What Hacker News says?
If you like this movie, I recommend Jamelle Bouie and John Ganz's podcast "Unclear and Present Danger" (the name is a riff on Clancy as well) which covers the political and military thrillers of the 1990s and how they dealt with the United States' changing place in the world after the end of the Cold War. They have done two episodes on this movie: https://jamellebouie.net/unclear-and-present-danger/2021/10/... https…
