"Een actieheld is herboren!" in Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit, het eerste verhaal rond Tom Clancy's meest iconische karakter. CIA rekruut Jack Ryan (Chris Pine) belandt in een web van intriges en moet balanceren tussen zijn nietsvermoedende verloofde (Keira Knightley), een duistere overheidsagent (Academy Award® winnaar Kevin Costner*) en een meedogenloze Russische crimineel (Academy Award® genomineerde Kenneth Branagh**). Om een terroristisch complot tegen de Verenigde Staten te stoppen moet Ryan bewijzen dat hij niet alleen een analist is maar een volwaardige CIA agent. De inzet was nog nooit zo hoog als in deze sensationeel spannende film!
