The Final Countdown (1980)
Het grootste oorlogschip van de geschiedenis, het Amerikaanse nucleaire vliegdekschip 'Nimitz', gaat een routinereis maken in de wateren in de omgeving van Pearl Harbor. Het schip wordt overvallen door een vreemde elektrische storm. Als de storm bedaard is merkt de bemanning dat er iets niet klopt. Zij ontvangen op hun radio's programma's uit 1940 en een verkenningsvlucht boven Pearl Harbor leidt tot een hoogst merkwaardige ontdekking. De Amerikaanse vloot van 1940 ligt geheel intact in de haven; de plotselinge Japanse aanval, die deze vloot vernietigde heeft kennelijk nog niet plaats gehad. Er is geen andere conclusie mogelijk: de 'Nimitz' is door de geheimzinnige storm teruggeslagen naar 6 December 1941, de dag voor de aanval op Pearl Harbor. Wetend wat er gaat gebeuren staat kapitein Yelland voor de vraag of hij moet ingrijpen, of dat hij de geschiedenis op zijn beloop moet laten...
