- Synopsis
- When the president of Russia suddenly dies, a man whose politics are virtually unknown succeeds him. The change in political leaders sparks paranoia among American CIA officials, so CIA director Bill Cabot recruits a young analyst to supply insight and advice on the situation. Then the unthinkable happens: a nuclear bomb explodes in a U.S. city, and America is quick to blame the Russians.

- Critics' reviews
-
-
"The movie does what all good thrillers should do -- provide enough shocks and surprises to keep us guessing, and never lets up on the suspense until the end credits arrive.
-
"A world-detonation thriller, at once urgent and lazy, that benefits from its connection to current events and also, by the end, suffers from it"
-
"As an evocation of danger, the movie seems threatening yet is nowhere near serious or intelligent enough to satisfy our current sense of alarm."
-
"Smartly directed, grown-up film of ideas -- with a debonair script by Paul Attanasio and Daniel Pyne"
-
"At once too real for escapism and too ridiculous for a credible espionage thriller, The Sum Of All Fears unfolds like a cruel joke"
-
"It may be a work of pure fiction, with the requisite preposterous plot turns, but it still has the air of a 'what if?' scenario, and it is perfectly, thoroughly chilling."
-
"Fortunately, even when star and story are ineffectual, Fears' supporting players are all thrilling, especially Morgan Freeman"
-
"A moribund attempt to exhume the Jack Ryan techno-thriller franchise with a severely miscast Ben Affleck"
