One of the last Cold War films to make it to the big screen is now available on Blu-Ray. The Sum of All Fears stars Ben Affleck as the CIA Agent Jack Ryan made famous by Harrison Ford and Alec Baldwin.

This story is cast in an era when tensions between the United States and Russia still exist and the fear of a nuclear attack are present. A young Jack Ryan finds himself in the middle of it all and has to decide how sure he really is about his assessment of the situation. Jack's investigation leads him to ultimately find out who really is at fault, but will it be too late?
