...Soviet nuclear sub heading for the US. The Government think he is going to attack but Jack Ryan (Alec Baldwin) thinks he wants to defect. Jack has a couple of hours to prove his theory before the US Government find the 'Red October' and blow it up. Sean Connery is brilliant as usual but I found The Hunt for Red October very slow to start with, although it got exciting towards the end. *Patriot Games* Patriot Games had me hooked from start to finish. ...
...then a race to stop the terrorist whose brother he killed from killing his family. Non-stop action and suspense. *Clear and Present Danger* Clear and Present Danger had me hooked from start to finish (although slightly complicated storyline).

...with the Nazis. The Temple of Doom in my opinion is the more light hearted of the three, but still manages some serious action sequences. I like the addition of Sean Connery as Indiana's father. It is good to watch as the story unfolds the two men who have had past differences learn to respect and even like each other. Fans will recognise the music any where. Composed by John Williams. One thing when I was young when I first saw Raiders, I wanted ... Read review

The matrix is set on the idea that the real world is a hoax, a dream world, a made up system designed by machines which man created in the first place. the real world is full ...
