What if a modern day naval carrier found itself(through a mysterious time-portal on the sea) back on that fateful day of Dec. 7, 1941, when Japanese forces attacked Pearl Harbor, killing scores of soldiers and civilians, and plunging the U.S.A. into World War II? That is the question this intriguing science fiction yarn presents, in a highly imaginative, engaging, and intelligent way. Story sounds like it could have been on "The Twilight Zone", and something like it was, but this authentic looking film(made on a real carrier with real aircraft) can stand nicely on its own. Kirk Douglas, Martin Sheen, James Farantino, Charles Durning, and Katharine Ross also star, and all are well cast.
Twist at the end is most clever, logical, and satisfying. A winner.
