"Sir, there's a large formation of planes coming in from the north, 140 miles, 3 degrees east." "Yeah? Don't worry about it." This is just one of the many mishaps chronicled in Tora! Tora! Tora! The epic film shows the bombing of Pearl Harbor from both sides in the historic first American-Japanese coproduction: American director Richard Fleischer oversaw the complicated production (the Japanese sequences were directed by Toshio Masuda and Kinji Fukasaku, after Akira Kurosawa withdrew from the film), wrestling a sprawling story with dozens of characters into a manageable, fairly easy-to-follow film. The first half maps out the collapse of diplomacy between the nations and the military blunders that left naval and air forces sitting ducks for the impending attack, while the second half is an amazing re-creation of the devastating battle. While Tora! Tora! Tora! lacks the strong central characters that anchor the best war movies, the real star of the film is the climactic 30-minute battle, a massive feat of cinematic engineering that expertly conveys the surprise, the chaos, and the immense destruction of the only attack by a foreign power on American soil since the Revolutionary War. The special effects won a well-deserved Oscar, but the film was shut out of every other category by, ironically, the other epic war picture of the year, Patton. --Sean Axmaker

 Great! February 22, 2010

Saw this movie back in 1970 at the theater with my Dad. It was great seeing it at home. This was a fast easy process to get this. I should have done this years ago. This movie is just as great as I remember it.

it came great perfect conditions on the package and the actual quality was great, didn't actually see the movie but only a part of it as it was a gift for my grandfather but he loved it.
The best film about December 7, 1941 February 7, 2010

The story of the December 7, 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor. Start here if you want a more realistic telling of the start of the War in the Pacific. The later film with Ben Affleck, Kate Beckinsale, et al, is painful to watch.
Great Movie/Documentary January 31, 2010

Good Movie about the Attack on Pearl Harbor. This and "world Trade Center' or "Flight 93" should be required viewing for the numbskulls that do not understand that America is under attack from Radical Islam. No amount of "kissing up" to the Arab world is going to make them forget their intent to destroy America and Americans.
