Ford continues an excellent franchise
Having liked this franchise since it’s beginning (Alec Baldwin as Jack Ryan in Hunt for Red October), it was great when Ford took over. Not that Baldwin was not a great Jack - he was - but the next two films are equally outstanding. Same franchise, but new Jack, yet somehow they all hit a high bar. While my wife prefers the previous, Patriot Games, my favorite of the two is Clear and Present Danger (4K UHD). When Amazon had a deal on it, we grabbed them both for our streaming library. I just completed Clear and Present Danger and once again, loved it. Ford as Ryan has a maturity to him. He’s settled, more settled into his life back at CIA, and with his boss (played by James Earl Jones) there to turn to, Ryan is great at taking on the bad guys. Unfortunately for him, this film sees the bad guys all around him in Washington DC and his boss eventually.... well, you’ll have to watch to find out. Ford takes it on and comes away with the save for the win. But not before a few trips to South America and run ins with the President, his staff, and a major drug cartel. The action is high, his family supports him (though not on the front lines of this fight), and Ryan of course gets into trouble being shot at. In the end, this Ryan is a great film.

Attention U.S. Politicians: Never Leave One Single Soldier Behind.
I saw this in the theater back when it came out in the mid-90s. While I was in high school back then, this movie still remains among my top 3 favorite movies of all time.I don't know of a more-realistic action movie not based on a true story. This movie is expansive. The acting is superb, most notibly by Harrison Ford, James Earl Jones, and Miguel Sandoval. The diverse selection of scenes was excellent, as was the filming of the action scenes.I liked the many inclusions of realistic aspects of the U.S. military. The conversations in every scene are like what you'd expect in everyday life, very realistic touches there. This isn't the standard Hollywood movie fare filled with cliche statements and dialog different than that in anything other than entertainment; this film is instead a very-realistic, energetic, suspenseful, and beautifully-filmed portrayal of consequenses that can and do occur all too often to members of our armed forces when politicians don't listen to them and try to run wars and military operations from their air-conditioned offices back home.If you find the themes of this movie insightful, then I very strongly recommend you also check out the nonfiction book, "Confessions of an Economic Hit Man". I seriously doubt that most Americans are aware of the past political/military operations described in that book, e.g. the type depicted in this movie.It's critically important that every American know that U.S. operations like these have not only occurred, and unfortunately still do occur, but that they also have done so with significantly more frequency than you realized.For the protections of our troops, and for the protection of innocent foreign civilians caught in the crossfire, it is important that as many Americans as possible become more deeply versed in international affairs, so that we can be knowledgeable enough to hold our elected leaders accountable when they attempt to send ANY number of American troops, no matter how small the quantity of individuals, into harm's way. A soldier should never be considered expendible.

Harrison Ford as Jack Ryan
I did have a four pack with Harrison Ford movies and this particular disc got damaged and was my favorite of the four.Patriot games would be part 1 of clear and present danger part 2.You'd be fine if you didn't see the first one, but if you wanted continuity I would.The story lines are totally different but Jack, Ryan a CIA Agent and his family move through these two stories.

One of Harrison Ford's Best Films!
Phillip Noyce’s 1994 film “Clear and Present Danger” adapts Tom Clancy’s novel of the same title and is the third film in the Jack Ryan series after “The Hunt for Red October” and “Patriot Games.” It is also the second film to feature Harrison Ford as Jack Ryan. In this film, Ryan becomes CIA Acting Deputy Director (Intelligence) only to discover a secret war against a drug cartel in Columbia. As he investigates, he learns that the secret war involves not only his fellow members of the CIA, but goes all the way to the President’s office. Alongside Ford, James Earl Jones makes his third appearance as Admiral James Greer, Willem Dafoe appears as John Clark, Joaquim de Almeida as Colonel Félix Cortez, and Donald Moffat appears as President Bennett. In maintaining continuity with the previous film, Anne Archer and Thora Birch reprise their roles as Cathy Ryan and Sally Ryan. Like its predecessors, “Clear and Present Danger” is a smart thriller with both action and commentary on political issues that continue to seem relevant all these years after its 1994 release. This was also the final film set in the original cinematic chronology of the Jack Ryan series and, as such, makes a good third act in that de facto trilogy.

That even at the top of power can be corruptible!
The misuse of the military by the commander in chief is brought out in the open when it engages its wrath on Columbian drug cartels. When an operative from a reputed cartel offers the government what he thinks the government wants, the government sacrifices it's special forces from which Dr. Ryan goes to Columbia and rescues, and later reports to Congress on the president's misdeeds.
