub Captain who has recently lost his wife and was the trainer for all the Soviet sub fleet Captains. He is given the job of taking the newest addition to the Soviet Fleet, The Red October. It has a prototype caterpillar drive that is totally silent.
He is wanting to defect. He kills the ships KGB officer & never tells the crew apart from his carefully chosen senior officers that he intends to defect. James Earl Jones plays a senior CIA officer who is "never there & never did anything". The ship is guided by Jack Ryan & the Captain of the Dallas Submarine. This is an excellent film with good twists & the "destruction" scene is brilliant.
