Der letzte Countdown (1980)
KriegsfilmActionScience Fiction
Dezember 1980: Der amerikanische Flugzeugträger USS Nimitz gerät während eines Routinemanövers in der Nähe von Pearl Harbor in ein mysteriöses Unwetter. Wenig später scheint alles wieder normal, doch niemand weiß, was eigentlich passiert ist. Erst als die Funkgeräte alte Radioübertragungen empfangen, wird der Besatzung klar, dass sie und das Schiff durch den seltsamen Sturm in der Zeit versetzt wurden und sich nun mitten im zweiten Weltkrieg befinden. Es ist der 7. Dezember 1941, der Tag des japanischen Angriffs auf Pearl Harbor, bei dem die amerikanische Pazifikflotte vernichtet wurde. Captain Matthew Yelland steht vor einer schwerwiegenden Entscheidung: Mit der überlegenden Feuerkraft der Nimitz und den hochmodernen F14-Kampfjets an Bord könnte er die japanische Flotte stoppen und die Weltgeschichte neu schreiben...
