When does this movie take place?-Oliveira 13:36, 14 June 2009 (UTC)
- The book was set in 1984. I guess the movie must be, too. -MT2008
- I could swear that the movie took place in the Early or Mid 1960s. I guess i was wrong.-Oliveira 14:28, 14 June 2009 (UTC)
- Definitely not. The Red October is a Typhoon-class nuclear sub, and the first of those were commissioned by the USSR in the early-1980s. Then there's the scene at the end where an SH-60B Seahawk is used in ASW activities - the Seahawk design also dates from the late-70s/early-80s (the first were brought into service around '84-'85, so if this movie is set in 1984, their use may be a tad bit anachronistic, though not much). Not to mention that the cars, computers, phones, and other stuff seen in this film are definitely from the 80s. -MT2008
- Shit. I think there is another Tom Clancy Cold War book that was turned into a movie that was set during the 1960s. I but read the plot of most of his books in Wikipedia and it seens that all of his Cold War books are set in the 1980s.-Oliveira 15:30, 14 June 2009 (UTC)
