Pearl Harbor [2001, USA ] starting from $1.99

December 7, 1941 - It Was A Sunday Morning...

Genres: Action, Drama, Romance, War Actors: Ben Affleck, Josh Hartnett, Kate Beckinsale, Cuba Gooding Jr., Jon Voight, Alec Baldwin, Tom Sizemore, William Lee Scott, Greg Zola, Ewen Bremner, Jaime King, Catherine Kellner, Jennifer Garner, Sara Rue, Michael Shannon Directors: Michael Bay, Download: DVD   DivX   PDA   The above summaries do a great job of describing the dynamics of the love triangle that develops between the two pilots that fall in love with the same nurse. The movie also does a credible job of displaying the war from the American side with FDR and our side. It also shows the strategy of Japan as they plan for and execute all facets of the attack on Pearl Harbor. While all details may not be historically correct, I believe that they do the job well - all things considered. Historic events that were altered were probably done so in an attempt to also make this movie the entertaining epic that it is.
