American aircraft carrier moves back in time and is in position to stop the Pearl Harbor attack.
During a naval excercises American aircraft carrier encounters a strange phenomenon in the middle of the ocean. After crossing it the crew can’t figure out what exactly happened - they can’t contact any base over radio, they don’t detect any traffic around and all they receive is some old time radio station. After sending recon aircrafts over Hawaii they realize that somehow they must have traveled back in time.
Science fiction movie that tells the story of modern American aircraft carrier that moved back in time to December 1941 near Hawaii, just hours before the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. The captain has to make a decision if they should interfere with the history or not. Interesting script, good cast and a lot of great shots taken onboard of the real carrier.
