The Hunt for Red October, the 1990 film that marked the feature debut of Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan, is blowing up on iTunes’ PVOD charts, jumping all the way to the eighth spot in the U.S. In its rise, the classic Cold War film has also leapfrogged some heavyweights like Rami Malek’s The Amateur, 28 Days Later, and the recently-released Bring Her Back from Danny and Michael Philippou. Directed by John McTiernan, it was powered by the talents of James Bond legend Sean Connery in a complex role as a rogue Soviet Navy captain, while Alec Baldwin, as Ryan, was tasked with deducing his motives.
