===Films===
{{Main|Jack Ryan (franchise)}}
Five films based on Clancy novels featuring Jack Ryan have been produced. Jack Ryan was portrayed by [[Alec Baldwin]] in the 1990 film ''[[The Hunt for Red October (film)|The Hunt for Red October]]'', [[Harrison Ford]] in ''[[Patriot Games (film)|Patriot Games]]'' (1992) and ''[[Clear and Present Danger (film)|Clear and Present Danger]]'' (1994), [[Ben Affleck]] in the 2002 film ''[[The Sum of All Fears (film)|The Sum of All Fears]]'', and [[Chris Pine]] in 2014 film ''[[Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit]]''.

In the novels, ''Patriot Games'' occurs before ''The Hunt for Red October'', though the order was reversed in the film versions. Additionally, ''The Sum of All Fears'' is not part of the Baldwin/Ford series, but rather an intended [[Reboot (fiction)|reboot]] of the franchise which departs significantly from the chronology of the novels. It takes place in 2002, whereas the novel takes place in 1991/1992. ''Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit'' is a second reboot of the franchise and departs from all previous films.
