Jack Ryan (Harrison Ford), his wife Cathy (Anne Archer) and their daughter Sally (Thora
Birch) are swept into the deadliest game of our time — International terrorism — in
Paramount’s “Patriot Games.”
Harrison Ford makes Games fun
By Ingrid Youngquist
Staff Reporter
As a family man and an anti
terrorism hero, Jack Ryan (Harrison
Ford) generates the right mixture
of rage and compassion to make
“Patriot Games” possibly one of
the most down-to-earth action/ad
venture movies of 1992.
“Patriot Games” is a sequel to
Tom Clancy’s “The Hunt For Red
October” and the first of three film’s
to star Harrison Ford as Clancy’s
famous protagonist, CIA analyst
Jack Ryan.
Unlike “The Hunt For Red Oc
tober,” which starred Alec Baldwin
as Ryan, this film shows Ryan as
an older man who has left the CIA
to build a better relationship with
his wife (Anne Archer) and daugh
ter (Thora Birch).
The action begins when Ryan
and his family are vacationing in
London and happen to stumble into a
terrorist attack on a member of British
royalty and his family.
Ryan becomes enraged by the at
tack and jumps in to stop it, killing one
young terrorist and sending the
terrorist’s brother, Sean Miller (Sean
Bean) on a mission for revenge.
In his efforts to end the terrorist
threat, Ryan is forced to go back to his
former job with the CIA to uncover
the terrorists and eliminate them. And
by getting involved, Ryan makes his
family the next target of this radical
terrorist group.
While his heroic actions create a
large threat for his family, they also
eam him the title of knight and a
friendship with Lord Holmes (James
Fox), who Ryan saved earlier.
It is this tie that sends the terrorist
group chasing Ryan and his family
back to the United States, culminat
ing in a rather bloody battle at the
Ryan home.
While Ryan and his family are
believable, the terrorists fail to live
up to expectations.
It takes the terrorists far too
long to accomplish their mission,
and their political motives are
hardly identified.
Still, they do provide the movie
with plenty of action, including a
well-orchestrated chase scene.
This movie may not rank as
high on the action-thriller scale as
some of the other movies in its
class released this summer, but it
does have one redeeming quality.
For once the hero is a family
man, an ordinary man who is forced
to do the extraordinary to save his
family.
It is Harrison Ford’s sincerity
that makes this movie different
and definitely worth seeing.
“Patriot Games” is now show
ing at the Douglas 3 and Edgewood
3 Theaters.
