TORA! TORA! TORA! is the Japanese signal to attack, and the movie meticulously recreates the attack on Pearl Harbour and the events leading up to it. Opening scenes contrast the American and Japanese positions. Japanese imperialists decide to stage the attack. Top US brass ignore its possibility. Intercepted Japanese messages warn of it - but never reach FDR's desk. Radar warnings are disregarded. Even the entrapment of a Japanese submarine in Pearl Harbour before the attack goes unreported. Ultimately the Day of Infamy arrives, in the most spectacular, gut wrenching cavalcade of action packed footage ever. It's the most dazzling recreation of America's darkest day, and some of her finest hours.
