Directed by ‘Thor’ helmsman and Bard enthusiast Kenneth Branagh, the movie retells the origin story of Tom Clancy created CIA agent Jack Ryan.

Played by Chris Pine, the iconic spook is a lowly Junior Analyst who uncovers evidence of an imminent terrorist attack. Quickly promoted to a field agent, the fledgling spy then heads for Moscow where he has to fend off assassins, save the global economy from destruction, and if he has time, save his marriage too. And you thought you'd had a tough day at work…

‘Star Trek’ star Pine becomes the fourth actor to take on the role, following in the hefty footsteps of Alec Baldwin (‘The Hunt For Red October’), Harrison Ford (‘Patriot Games’ and ‘Clear And Present Danger’) and new Batman, Ben Affleck (‘The Sum Of All Fears’).

‘Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit’, co-starring Kevin Costner and Keira Knightley, is out in the UK 24 January 2014. You can watch the full trailer, below.
