    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      The attack on members of the Royal Family at the beginning of the film was inspired by a similar true-life attempt to kidnap Princess Anne on March 20, 1974. She was in her car when a man shot her guard and driver. She was subsequently helped by a passerby who attacked the criminal and saved her.
    • Goofs
      While it is true that the average British police officer does not carry a firearm, there is no way that a convicted high-profile IRA terrorist would be escorted without an armed guard.
    • Quotes
      • Jack Ryan: I want to know where Sean Miller and Kevin O'Donnell are.
      • Paddy O'Neil: [scoffs] Let me try and understand this. You want me to sell out my fellow lrishmen to you? Is that why you came down here? You don't understand me at all.
      • Jack Ryan: Oh, l think l do.
      • Paddy O'Neil: Look, I don't give a damn what they've done, but the day that l sell out my countrymen will be the day that I put a bullet through my own head.
      • Jack Ryan: That's it, then, huh?
      • Paddy O'Neil: That's it. You know, on second thought, maybe I won't have a drink with you
      • Jack Ryan: Okay, then I'll go home.
      • Paddy O'Neil: Have a safe trip.
      • Jack Ryan: I'll go home and call the TV stations, give them what they want: let them take their cameras into my daughter's hospital room, put it on the evening news.
      • [getting in Paddy's face]
      • Jack Ryan: I don't give a shit whether you did it or not, and neither will anyone else. But I will put such a stranglehold on your gun money, you'll be out in the streets throwing rocks! I will *fucking* destroy you! I will make it my mission in life!
