After "Regarding Henry" disappointed at the Summer 1991 box office, Ford found himself another worthwhile franchise when he took over the role of CIA action hero Jack Ryan in the R-rated "Patriot Games."

"Games" and its sequel, "Clear and Present Danger," are both well-crafted adult thrillers of the sort we just don’t see anymore in Hollywood.
