A Japanese-American co-production, director Richard Fleischer (SOYLENT GREEN) and two Japanese directors put together this ultrarealistic account of the bombing of Pearl Harbor as presented from the perspectives of both nations, as diplomatic tensions rise between the two countries. While the Japanese military plans its attack on American military installations, the American forces nearly stumble into a much greater calamity due to a series of errors and mistakes. As the two sides plunge closer to war, the tension escalates until the final, spectacular air raid, the most realistic ever filmed. This ITA award winner has a fabulous cast, including Martin Balsam, Joseph Cotten, Jason Robards, James Whitmore, and E.G. Marshall. [More]

Reviews for Tora! Tora! Tora!
Works well as a history lesson, and the recreation of the 12/7/41 attack is spectacular, but the film is much less effective on a character level.
Gives the viewer a true sense of the frightening chaos felt at the time.
The characters are merely devices to spout textbook material, facts, and figures.
