The film is primarily about a Soviet sub captain by the name of Maco Ramius who wants to defect and live in the United States. Ramius is put in command of a stealth sub capable of launching ballistic missiles without detection (Red October), so the main conflict of the film is the captain and officers of the Red October trying to escape the pursuing Soviet navy and make contact with the Americans (who are under the impression that the captain of the Red October has intentions to fire missiles at the United States).
