    Tom Clancy has been the real mover and shaker author of the mid-80s and dropped his first hot seller The Red October in 1984, the first sight of the iconic Jack Ryan. Over the years he marketed his military science and Spy thrillers and soon established an enormous entertainment empire. Stretching over dozens of books, TV shows and video games like Rainbow Six, the work of Tom Clancy became a drug on the market even after his demise in 2013. The character of Jack Ryan still relives in the books and has gained a great zeal just like the ones in Bourne & James Bond movies.

    Jack Ryan was last seen on an Amazon Prime Original TV Series that was released in 2018. The show starred John Krasinski who played the role of a CIA Analyst who becomes a part of some perilous assignments. The show magnetized a large number of new viewers and brought them into the same boat as already existing admirers. To highlight the top-rated work of Tom Clancy we are listing 5 of the best Jack Ryan movies that spotlight the character of Jack Ryan. This list is entirely exclusive of any series or any other Tom Clancy adaptations, just his work on the big screen.


    Here are our top 5 picks of the best Jack Ryan / Tom Clancy movies of all time.

He digs deeper into the case to find out who the culprit may be and what’s happened.

    Runtime: 2h 4min

The new Jack Ryan was nobody but the blue-eyed boy Ben Affleck and another new face, in addition, to Morgan Freeman who acted as CIA Director William Cobat. The plot of the movie was a bit horrific: a young CIA analyst Jack Ryan is forced to uncover a conspiracy led by Neo Nazis about the detonation of nukes on US soil by the Russians as the nuclear scientists went on missing, The movie is based on Tom CLancy’s novel and keeps on the edge of your seats with some breathtaking twists and a rather happy romantic ending.
