The time is now. The place is aboard the U.S.S. Nimitz, America's mightiest nuclear-powered aircraft carrier on maneuvers in the Pacific Ocean. Suddenly, a freak electrical storm engulfs the ship and triggers the impossible: The Nimitz is hurtled back in time to December 6, 1941, mere hours before the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor.
What would have happened if an aircraft carrier of today (1980) went back in time to the Pearl Harbor of December 7, 1941? Kirk Douglas (along with a great cast of actors) finds out when a storm (unlike any he has ever seen) transports him back there.
Will this make a difference in history?
What would you do?
I originally saw this movie in the theater. It is a long a-d-v-e-r-t-i-s-e-m-e-n-t for the technology of the day (1980). However, I still find myself watching this every time it comes on TV. It is time to buy the DVD. I find myself kibitzing and wondering what would have happened if they stayed a little longer.
Now it is time for a sequel with stealth.
