    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      In the mid 1980s the communist government banned the movie in Hungary, claiming it glorified the United States Armed Forces. However, some illegal copies were circulated on VHS with parts about the Russian trawler spying on the USS Nimitz edited out.
    • Goofs
      When Mr. Lasky first arrives on board the Nimitz, he is met at the hatch into the island by the XO, CDR Thurman. CDR Thurman has his cover on, on the flight deck, during flight operations. As the XO, he should know that covers are never worn on the flight deck during flight ops. The hat could get blown off his head and become FOD, or Foreign Object Debris, and possibly get sucked into a jet intake and cause major damage to the engine and maybe cost some sailors their lives.
    • Quotes

      [an F-14 pilot is reporting the identity of a pair of enemy planes to Captain Yelland over the radio]

      Captain Yelland: Alert 1 this is Eagle 1, what've you got?

      Pilot: Two Japanese Zeroes, sir.

      Captain Yelland: Two what?

      Pilot: Two Trophy Class Mitsubishi A6Ms in original condition, complete with all markings. I mean, they look brand new sir!

      Captain Yelland: Have you been spotted?

      Pilot: Negative, we're right in the sun at their 6 o'clock high.

      Captain Yelland: Stay in visual contact, take no action without clearance.

      Pilot: Wilco Eagle 1, out.

    I really enjoyed it
    This was a highly entertaining sleeper about a naval ship that happens to go through a time warp and end up at Pearl Harbor just hours before the attack in 1941. Realistic acting, special effects and air scenes really make this movie stand out from other similar movies. I'm really surprised that this film is not more popular, because this was a very unique and fascinating concept for a movie, especially back in 1980. I would recommend this movie to anyone who enjoys a good science-fiction film. I'm also surprised that it has such a low rating, I was expecting it to be rated at least a 7. Ill give it an 8 out of 10. Well worth viewing.

    • What is the point of this film exactly?
    • Had they stopped the airstrike would it have averted US involvement in WW2?
