Plot Synopsis
Storyline
Pearl Harbor is a classic tale of romance set during a war that complicates everything. It all starts when childhood friends Rafe and Danny become Army Air Corps pilots and meet Evelyn, a Navy nurse. Rafe falls head over heels and next thing you know Evelyn and Rafe are hooking up. Then Rafe volunteers to go fight in Britain and Evelyn and Danny get transferred to Pearl Harbor. While Rafe is off fighting everything gets completely whack and next thing you know everybody is in the middle of an air raid we now know as "Pearl Harbor." Written by shoppingurl3

Trivia
Before shooting began in Pearl Harbor, a Hawaiian priest blessed the crew - a practice recommended by local custom for film crews shooting in Hawaii. The ceremony took place on the first day of principal photography and lasted over four hours, much to the chagrin of director Michael Bay who had been told it would only take about 15 to 20 minutes.

When Evelyn first enters Pearl Harbor, there is a tall building that clearly says, "Est. 1953". See more »Crazy Credits
Unusually, Pearl Harbor started without showing the opening Touchstone and Bruckheimer logos; they only showed up after the end credits. See more »Soundtracks

In 1941 it cost the Empire of Japan 147 thousand dollars to stage the three hour attack on Pearl Harbor.
In 2001 Michael Bay spent $132 MILLION dollars to film the event, and ran four minutes longer.
Even taking into account 60 years of inflation, the Japanese did a better job with a smaller budget...
Due to the ten line minimum submission this may be too short - but sometimes less is more.
20th Century Fox already did the Pearl Harbor attack in Tora Tora Tora
- and did an excellent job. Michael Bay should have left well enough
alone.
