I think the active sonar pinging and it's gradual increase in volume and tempo has to be one of the best tension-inducing devices used in film. It's so much more visceral than a dot on a screen or someone just saying something is coming. It's in your face as the audience, you can hear it coming, hunting you, closing the distance. It produces anxiety.
If you want to hear real active sonar pinging as it is heard and analyzed by sonar men today head over to "sub brief" for a lesson in sonar technique that will leave you stunned.
Ramius was in the zone here.... calculating the torpedoes range/pings versus his boat's speed while keeping in mind the turn before the undersea mountain needed to fool it. The choir singing seems to signify his years of knowledge that cant simply be taught, only learned with years of experience. Even his most faithful XO was worried.
No over-the-top fight scenes. No outrageous special effects. Hell, it's not even rated PG-13. And yet this movie is *still* one of the best of its genre.
@@itanaderinto1781it would be PG-13 today. Nothing gets rated G anymore and kids movies are all PG. The rating creep is ridiculous. On the other hand, movies that should be R like all those idiotic low-budget horror movies are PG-13 too.
This movie does not have one bad or wasted scene. It almost makes me cry how perfect this movie is. It’s been my favorite movie since I was a child. I’m 42 now. RIP Tom Clancy and Sean Connery.

the most notirious was a passing mention to the magnetic detector subs and antisubs units (ASW frigates, LAMPS helos, etc) use .. it detects subs by detecting magnetic anomalies that signal a big metalic object nearby (thats why most modern subs are build with as much non-magnetic metal as posible.. even stuff like freezers or sinks). Aparently the disclosure of such systems didnt came until early 90s ..and both the book and later the movie did some passing comment wich directly referenced the system and that brought attention of some US security analists towards Clancy that was the 80s bear in mind.. its not like now where you can get literally tons and tons of informarion anywhere (the hard part is detecting fake , biased or missinformed info) .. back then there was nothing much save the Janes books and simular stuff..usually very expensive and filtered
I think it’s actually MORE tense with just audio. The pinging getting faster, the officers counting the seconds. If you’ve never seen the movie, there’s even suspense when the torpedo explodes because you can’t tell if they’ve been hit or not.

To this day Hunt for Red is in my top 5 of all-time. Pinnacle espionage-thriller. Very solid adaption of Clancy’s book. Which in itself is very rare. Sean C did such a fantastic job. 9.3 outta 10. This scene alone is superb.
I would say that whomever was the casting director(s) made some pretty solid choices all around, especially the venerable James Earl Jones as the unknown Admiral, if not the Chair of the Joint Chiefs ...
This scene really showed why Ramius was the premier submarine captain entrusted with USSR's most prized weapon of war. Instinct built on experience. But credits also to his XO Borodin, while the other officers nerves are breaking he still trusted his captain.
@@chrismc410of course, but so was Ramius. Sure, he was confident in his own abilities, but even a genius captain has to rely on his fallible crew. The point about the character is his essential humanity, and it would be inhuman to be unworried.
And don’t forget, a Typhoon handles like a pig. This is the equivalent of Han Solo driving what is essentially a space truck while outrunning Imperial fighters.
at 1:04...I absolutely love the concentration on ramius...doing the count in his head knowing the speed and rate of turn to basically do a sharp right handbrake turn on a sub that size I love the torpedo pings getting louder and faster as it gets closer...such a brilliant tension builder ..class film...book is even better.
The way Kamarov lost his grip on his marker was a nice way to make the audience shudder. He's truly scared because they are veering far off the mapped position in the canyons and are literally heading blind into a wall!

This movie was so far ahead of it's time it's mindblowing to think about. Great acting by a star-studded cast, all led by the great Sean Connery. May he forever rest in peace.
If they were really shooting at us… if the movie was really ahead of its time we’d have realized it by now… but we don’t. The civilian population is more concerned with the NBA playoffs and other nonsense. I’m not here to say we’re all dumb but if you look around… no one is awake.
Jan de Bont’s cinematography is gorgeous, especially in the _Red October_ control room sequences. It’s not afraid of static closeups and lets the sound build the tension. But there is a graceful fluidity, too, like when it floats over the consoles. This whole movie is distinguished by the polished contributions of everyone involved.
I've read the book of this many many times over the years... absolutely fantastic book... the film is amazing aswell... this scene is fantastic tension builder...the shot of ramius at 1:04 doing the torpedo count in his head and then ordering the hard right turn is exactly like ramius from the book he's taking in the speed of the sub the actual turn rate of the sub the turn at the neptune massive and the time to the torpedo impact..the absolute best russian sub skipper....class acting from connery.
"but was wondering why everyone on the red October was in their dress blues..." Details details. I'm glad he wasn't offended that we made them look stupid or like robots, or anything else needlessly insulting. That being said, the Russians will nuke us the 1st chance they get.
A P3 pilot (I was Ops on a tail FF) were whispering to each other laughing. If water were really that clear our ASW jobs would have probably not existed...
It's a filming convention to delineate characters for the audience. Same reason why some characters or situations in various films have different color lighting or even musical motifs.
To be fair; it was the maiden voyage of a revolutionary refit for one of the Red Banner Fleet's 'flagship' missile subs; you'd wanna have a little extra pride imbued by the dress uniforms. I agree they probably would've 'dressed down' before this point; no journalists to take photo ops (even the Pol Off is...'unavailable'), but maybe Raimius is just pushing them too hard - not giving them time off to change (or stop and think...and maybe wonder about these little loose ends dangling around...)
This movie still sends me chills. Man, no CGI or whatsoever. And of course, the acting from everyone ( including Tim Curry, Sam Neil.... etc ) is so solid.
They were all like, "All our lives our in your hands, and unless you pull off something crazy, those lives are seconds away from ending." Well, Ramius did pull it off, and they got to live to see another day.
Except Victor (the officer he relieved) continue to stay on deck even though he was ordered to leave. He was the most pessimistic and rebellious one yet strange why Ramius included him in the mission.
@jcpenny3606 he probably was the one that had a cousin in America. Who could get him a job at a carpet cleaning business in Bridgeport. "I literally hate your face. .... but can you cousin really, Really hook this up?" - Ramius
@Inigo Bantok no they don't. For them to get Bathymetric information(if sub sonars were able to collect such info back then) they'd have to go active on the sonar, telling everyone where they are.
I love the names of the underwater landmarks we got to see the Neptune Massif and Thor's Twins and the Laurentian Abyssal in this movie that was fascinating and wonderful detail.
Keep in mind that the defectors (Ramius, etc) knew it was an armed torpedo, and so they had to give the illusion of a potential collision to explain the pressure impact. Ramius made a brilliant decision to use WWII-era sub tactics to avoid the torpedo and then explain away the explosion with the illusion that they bumped the undersea formation. It worked, for the most part.
Luv this scene, Kool under fire, calm and collected, so much going through his head and coming out smelling like a rose, awesome shot when he's putting the phone to his ear obviously checking for damage, then looking over the crews faces to see if anyone has any doubt in his abilities, top notch movie, more tea anyone
That look at 2:05- Ramius knew his XO was about to say something that would restore the crews shaken confidence. The XO still trusts the Captain, and the crew will stay in line.
@@Restilia_ch Depending on the submarine/Class ... Don't quote me, since it has been far too long since I have read up on SSBNs, but pretty sure the American _Ohio_ Class has twin shafts, one nested inside the other, with twin screws, one behind the other. But given the _Typhoon_ is almost 1/3rd -1/2 displacement weight, if not dry weight, greaterof even the biggest American SSBN, then having two large screws, set that far apart, would be needed just to push it through the water, nevermind at flank speed ... in many ways, it was -_-the-_- boat for Ramius, as -- iirc -- only the best Captains of his rank, would have been in command of them ...
@@Restilia_ch can't they via reversing the direction on the prop or reverse flow on one of the nozzles for those vessles that use a pump-jet, much the same as you can on a atmospheric jet engine?
@@nigelft Ohio-class and most US submarine classes Skipjack-class and newer all are single screw. I don't think the newer submarines use screws/propellers at all. They use a pump-jet of some kind. With moving parts, a literal jet engine for water.
@@chrismc410 If you put the one prop you have into reverse, then you're just going backwards. Need at least two to spin in place. Kind of like how a tank can do it, but a car cannot, because of separate drive lines.
This scene is nerve wrecking especially to the officers who are defecting along with Ramius. This submarine scene is second to the depth charges scene in Das Boot. That ping sound might be the last sound they will hear. In that depth and pressure, death will happen so fast that they won't feel any pain at all.
What I like most is the valve, strategically placed in the command room, with nothig connected to it. Just a perfect item to relieve tension after some life-threateningn incident. Those ship designers ...
Great Scene .....but you cut out one of the best parts ...where the captain looks at his crew... and to see in there eyes ...no words are exchanged but , absolute trust and faith in their commander ....based on what the captain just did....
Yes he was calculating everything in his head and YEARS of experience went into his actions....and, it was almost as if he was listening to the very spirit of the sea whispering to him.
The torpedo will keep on locking-on the sub if the sub turns too early. The only way to cut loose the torpedo is by making the turn the last second. This is not only a great movie scene but also battle reality.
The USS Dallas con set was pretty accurate (more than 90%) .. real Typhoon class subs bridge looks pretty much like a wider and bigger Los Angeles class bridge..
In an interview with the director, they talk about this design choice. The director felt the audience would have a hard time distinguishing between the different submarines (Russian and American) in different cutaway shots, so they decided the American sub would be the most "true to life " interior and they took creative liberties with the Russian one.
IM so mad at the navigator hes so preoccupied with the sea cliff hes forgetting the torpedo.The reason the captain went over the normal turn was because he knew that the closer he got to the cliff the more his propeller sounds would echo off the rocks giving him the chance he needed to turn hard and confuse the torpedo about where it target actually was. Collision was simple, he knew that their was a fair chance that even a slight mis step could not only get him killed by a torpedo but head on rammed into a sea cliff. it was a all or nothing tactic and everyone in Control seeme to know that except the stupid navigation officer who had the Literal damn map so he could see it :/
I thought it was more that the submarine was traveling at such a high speed that a sudden and violent change in course would almost create like a current or rush in the water same type of noise scenario where in essence the torpedo is confused similar to a counter measure and also the torpedo wouldn't have time to adjust as it hits the rock formation.
Alexis Hood Interesting. I assumed turning so close to the wall would not give the torpedo room to maneuver and it would run straight into the wall. Which it did.
Yep. Torpedo guidance would have had to turn about to reacquire the target. Torpedos aren't given maps of the terrain; only the censors and algorithm needed to calculate the target and pursue until lack of fuel for propulsion or detonation. :)
I think the active sonar pinging and it's gradual increase in volume and tempo has to be one of the best tension-inducing devices used in film. It's so much more visceral than a dot on a screen or someone just saying something is coming. It's in your face as the audience, you can hear it coming, hunting you, closing the distance.

Rather like the motion trackers from 'Aliens': as the pinging gets louder & louder the bugs get closer & closer...
Hey guys, there's a red-thingy moving toward the green-thingy. I think we're the green-thingy.
only in real life you wouldn't be hearing the pinging sound even though you'd be able to hear the torpedo coming on sonar
I would say the radiation meters in chernobyl were more haunting. Geiger counters i think is what theyre called
If you want to hear real active sonar pinging as it is heard and analyzed by sonar men today head over to "sub brief" for a lesson in sonar technique that will leave you stunned.

Indeed. For me, one of his best post Bond movies.
I believe you this movie is very awesome to watch love navy war ships
Agreed, wholeheartedly.
R.I.P. Amen.
Ramius was in the zone here.... calculating the torpedoes range/pings versus his boat's speed while keeping in mind the turn before the undersea mountain needed to fool it. The choir singing seems to signify his years of knowledge that cant simply be taught, only learned with years of experience. Even his most faithful XO was worried.
And Connery played it all perfectly.
Ramius was a tactician, mathematician, navigator, and most of all, captain, all rolled into one.
USS Dallas be advised, Marko Ramius is a shteely-eyed mishile man
I love how the explosion was still happening and Ramius already calling in engineering to request damage report.

@@Restilia_ch can't they via reversing the direction on the prop or reverse flow on one of the nozzles for those vessles that use a pump-jet, much the same as you can on a atmospheric jet engine?
@@nigelft Ohio-class and most US submarine classes Skipjack-class and newer all are single screw. I don't think the newer submarines use screws/propellers at all. They use a pump-jet of some kind. With moving parts, a literal jet engine for water.
@@chrismc410 If you put the one prop you have into reverse, then you're just going backwards. Need at least two to spin in place. Kind of like how a tank can do it, but a car cannot, because of separate drive lines.
Notice how the camera zooms in on Connery's character as he is seated and the crew is following his orders to make the turn?💪
Sean Connery was such an Alpha male i this movie.
'SHUTUP!'
Which is why Harrison Ford wanted to play that role and turned down the move when they offered him Jack Ryan.
@@ARKHAMxMaverick Given how awful Harrison's Russian accent was in K-19, its probably good that Connery got the role and didn't even attempt one.
I love that we see Ramius counting it out, waiting until the absolute last second to make the turn.
This scene is nerve wrecking especially to the officers who are defecting along with Ramius. This submarine scene is second to the depth charges scene in Das Boot. That ping sound might be the last sound they will hear. In that depth and pressure, death will happen so fast that they won't feel any pain at all.
" I would have liked to have seen Montana...."
... and driven that pickup truck ...

.... And retrieve raptor's claw
After watching this film, me too. I just hope I won't be disappointed.
What I like most is the valve, strategically placed in the command room, with nothig connected to it. Just a perfect item to relieve tension after some life-threateningn incident. Those ship designers ...
0:58 she'll fly apart! Captain: FLY HER APART THEN!
cmdtcenturion From the bridge of Red October to the the bridge of the Excelsior. What a leap!
From Captain Ramius to Captain Sulu. What a leap!
I was 8 years ago when i watched this over 15 years ago and this scene still gives me goosebumps. Holly wood does not make em like this anymore.
Great Scene .....but you cut out one of the best parts ...where the captain looks at his crew... and to see in there eyes ...no words are exchanged but , absolute trust and faith in their commander ....based on what the captain just did....
This scene is a metaphor for every assessment I've done for my degree. Always leaving it to the last minute and narrowing submitting it in time
SEAN CONNERY ❤
Rest in peace captain!
Yes he was calculating everything in his head and YEARS of experience went into his actions....and, it was almost as if he was listening to the very spirit of the sea whispering to him.
このシーンはいつ見ても刺激的だ。巨大な潜水艦を襲う魚雷の群と、航路を熟知した艦長ととの駆け引きがなんとも言えない。ショーン・コネリーもいい味を出している。好きだねこのシーンはライト・フォア・ラダー、いいセリフだ。
UA-cam recommending this like it's paying respects. R.I.P
The torpedo will keep on locking-on the sub if the sub turns too early. The only way to cut loose the torpedo is by making the turn the last second. This is not only a great movie scene but also battle reality.
RIP Sean Connery
You're relieved.
I am reading all the comments here about this remarkable movie. One of my all time favorites. Everything about this is gold.
I've always loved this scene.
Red October standing by
This clip has one of the best camera angles in any movie, the one that looks upward from below and shows the torpedo barely missing the sub.
I rereading the book and I love this movie.
Even the minor characters are perfectly portrayed. There isn’t a single bad performance in the film.
Third torpedo man was awful
"RIGHT FULL RUDDER!! REVERSE STARBOARD ENGINES!!"
Red October: "With everything, turn, turn turn...."
“Vilnius Nastavnik” at this best. Pure gold.
Best Sean Connery scene EVER I still get goosebumps when I see it.
Oidhche mhath mo charaid, caidil gu math
RIP Connery!
Right full ruddah! Reversh shtarboard engine!
This is single handedly greatest submarine movie scene
Absolutely brilliant sound mixing and sound editing there.
"My name is Ramius...Marko Ramius."
So long Captain Ramius. RIP Sean Connery.
1:38
Always liked this POV special effects shot.
The USS Dallas con set was pretty accurate (more than 90%) .. real Typhoon class subs bridge looks pretty much like a wider and bigger Los Angeles class bridge..
In an interview with the director, they talk about this design choice. The director felt the audience would have a hard time distinguishing between the different submarines (Russian and American) in different cutaway shots, so they decided the American sub would be the most "true to life " interior and they took creative liberties with the Russian one.
All due respect to the honorable men of HMS Titanic, this is how to go hard to starboard.
Tom Clancy one of the best writers. RIP Sean Connery one of the best to this day
Marko Ramius doing a drift on a 50.000 ton ballistic missile submarine. This movie was ahead of its time. XD
No movies made like this today.
One ping only, please!
Sean Connery! Freaking NAILS!
The Hunt For Red October is the best Jack Ryan movie.
Sean Connery was perfect for the movie.....
This is the movie that I see at the movie theater with my dad and my friend Sandra.
Sir Sean Connery stayed so cool and collected through this whole movie as Ramius.
0:25 "SPAAACE!!"
Best darn sub movie ever!!
IM so mad at the navigator hes so preoccupied with the sea cliff hes forgetting the torpedo.The reason the captain went over the normal turn was because he knew that the closer he got to the cliff the more his propeller sounds would echo off the rocks giving him the chance he needed to turn hard and confuse the torpedo about where it target actually was. Collision was simple, he knew that their was a fair chance that even a slight mis step could not only get him killed by a torpedo but head on rammed into a sea cliff. it was a all or nothing tactic and everyone in Control seeme to know that except the stupid navigation officer who had the Literal damn map so he could see it :/
+Alexis Hood Smart girl
I thought it was more that the submarine was traveling at such a high speed that a sudden and violent change in course would almost create like a current or rush in the water same type of noise scenario where in essence the torpedo is confused similar to a counter measure and also the torpedo wouldn't have time to adjust as it hits the rock formation.
Alexis--are you sure you not an ex-submarine commander from a previous life?
Alexis Hood Interesting. I assumed turning so close to the wall would not give the torpedo room to maneuver and it would run straight into the wall. Which it did.
Yep. Torpedo guidance would have had to turn about to reacquire the target. Torpedos aren't given maps of the terrain; only the censors and algorithm needed to calculate the target and pursue until lack of fuel for propulsion or detonation. :)
Pavel:
Excellent maneuvering, kapitan!
Sound Collision.
Connery saved the boat with his sheer charisma.
