The Final Countdown

Postby Maximus the Destroyer on Sat Jan 31, 2009 1:28 pm

Has anyone seen the movie The Final Countdown starring Kirk Douglas, James Farentino, Martin Sheen, Katharine Ross, and Charles Durning?

Plot outline (from IMDB.com)
The USS Nimitz, a modern-day nuclear aircraft carrier, is drawn through a time warp from 1980 to a couple days before the Japanese assault on Pearl Harbor, and the crew must decide whether to launch a preemptive strike against the incoming Japanese carrier fleet with their more advanced air wing, or allow history to take its course, which might not happen since they had rescued Senator Chapman, who disappeared shortly before the attack, from his death.
