Detailed Bias Analysis

Analyzing...
Center

Primary

The film critiques high-level government corruption and illegal covert operations, championing individual moral integrity and the rule of law as the solution. This emphasis on individual accountability and skepticism of unchecked federal power aligns with right-leaning themes.

The movie incorporates significant DEI through the casting of a prominent Black actor in a traditionally white role. However, its narrative primarily focuses on geopolitical conflict and political corruption, without explicitly critiquing or negatively framing traditional identities.

Secondary

Clear and Present Danger, a political thriller centered on Jack Ryan's investigation into drug cartels and government corruption, does not include any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative focuses entirely on its core plot without incorporating queer identities or experiences, resulting in an N/A rating for LGBTQ+ portrayal.

The film does not feature any female characters in significant action or combat roles. Consequently, there are no scenes depicting a female character engaging in or winning close-quarters physical combat against one or more male opponents.

The film "Clear and Present Danger" is an adaptation of Tom Clancy's novel. All major characters, including Jack Ryan, James Greer, and John Clark, retain their established genders from the source material.

All major characters in "Clear and Present Danger" (1994) are portrayed by actors whose race aligns with their established canonical depictions in Tom Clancy's novels or previous film adaptations. No instances of a race swap were identified.
