Ryan is critically injured and during a lengthy rehab, he attracts the attention of Dr. He is a Marine second lieutenant when the helicopter he is riding in is shot down over Afghanistan. Much of the central tension revolves around Pine’s relationship with Knightley, and the pair’s chemistry is so convincing that it’s easier to overlook some of the more tedious writing.Jack Ryan ( Chris Pine) joins the U.S. Alec Baldwin and Harrison Ford both played Ryan as a family man and caring father, whereas Pine gets the chance to be a budding romantic lead (although he’s not quite as thirsty as Ben Affleck in The Sum of All Fears).

The notable difference between Shadow Recruit and its predecessors is that it’s not directly based on any of Clancy’s novels, instead focusing on Ryan’s origin story.
