''Clear and Present Danger'' is a 1994 film starring Creator/HarrisonFord, adapted from [[Literature/ClearAndPresentDanger the novel of the same name]].
Literature/JackRyan must investigate the murder of a life-long friend of the POTUS in relation to what appears to be a drug cartel in Columbia, only to be pulled into a war illegally started by the US government.
!!This film contains examples of:
* ActionSurvivor
* AdaptationDyeJob: Cathy Ryan, described as a classic blond, blue-eyed beauty, is now reddish-brunette.
* ArmchairMilitary: When the operation starts to unravel and people not cleared start to figure it out, one person states rather bluntly that if the CIA had actually bothered to include the organizations they were suborning, the operation would have run smoother, would not have been discovered, and would've been a hell of a lot more deniable, basically a screed against the ArmchairMilitary that set up the operation in the first place.
* CallingTheOldManOut: "How dare ''you'', sir!"
* TheCartel
* TheCavalry: After everything goes to hell, [[spoiler:Ryan and Clark help organize a rescue for the troops left behind on the ground]].
* CoastGuard: An unnamed Coast Guard cutter plays a significant role.
* DeceasedFallGuyGambit: The President threatens to do this to Admiral Greer.
* DrugsAreBad
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Cortez has the mindset of a professional intelligence officer, so while he mostly has a lot of PragmaticVillainy moments, he does show genuine disgust with the methods used by the Cartel to intimidate their rivals.
* EveryHelicopterIsAHuey: Justified by RuleOfSymbolism.
* EverythingIsOnline: Mocked. After Cortez and Ryan both start to suspect that a car bombing was actually caused by a missile, they research the issue. Ryan, the Deputy Director of the largest intelligence organization in the world, has to pull an all-nighter alone looking through ''Jane's Armaments.'' Cortez just searches a slick, high-tech database.
* FakeKillScare: The Coasties get a pirate to talk by blindfolding him and pretending to shoot the other one. His pal falls for it and blabs.
