About this movie

A modern American nuclear aircraft carrier and its crew get caught in a supernatural storm, which they discover has sent them back in time to 1941, just before the Japanese assault on Pearl Harbour. They then have a dilemma; whether they should intervene in the attack and risk changing history, or let events take their course.

Ratings and reviews

This is the USS Nimitz. Where the hell are we... As first seen when I accidentally saw the poster for this film aged 7 and its still one of my favorites! Also inspired a TV Commercial in the 1990s about 'We are a lighthouse. Your call!' 10/10

I watched this film years ago but still remember the story line if only we could go back in time and make all the wrong things right in our lives to the things that have long gone now

It was good in its day. Bit dated now though
