Trout
Retired CIA analyst Jack Ryan is on holiday in London with his wife Cathy and daughter Sally when they witness a terrorist attack on Lord William Holmes, Secretary of State for Northern Ireland. Ryan intervenes and is injured, during the action he kills one of the terrorists, as well as the brother of the ruthless separatist Sean Miller, who swears revenge on him. Miller manages to escape from prison and, driven by a thirst for revenge, pursues Ryan to the United States, waging a personal war against him.
While recovering, Ryan is asked to testify in court against Miller, who is part of a terrorist cell of the Provisional Irish Republican Army and is later convicted.
As Miller is transferred to HM Albany Prison on the Isle of Wight, the escort convoy is ambushed by his comrades, including Kevin O’Donnell, who kills police and organizes an escape. Miller and his companions flee to North Africa to plan another kidnapping attempt on Lord Holmes but Miller convinces several members of the group to accompany him to the United States to kill Ryan and his family.
Ryan survives an assassination attempt by two terrorists outside the US Naval Academy while Miller and his old friend find Cathy and Sally, both of whom are injured. Confused by the attack on his family, Ryan decides to return to work for the CIA, having previously rejected the appeal of his former boss, Vice Admiral James Greer.
