** The President and Escobedo have a ''lot'' in common. They're both important leaders with more power than sense, who are prone to acting impulsively and without considering the consequences. This is what triggers the events of the movie in the first place - in the President's case, starting an illegal war with the Colombian cartels in a moment of rage after they murder a college friend of his, in Escobedo's case, murdering said friend without worrying that he has connections in high places. It's even weaponized against Escobedo - Cortez is able to stage the incredibly public and brazen murder of American officials, knowing that all the other Cartel leaders will believe Escobedo did it because it's just the kind of thing he'd do.
** Ritter and Cortez, both ruthless career intelligence officers working, somewhat to their chagrin, for a PointyHairedBoss they don't particularly respect. Though only one of them does anything about it.
** Jack Ryan and John Clark. The former is a LawfulGood public servant who's furious when he discovers that his CIA colleagues and political superiors have started an illegal war, the latter is an off-the-books agent who's neck deep in the illegal war from the very start. Both of them, however, are willing to do whatever it takes to rescue the surviving American soldiers after they're cut off and betrayed.

So the villains are changed to the Cali Cartel, Medellin's main rival, which were still powerful in 1994.
