The Final Countdown
Trapped outside the boundaries of time and space... 102 aircraft... 6,000 men... all missing.
Directed by Don Taylor
Produced by Bryna Productions, United Artists
A high-concept time-travel thriller that uses the USS Nimitz's displacement to Pearl Harbor as a vehicle for exploring the moral weight of historical knowledge and military intervention.
During routine manoeuvres near Hawaii in 1980, the aircraft-carrier USS Nimitz is caught in a strange vortex-like storm, throwing the ship back in time to 1941—mere hours before the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor.
