Jack Ryan is in the wrong place at the right time and saves the Prince and Princess of the UK. A group of IRA (Irish Republican Army) attempt to kill the two royal highnesses and fail thanks to Jack. While Jack does so he kills the little brother of the leader of the Group. So this man tries to return the favor and attempts to kill his pregnant wife and daughter. Now that it is personal Jack joins the CIA and dose his best to find the man who tried to kill his wife. Great movie, great acting, I give it four stars.
