Watch the Jack Ryan series trailer below and see what you think.
There’s not much action to be found just yet, but this is a teaser trailer after all. Plus, we have to remember that before Jack Ryan gets caught up in this terrorist plot overseas, he’s nothing more than a CIA analyst, the kind of employee who isn’t meant to draw his gun and proves to be much more effective behind a desk at a computer than staring down the sight of a firearm. But as Jack Ryan fans know, there’s much more in store for the character as he gets deeper into danger and intrigue.
In Tom Clancy’s books, enough time passes that a turn of events leads Jack Ryan to being named President of the United States of America, replacing a scandalous vice president who had already replaced the previous president after another scandal destroyed his political career. Later on, Ryan would even end up running for a second term, so the character has had quite the lifespan on the pages of Tom Clancy’s books.
When CIA analyst Jack Ryan stumbles upon a suspicious series of bank transfers his search for answers pulls him from the safety of his desk job and catapults him into a deadly game of cat and mouse throughout Europe and the Middle East, with a rising terrorist figurehead preparing for a massive attack against the US and her allies.
