Summary

Experience all the sound and fury of the Japanese air attack on Pearl Harbor. Authentic reenactments of key events in Washington, Honolulu, and Tokyo highlight this stirring account of the deceptions, the gambles, and the all-too-human lapses that led to the "Day of Infamy." From the attack's early planning to the cry of exultant Japanese airmen as they leave Pearl Harbor ablaze, this depiction is both an accurate, honest account of war and breathtaking filmmaking!
