The Sum of All Fears

The Sum of All Fears is a 2002 American spy thriller film directed by Phil Alden Robinson, based on Tom Clancy's 1991 novel of the same name. The film, which is set in the Jack Ryan franchise, is a reboot taking place in 2002. Jack Ryan is portrayed as a younger character by Ben Affleck, in comparison with the previous films: The Hunt for Red October (1990) starring Alec Baldwin as Jack Ryan and the sequels, Patriot Games (1992) and Clear and Present Danger (1994), both starring Harrison Ford in the role. In the film, an Austrian Neo-Nazi (Alan Bates) attempts to trigger a nuclear war between the United States and Russia by setting off a nuclear device in Baltimore, simultaneously with a rogue Russian officer launching an attack on an American aircraft carrier in his desire to establish a European fascist superstate.
