Movie Description
A Japanese-American co-production, director Richard Fleischer (SOYLENT GREEN) and two Japanese directors put together this ultrarealistic account of the bombing of Pearl Harbor as presented from the perspectives of both nations, as diplomatic tensions rise between the two countries. While the Japanese military plans its attack on American military installations, the American forces nearly stumble into a much greater calamity due to a series of errors and mistakes. As the two sides plunge closer to war, the tension escalates until the final, spectacular air raid, the most realistic ever filmed. This ITA award winner has a fabulous cast, including Martin Balsam, Joseph Cotten, Jason Robards, James Whitmore, and E.G. Marshall.
Synopsis
Created by both Japanese and American filmmakers, TORA! TORA! TORA! examines Japan's sneak attack on Pearl Harbor. The film first details the days leading up to the event, starting in 1939, when Germany invaded Poland and the fear of an attack on the U.S. by the Axis Powers began to grow. Miscalculations by both the American and Japanese military are explored from each side's point of view. The movie then climaxes with a spectacularly staged realistic re-creation of the Pearl Harbor attack.
