It generally stays true to the idea of the book, if not the letter. The first 3 were out of order, since Cronilogically, it was Patriot Games, Hunt for Red October, Clear & Present Danger, Sum of All Fears. In Hunt for Red October, A british Harrier pilot asks Ryan if he is the same Jack Ryan that was the famous one, (Saving the life of Prince Charles & Diana) Jack is dressed in a Navy Uniform, he was a former Marine in real life. I would really suggest the books, I love them.
: Yahoo's summary said;
: "The fourth film starring Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan character, this time Ben Affleck stars in the role made famous by Harrison Ford."
: Question;
: Is this movie going to make sense to me, considering I haven't seen the first three installments?

: Thx. Gonna make some popcorn, hope some of you have an answer for me.
