More About This Product

Overview

This 25-million dollar epic collaboration accurately recreates the events that led to the Japanese attack on the American naval base during World War II. With Germany's invasion of Poland on September 1, 1939, the wheels are set in motion by Japan to plan the attack. After internal differences in the government, the Japanese quickly mobilize plans for the assault. Key American personnel ignored warnings of the possibility of Japanese aggression. The first part of the film divides scenes from both countries. Part two contains spectacular battle scenes of the bombing that destroyed the American naval base of operations in Hawaii. Governmental errors on both sides add to the confusion, but the Japanese ultimately carry out the deadly mission. The film did well in Japan, did not do well in the he United States, and took years to make back the production costs. It remains an insightful and well crafted World War II action drama that was the result of years of negotiations between the two countries.

    Very Accurate Account of the Pearl Harbor Attack

    I bought Tora, Tora, Tora because I had seen it a number of years ago on VHS. Being a history major, I was impressed with the historical detail of the movie. The movie also goes into the "back story" on the Japanese side and show how the attack was planned and why it was deemed necessary by the Japanese. It also shows how the US government was almost sleeping through world events, while ignoring the concerns those people who were paying attention to what was going on. Also covered is the fact that Washington had detailed intelligence on Japanese plans, but would not release all of the information to their theater commanders (Admiral Kimmell and General Short). This forced them to guess their best course of action, and they guessed wrong. I was also impressed with the fact that the Japanese actors in the movie actually speak Japanese (not English) as in other WWII movies. This is a movie well worth adding to the collection of any WWII or history buff.

    The Classic Pearl Harbor Movie

    This outstanding American and Japanese film is quite possibly the finest audio-visual narrative of the Pearl Harbor attack. It is historically accurate (save a few minor details), well presented and very exciting. For strategy devotees, this is a must see.

    Holds up extremely well

    The more recent Pearl Harbor went for the James Cameron formula in Titanic, in which an immediate & personal story plays out in the foreground while the historical event is the backdrop. This film was made almost in a documentary style and great care was taken to present a balanced view. This film better explains, as well as a movie can, the forces that drove the Pearl Harbor attack as well as why the United States was caught so unprepared. Great visuals and action complement the story.

    the second greatest pearl harbor movie off all time!

    It is a great movie. The title is the neatest part. Tora means tiger in japenesse. That was the attack call for the japanesse fighter planes.
