German bandits at two o'clock!

Increase throttle!
Power dive!

Spell it right, Rafe.

"Rudder" is spelled
with two D's.

Thanks, wingman.
Yeah, sure.

Whoa, bandits!

Crack shootin', Danny.

Crack shootin', Rafe.

Land of the free.
Home of the brave.

Great flyin', Dad!

Come on. I'm gonna
teach you how to fly.

I get the front!
No, you take the back.

I'm bigger,
and I should be in front.

I'm older,
and I'm teachin', so no.

Wow. It's like
we're really flying.

Yeah, I did it lots of times.

Come on, you man the guns.

I'll give her some throttle.

We gotta get those
dirty German bandits.

Oh, gosh!

Hang on!

Make it stop, Rafe!

I've seen my dad do this
lots of times. Don't worry!

Rafe!

Oh, my gosh! We're flying!

We're flying!

Wow.

My dad's
gonna kill me. Come on.

Yes! Whoo-hoo!

We flew!
We flew! Yes! I'm a pilot!

I know!
Yeah!

We flew.

You no-account boy!
Daddy...

I done told you, you spend time playing
with this stupid boy can't read,

you ain't never goin'
to amount to nothin'!

He ain't stupid, Daddy!

Daddy!

Come on!

Get on back home. Now!

Get on up.
You got work to do.

Come on! Come on, get on home!

You let him alone!

Daddy, no!

I will bust you open,
you dirty German!

What'd you call me?

I fought the Germans in France.

And I fought 'em
in the trenches.

And I pray to God no one ever has
to see the things that I saw.

You're my best friend.

Daddy, wait!

Daddy, wait.

Adolf Hitler builds
the German military machine

and drags all
of Europe into war.

But even while France falls to Hitler,
America still refuses to join the fighting.

Where's McCawley and Walker?

Still training, sir.

All right, Danny.
Let's show 'em how to fly.

We're gonna play chicken.
You ready?

This ain't the farm,
these ain't crop dusters.

I'm not playing
chicken with you.

Now, don't be a baby.

I'm not doing it, Rafe.

I'm coming right at you.

You can turn, or you can
hit me, it's up to you.

What the...
Oh, boy.

Why you always bustin'
my ass, Rafe?

Which way you goin'?

I guess I'll go right.
No, uh, left. I'll go left.

Okay, we're goin' left, right?
Ri... Uh, right. Right?

Right like we're going right,
or right like we're going left?

Well, now you got me all mixed up!
I don't know. Make up your mind.

God, Rafe, we're going right!
Righty-tighty!

Those are some smooth aces.

Did you say something?

'Cause let me tell ya,
those farm boys are grounded!

Yes, sir, an entirely unacceptable
use of m-m-military aircraft, sir.

Get my hat.
Yes, sir.

Get those hedge-hoppers
in Doolittle's office.

After two years of training,

you believe that a $45,000 airplane
is there for your amusement?

No, sir. I was just trying
to keep my edge, Major.

When you did the outside loop last
week, what did you think that was?

Honing your skills?

That's not training, McCawley.
That's a stunt.

And I personally consider it to
be reckless and irresponsible.

Major.

How could that be,
when you're famous for being

the first man in the world
ever to do it.

Don't get cute with me, son.

No, sir, I don't mean
to be disrespectful.

I just think that...

Well, it is reckless
and irresponsible

if you're just doing it
to be a show-off.

But I was doing it to try
to inspire the men, sir,

in the way that
you've inspired me.

I believe the French
even have a word for that,

when the men get together
to honor their leaders.

They call it an homage, sir.

A what?
An homage, sir.

That's bullshit, McCawley!

But it's very,
very good bullshit.

Thank you, sir.

McCawley, you remind me
of myself 15 years ago.

Which is why we need
to discuss this.

Have a seat, son.

The British have accepted you
into the Eagle Squadron.

You're on your way
to England tomorrow,

if you still want to go.

Wow.

Just a few British pilots
are all that stand between

Hitler and total
victory in Europe.

They're gonna need all
the help they can get.

Yes, sir. Well, I'm on my way.

Just for the record,

I'm supposed to
ask you to reconsider.

Sir?

Sooner or later we're gonna be in
this war whether we like it or not.

And I'm gonna need
all of my best pilots.

So it's my duty
to ask you to stay.

Major... What would you do?

If it was me...

I'd go.

Get out. Am I going
bald right back here?

Ooh!

Man, I am one good-lookin'
son of a bitch.

Don't you ever die.

Die. That's exactly
the concept

you gotta work tonight.

You put a drop of this
clove oil under your eyes,

and you let 'em sting
and well up.

You get your nurse alone,
take a breath,

let her see your
eyes glisten, and say,

"Baby, they're
training me for war,"

"and I don't know
what'll happen,"

"but if I die tomorrow,"

"I want to know that we lived
all we could tonight."

Come on, guys!
We got nurses waitin'.

Come on, before the rest
of his hair falls out.

How could you do this?

Well, Doolittle assigned me.

He wanted me to get some real...
Real combat training in.

Well, guess what. It's not
training over there. It's war.

Where the losers die,

and there aren't any winners,

just guys who turn into
broken-down wrecks

like my father.

I understand that, Danny.

But I feel like
I got a duty to go.

Don't preach to me
about duty, dammit.

I wear the same uniform you do.

Now, if trouble wants me,

I'm ready for it.

But why go looking for it?

God, Danny, come on.

I'm gonna be 25.
I might as well be an old man.

They're gonna have me
bein' a flight instructor.

I don't wanna teach loops
and barrel rolls.

I wanna be a combat fighter.

Hey, come on! The nurses
can't d-d-dance by themselves.

Let's go.

If the call of duty means seeing 150
men in their underwear every day,

we are here to serve.

I can't believe it. Saturday
night in New York City.

Do you know what they're doing
where I come from? Nothing.

Cow-tipping.

That's why you joined
the navy, hon.

To get out of that dusty
little town and see the world.

May I remind you, Barbara, we're
navy nurses, not tourists.

I joined to do my patriotic
duty and... To meet guys.

Me, too.

Girls, we're gonna have so
much fun tonight in the city.

You gotta tell them the story,
Evelyn.

What?

Oh, come on. Tell us.

Oh, it's such a long story.

We got time.

I saw it happen.

Well, it was
about four weeks ago...

What do you think
is b-b-better?

All in the one cheek,
or spreading them out?

Okay.

Fusco, Anthony.

You all right, buddy?

Sweetie, do you really
have to do this?

I'm not gonna get yellow fever
in my barracks.

No? If you'd rather,
she can do it.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Just gimme a minute.

Honey, the government
says stick 'em, we stick 'em.

Hey, Red,
you all right?

Eye exam number four?

Listen, Doc, I have passed
a dozen medical checks.

You write that, they won't let me fly.
Sorry, son.

I'm gonna fail. They're
gonna take my wings away.

No, they won't. Just relax.

Read the bottom line, please.

Keep practicin' the bottom line. And
don't worry. I'm right behind you.

J-L-M-K-P-O...

Thank you.

Next.

Ma'am.

J-L-M-K-P-O-E-T-X.

Eyes like an eagle, ma'am.

Slow down, flyboy.

And, instead of the bottom,
read the very top. Both eyes.

Yeah.

C... Sorry, J.

C...

W.
W.

Q.
Uh, Q.

Uh, Q.

Read the bottom
line again, please.

But read it right to left,

and every other letter.

E...

X.

X-E.
X-E.

X-E, ma'am.

Ma'am, I know how this looks.

I'm sorry, Lieutenant, I really am. But
army and navy requires 20/20 vision.

Oh, I... It's... It's not

a problem with my eyes.

I mean, I can see.

I can hit a running rabbit
with a $3 pistol.

I got a problem
with letters, that's all.

Maybe after some schooling

you could come back
and take the test again.

No, I had schooling.

The teachers just never
knew what to make of it.

It's just letters. I mix 'em up sometimes.
That's all.

I just get 'em
backward sometimes.

Look here.

My math and spatial reasoning and
my verbal scores are all excellent.

But you barely passed
the written exam.

Yeah, but he did pass it.
So, is it my turn now?

No, you'll wait your turn.
Yes, ma'am.

Ma'am, I-I'm never gonna
be an English teacher.

But I know why I'm here.
To be a pilot.

And you don't
dogfight with manuals.

You don't fly with gauges.

It's all about
feeling and speed.

And lettin' that plane become
like a part of your body.

And that manual says

that a guy who's a slow reader

can't be a good pilot.

That file says I'm the best
pilot in this room.

Ma'am...

Please, don't take my wings.

Well, I felt so bad.

Evelyn, rotate to station three.

I had no choice. I passed him.

So, then this
cocky pilot comes back.

Say, fella, are you enlisted?
Yeah.

"Yeah?" Boy, you're
talking to an officer.

Yes, sir. Sorry, sir.

Give me that file.
Yes, sir.

Parade rest.
Yes, sir.

Ma'am, I didn't get
a chance to thank you.

Drop your skivvies.

Oh... Okay.

Just like this?

That's fine.

He did have a very cute butt.

You know, I know you didn't
have to pass me, and you did.

And I just... I didn't think
you'd understand, and you did.

You know, you still
haven't said thank you.

Thank you.
You're welcome.

Why'd you do it?
I mean, I'm just curious.

You're like my hero now.

Actually, my father was a pilot.

And I've seen first-hand

what happens when
a pilot loses his wings.

You know what? Your father's
my hero, then, too.

In fact, as an officer,

I think it'd be my duty

to take my new hero's daughter
out tonight just to...

Argh!

Gosh, did I poke too deep?

I think you hit the bone there.

You are so mean.

What? So is... Is there any chance
that you might, kind of, sort of,

you know, like me, or...

How did you guess?

They never taught us

how to deal I with this...
Feeling.

Wh-what feeling?

Well, it's kind
of like... This.

Ow!

Well, he was getting fresh,
so I poked him again.

All right, Romeo.
I want to get this over with.

Hold on a second.

Miss...
I really, really lick you.

What did he mean?

Like you.

I didn't mean to say that.

And I just, um...

I just want to ask you, please,
if I can donate dinner.

He started to act
very strange.

Or, well, buy you dinner.

This isn't your chart.

Whoa.

No. That's the, uh, this,
uh, fellow over here's.

I think he left. Have you
already had this shot?

Yeah, well, once... Already.

Well, I wanted...
I mean, can I ask you out?

No!

And he just went wham!

Oh! What'd you do to him?

Poor guy.

Hey!

Hey!

Oh, my God. Are you Okay?

Uh, yeah.
I'm fine. I feel great.

This is just standard
precautionary... Thing.

Look, I got some, uh,
genuine French champagne...

From France.

And I thought, you know,
maybe we could celebrate.

Celebrate what?

Oh, I don't know. Uh...

You being my hero, for one.

Okay. Why not?

So, uh...

I wanted to thank you.

And I just wanted to, uh...

Put your mind at ease
about passing me,

because I really do think you
did this country a service.

I'm... I am a great flier.

And if you have a fault,
which you obviously don't,

it's modesty.

No. If I have a fault...
It's candor.

You are just so...

Uh, cork just got away from me.

God, it hurts.

It hurts something fierce.

I'm sorry.

It's bleeding.

Ohh!
Lay still.

I ruined everything.
Oh, it hurts.

Ow! It's cold. It'll
stop the bleeding.

I can't breathe.
Lay still.

You are so beautiful it hurts.

It's your nose that hurts.

No. I think it's my heart.

And then I kissed him.

Oh, Evelyn. That's the most
romantic story I ever heard.

It's been the most romantic four
weeks and two days of my life.

I'm so jealous.

Hello, Lieutenant.
It's good to see you.

You, too, Lieutenant.

Pick a hand.

It's beautiful.

What's in your other hand?

Mine.

Well, it took me
six hours to fold these.

I want you to meet my friends.

Rafe, this is Martha,
Barbara, Sandra...

Hi. I'm Betty.
Hi.

Would you happen
to have any friends?

Take your pick.

Hi.

Whoo!

We ever get in this war
and somethin' happens to me,

I can't tell you how good
it makes me feel to know

that someone as sweet as you will be
there to nurse me back to health.

Good, but we're not
in the war yet.

Okay. That was a bad line.

Hi.

I'm... I'm Red.

Red...
S-s-s-s-strange.

Your last name's Strange?

Yeah.
She's all yours, soldier.

No. It... it's Winkle.

Red is such a ladies' man.

Do you always stutter?

No. Only when I'm...

She's totally buying it.

Nervous?
Yeah.

Why can't I get
something like that?

Hello.

Hi.

Danny seems kind
of shy around the girls.

It's not that he's shy.

He's just...

A little unsure of himself,
you know.

His old man used to
run him down a lot.

Get him in a plane,
he's sure of himself.

He's like my brother. He's like my
best friend. He's my right hand.

Which at the moment is a
long way south of my waist.

Oh, I'm sorry.

I guess I lost
a little altitude.

Yeah, I guess you did.

Excuse me.

You and me, we got to talk.

So, the rumor is the navy's
shipping us to Pearl Harbor.

Well, won't be so bad.

It's about as far
from the fighting

as you can get.

You'll get a suntan.

So maybe the army'll
post you guys there, too.

You... Are a super
special woman.

And... And, well...

Well, they're... They're training
me to be a big bad warrior, and,

whoa...

So, I mean, you never know what
might happen tomorrow, or...

Or any day after that, you know?

So...

God, we need to make
tonight super-special.

Why are you crying?

I guess it's the thought that I might
not ever get to see you again.

Dry your eyes, toots.
Tonight, you're mine.

I don't want to be
with a crowd tonight.

I just want to be
alone with you.

How does New York
Harbor by moonlight sound?

Ohh!

Are you gonna be
a bad influence?

Of course I'm a bad influence.

Let's see if we can commandeer this vessel
'cause we're officers of the US Government.

Not for long,
we won't be.

One day, we'll take a trip
on a boat like that.

Would you like that?

We'll be dressing for cocktails
and walk into the grand salon.

No one's talking about war. They're
just dancing to Cole Porter.

I'll have to get a tux.
Yeah.

Come on. There you go.
All aboard.

You're out of your mind.

Yeah. Careful now.
Here, sit down.

Now, let's see here.

Ah!

There we go.

See, this is as close as
I could get you to your ship.

So, at least I tried, right?

Actually, you know what?
This is better.

Yeah, it is.

God, you're pretty.

What's gonna become
of us all, Rafe?

Well, the future's not exactly

in our hands, is it?

No. I guess
you're right.

Agh!
Agh!

Oh, my God! Are you all right?

Yeah, are you?

That was not part of the date.

Watch your step.
Oh, thank you.

Evelyn!
Guys, come up! Come on up!

Come up! We're in 321.

There's something
I gotta tell you.

You got no secrets from me, Lieutenant.
I've seen your medical chart.

This can't be good, or it
wouldn't be so hard to say.

Yep.

I gotta go away.

We're all going away.

Yeah.

But I'm going to
the war... Tomorrow.

I'm flying with
the Eagle Squadron.

It's an outfit the British
started for American pilots.

I don't understand.

You're in the US army.

How could they order you to go?

They didn't order me.

I volunteered.

But I passed you.

I let you through.

And now you volunteer

for the most dangerous
place you could go?

It's not your responsibility,
not your choice.

Flying's the only thing
I ever wanted to do.

I mean, everything in my life
has led me up to this point.

Meeting you.

I love you.

I love you so much.

Let's go inside.

All right. Wait a minute.
Wait a minute.

Just... I can't do this. This just...
It's not right. I'm sorry. I just...

See, I can't do this. I mean...
I mean, I can. I... I want to.

I'm not trying to be noble,
you know.

Or not saying I know what would happen
or just... I need to stop talking.

I just don't want... I just don't
want it to be like everybody else.

I don't want you
to have anything

about tonight that you regret.

I mean, it's been the most
incredible night of my life,

and I don't want to ruin that.

Oh, you couldn't ruin it.

If I had one more night to live,

I'd want to spend it with you.

See, that's what I want
to come home to.

That's what I want to have

to think about and dream about.

I want to know that
the best part of my life

is still ahead of me.

Look.

Don't, um...

Could you...

Not come see me off?

Because, uh...

Saying goodbye to you
once is hard enough.

Here.

Take this.

Why? You think it
looks good on me?

I will come back.

I thought you said
you told her not to come.

Yeah, I did.

Why are you
looking for her, then?

It's my test.

If I tell her not to come,
and she comes anyway

then I...
I know she loves me.

All aboard! Track 57!

If, uh, anything happens to me,

I want you to be the one to tell her.
All right?

You just make sure and come back

for the both of us, all right?

Okay.

See you when I get back. Yeah.

Good hunting, Rafe.

Evelyn!

Evelyn!

Evelyn! Evelyn.

Hey!

She loves me.

The German Luftwaffe
relentlessly bombards downtown London,

while Churchill's Royal Air
Force is in a deadly struggle

to maintain control
of the British skies.

This is a real mess.

Lieutenant McCawley
reporting for duty, sir.

Good. We'll get you
settled into your quarters,

and then introduce you
to the crate you'll be flying.

Yes, sir. Well, if y'all are patching up
bullet holes right here on the runway

maybe we ought to skip housekeeping
and get me right into an airplane.

Two didn't come back, sir.
We counted only 11.

Are all Yanks as anxious as you

to get themselves killed,
Pilot Officer?

No, sir.
Just anxious to matter.

This is yours.

Good chap.

Didn't die till he'd landed
and shut down his engine.

Please be seated, gentlemen.

I'm afraid I'm in a bad mood.

Churchill and Stalin are
asking me what I'm asking you.

How long is America

going to pretend

the world is not at war?

We've increased food and oil supply
shipments to them, Mr. President,

and as far as I know...

What they really need
are tanks, planes, bullets,

bombs, and men to fight.

But our people think Hitler and his
Nazi thugs are Europe's problem.

We have to do more.

Send the Brits and Russians
more of our ships

and anti-aircraft weapons.

And keep cannibalizing
the Pacific Fleet?

What choice do we have?

We're building refrigerators

while our enemies build bombs.

This is so exciting.

You know there's about
100 ships on Pearl.

How many
sailors per ship?

It depends. More on
a battleship than a sub.

But say, on average... 2,000.

Then there's the fliers,
the marines, base personnel.

I'm still working
on the sailors.

Girls, I think the odds
are in your favor.

Yeah, like 4,000 to one.

It's paradise.

See you on the beach, boys!

We're in Hawaii!

Hey! You know you're not
supposed to be painting

titties on the side
of my airplanes.

And if you do,
don't make 'em lopsided.

They were lopsided, Earl.

Look, it says right here, "Never ride waves
amongst rocks or submerged pilings."

See, it says
you shouldn't do that, Gooz.

Well, how the hell you gonna know
they're submerged if they're submerged?

Well, there's also
a chapter here on morons.

Gooz, what in the hell
are you doing?

Just trying to fix
this surfboard thing of his.

He keeps taking chunks
off his nose on the rocks.

I thought I'd come in on my day
off, work on my new invention,

the Gooz Cruise Fin.

I'm gonna be a rich fella. Every surfboard
in the nation's gonna need one.

Yeah? Well,
you're gonna need a broom.

Check out
these new recruits.

Hi.
Aloha.

Y'all pilots?

We're working on it. It's a
lot of switches and stuff.

Pride of the Pacific.

Who are you?

Terrors of the skies.

- Welcome, ladies.
- Hi.

I have to deal with a toasty sunburnt
fanny before I can show you around.

Ow!

Dear Evelyn.

It's different than I thought
it would be here.

It's cold,

so cold it goes deep
into your bones.

There is one place
I can go to find warmth.

That is to think of you.

I just wish I could be
back there with you.

It's not easy making friends.

Two days ago, I had a beer with
a couple of the RAF pilots.

Yesterday,
both of them got killed.

Dear Rafe.

I miss you so much.

It's so strange to be
half a world away from you.

I'm right on his tail!

Got one!

Every night
I look at the sunset

and try to draw the last ounce
of heat from its long day

and send it from
my heart to yours.

Family?

Girl, sir.

The girl.

A lot of people frown on the Yanks
for not being in this war yet.

I'd just like to say,

if there are many more
back home like you,

God help anyone who
goes to war with America.

Ten hut!

Attention on deck!

Admiral Kimmel, Commander-in-Chief,
Pacific Fleet, on deck.

Sharp presentation, Captain.
Thank you, Admiral Kimmel.

For four months now Washington's
been blowing pink smoke

about the threat from Japan.

Could make us lose
our fighting edge.

I'm determined not
to let that happen.

With your permission, Captain.
Admiral, urgent, from Washington.

I'm supposed to keep
this fleet battle-ready

to take on the Japanese,

cover half the damn globe.

Now they want me to transfer another
12 destroyers to the Atlantic.

Don't they know
what we're facing out here?

They feel Europe is the
greater danger, Admiral.

I'm assuming these risk
assessments include Hawaii.

Well, Pearl Harbor is too shallow
for an aerial torpedo attack.

We're surrounded by sub nets.

All we have to worry
about here is sabotage,

so we bunched our planes together
to make them easier to protect.

Distance is our ally, Admiral.

You analysts got it
all figured out, don't you?

The smart enemy

hits you exactly where
you think you're safe.

Incoming!

I fixed the hydraulics
and electrical systems, sir,

but the oil hoses
still need attention.

Just crank it, Ian!

God speed you, sir.

Red section, take the bombers.

Blue section,
look out for the fighters.

Bombers dead ahead.

Let's drop in on 'em and
give 'em a reception.

Red Two, follow my lead, high side.
Go right at the lead bomber.

Following you, Red One.

Good hit! Good hit!

Red One, coming around,
reset for the kill.

I have the middle bomber.

Hammer down!

We got him.
Nice shot, Red Two.

I got two MEs dead ahead.

I'm on him. I'm on his tail.

Hammer down.

I got one of them!

I got another one.

Red One, you got fighters
all over your tail!

I'm under fire!
I'm taking fire!

Red One, get out of there.
Pull up! Pull up!

Agh! I got an oil leak.

Can't see a damn thing!

I can't bail! My canopy's stuck!
I can't bail out!

He's on my tail, Red Two.

I'm hit! I'm hit!

Mayday! Mayday!

Oh, my God.

I'm no good at church.

What do you mean,
sweetie?

Well, whenever I'm up there
getting my slate wiped clean,

I can't help but think of how
I'm gonna dirty it up again.

And this from a virgin!

I gotta inventory supplies.

Kill me now. Could you
be any more boring?

Don't bother.
Sunday, she writes Rafe.

Ten pages instead
of the usual five.

Gosh, I wish I was in love.

Hey, sweetheart.

She hates me.

Got no in with this girl.

There's your strange little Red.

Good to see you, Red.

Sure good to
see you, too, Betty.

What are you doing? You wanna
come for a ride? Come on.

Yeah, I'll be your chauffeur.

That-a-boy! Be a mad dog!

You hit pretty hard...
For a cook.

All right, Walker, who you got?
Come on. Fight's almost over.

I'll take the cook.

Why? You don't like money?

Come on! Get out there now!

I'll put five on it.

Done.

Against a mechanic?

That guy craps rivets.

How's it feel up from that dark
engine room? Sunlight botherin' you?

Ow.

Man, he's getting
all busted up in there!

Move! Move!

Come here. We gotta talk.
Get down here.

He can't hurt us.

He can hurt us.

He cut us. We bleeding.

Bleeding?

That's a scratch.
You see this here?

This here's the hard-earned
greenbacks

of every pot-scrubbin', dish
washin' chop in this here fleet.

Now if we don't win,
then Teeny here has to

find himself another battleship!

'Cause there's no way I'm going
back to the Arizona empty-handed.

It ain't about the money.

I'ma send that smug

engine-fixin' snipe back
below decks where he belong.

We the man!
We the man!

He slapped your momma,
remember? Be a son of a bitch!

Look at this!
All right, Dorie!

Oh!

That's enough.
That's enough.

Oh! Where's my money?
Nah, fight's rigged.

We're rich!

How'd you get this?

Boxing.

Did you win?
Yes, ma'am.

What do you get for winning?

Respect.

So, why do you have to fight
with your fists to get respect?

I left my momma in Texas and
joined the navy to see the world,

become a man.

They made me a cook.

Not even that. I clean up
after other sailors eat.

Two years, they never even

let me fire a weapon.

Well, let's hope
you never have to.

Yes, ma'am.

You take care,
Petty Officer Miller.

You too, ma'am.

You know,
he taught me to fly.

I always knew that no matter
what kind of trouble I got into,

I'd never be in it alone.

He'd be there with me.

Up there he was always
pushing me

to be better and faster.

He told me you were
a great flier.

It was the same night
he told me...

He'd volunteered
to go to England.

Volunteered?

He... He told me
he'd been assigned.

He was always
trying to protect me.

But you know what?
I look at myself in the mirror

in this uniform,

and I still don't know who I am.

I look like a hero...

But I don't feel like it.

Rafe...

He always looked the part,
didn't he?

He couldn't wait to be one.

To Rafe McCawley.

The best pilot... And the
best friend I ever knew...

Or ever will know.

To Rafe.

Look at this. Look at this. The Japanese are
flooding the Pacific with radio traffic.

Everywhere from the Panama Canal

to southeast Asia.

There's no logical pattern
in it, Captain.

No. There's always logic.

They know we read their mail.

They're trying to make us think
their fleet is moving south.

I'm not buying it.

Something... Something's up.

Otherwise, why would they take
the trouble to bullshit me?

Evelyn, I signed for these
letters for you today.

They're from England.

They're from Rafe.

I'm sorry, Ev.

You know how long
it takes mail to get here.

Hurry up!
Show time, boys! Come on!

America still awaits
Japan's response to peace proposals.

Ambassador Nomura
arrives in Washington

in what could hopefully guarantee
continued peace in the Pacific.

On the British front,
Churchill declares,

"Give us the tools,
and we will finish the job."

The RAF has fought bravely

against Hitler's ambition to
rule the skies over the Channel.

Victory does not come
without sacrifice.

Evelyn!

Danny.
Hey.

Some comedy, huh?

Yeah.

It's been a while.

I've been logging
a lot of flight hours.

I've kinda been
avoiding you, too.

Yeah.

Look...
Do you...

Do you want to?
Sure, yeah.

I remember this one time
when I was, like, seven years old.

I was always building
gadgets and things.

He told me he wanted me to
build him some wings

so that he could fly like
his daddy, dusting crops.

I told him you can't fly without
some kind of engine, right?

But he wouldn't listen.
You know, he told me,

"Danny, never mind all that,
just build 'em anyway."

So I did.

And I'm up there strapping

these big ol' wings on his back

that we made from paper and glue

and these massive

silk bloomers that we stole.

He looked so stupid,
you know, and I told him,

"You can't jump off the barn
in these."

And bam!

He busted his leg on a backhoe.

God, I miss him.

Yeah.

But don't you think that Rafe

wasn't back up there next day,

cast and everything,

telling me to make some
adjustments on those wings.

Check this out!
Crossroads of the Pacific.

Tahiti... 1700 miles!

All right!

Say, Betty...

W-wou...

No, Betty! Get up!

What's going on, Red?

You gotta stand up, please.

What do you mean, get up?

Just stand up.

Stand...

Ohh!

Betty... BILLY: Red, come on!

We got a dinner reservation.

Can I get a minute?

What's the matter, you sick?

Can a guy propose?

Oh! Those two!

Am I talking too much? Sometimes
I do that, I'm sorry.

Hold up!

Look at this.

Hello!

Okay, let's get out of here.
Okay.

I guess I should go.

Don't let it be three months
before I see you again, all right?

I had a good time.
Yeah, me too.

Do you want me to walk you home?

No, I'll be fine.

No... Of course.

Good night.

I was just wondering if maybe
I could come by sometime,

get a cup of coffee
or a piece of pie?

What am I doing?

Okay.

Oh! You were asleep.
I'm sorry.

Danny? You're not even
wearing any clothes.

Is something wrong?

No! There's nothing wrong.
There's no problem. Hi!

It's just Danny.

I... Just... You...

You forgot this.

Oh... Thanks.

It was good of you
to take the trouble

to drop it over... Now.

I... Well, I thought
you might need it.

You know...
Maybe tomorrow morning.

If... Not that you wear
this to work, but...

No... It's a hankie.

Right, right. Yeah.

Listen, I was thinking maybe...

I could come by sometime
and give you a call.

If I gave you a call,
could I come by sometime?

Once, maybe, if you're not busy?

Yeah, maybe.

Maybe?
Maybe.

Okay. All right.

Thanks. Good night. Goodbye.
Good night.

You are such an idiot!

Did you have fun last night?

It wasn't how it looked.

And if it was,
it'd be all right.

It's been months.
It's time to move on.

- I am moving on.
- Ev, don't lie.

All I know is, I hear you crying
when you think I'm asleep.

When my dad left, I was too
much for my mom to handle,

so she sent me
to live with my aunt.

I thought my life was over, but you
don't know where it's all gonna lead.

If I hadn't have run away and lied
about my age and enlisted in the navy,

I wouldn't have met Red, and...

Now he's my fiance.

Oh, God, I can't get used
to that word.

It's only been 12 hours.

Oh, Betty!

Little Betty beat us
all to the post.

And this is ward three.
As you can see, no patients.

Welcome to Hawaii. Come on,
I'll show you the bar.

Sandra, new recruits
to torture. Come on.

Excuse me, ladies?
Hi!

We're gonna wait two years until
I'm 19, and Red can buy me a ring.

Rafe sent his best friend
to tell you

so you would be okay,

so you can move on.

You gotta go on living, Ev.

Red!

Whoo! Sorry!

The Japanese fleet is missing.

They're operating
under radio silence.

This footage was shot
four days ago on October 28th.

We're sending scout planes in wider
vectors all over the Pacific,

but they get nothing.

They could be anywhere in here.

I don't understand how two whole
carrier divisions can just disappear.

Clear!

We're all over the page. We got one
wall-eyed and one pigeon-toed.

Anthony, tap in number six.
All right.

Gooz...
Yeah.

Tap in number three.
All right.

Hey. We got a visitor.

Oh... That ain't no
navy-issue uniform, right?

Danny, it's Evelyn.

Jesus!

You all right?

Yeah. Yeah.

No. I think I'm fallin'
for her.

Wow. You know,
I saw this coming.

I didn't want this to happen.

It just kind of did.
Can't help it.

Danny, she's gotta be with somebody.
It might as well be you.

You telling me if you
were dead and you saw

your best buddy doin' your girl,

you wouldn't come back and beat
the living crap outta him?

Tony, back off.

I'd be back so fast.

Danny's being a better friend
taking care of her himself.

I got a girlfriend.

That's great. Come on, fellas.
Let's split.

Danny, whatever happens now
is just about you and her.

You gotta try
and forget about Rafe.

Be careful, all right?
Ladies... Cloud the mind.

Thanks, Gooz.
You're welcome.

Hey, Danny.

Where's everybody going?

Just bein' discreet.

Does it seem like everybody's
acting a little strange?

No. No.

Right.

Well, maybe...
Maybe a little. Yeah.

People in this outfit have
way too much

time on their hands.
Oh, yeah.

I just hope they don't think

there's been something goin'
on between us, that's all.

Oh, no. I mean, no. I mean, that
would be embarrassing, right?

Forgot my wrenches.

That would definitely
be embarrassing.

Yeah.

Hi. Forgot my wrenches.

Hey. He really doesn't
have to leave.

No.

I, uh...

I'm just goin' out
with the girls, so...

I guess I'll see you later.

Yeah.

All right.

Yeah, all right.
I'll see you around.

Shit.

Evelyn.

Have you ever seen
Pearl Harbor at sunset?

Of course.
Well... From the air?

You know, I could get kicked
out of the military for this.

Really?

Yeah. Stay down.

The Hawaiians
called this harbor Wai Momi.

It means
"water of pearls."

It's so beautiful.

My dad took me up
a couple of times.

Just don't do what he did.

What do you call it
when you flip over?

A barrel roll?

Yeah.

I won't.

Oh!

Oh, God.

What do you think?

I like that.

Hey! That plane was supposed
to be back here an hour ago!

Quick, hide in
the parachute hangar.

My heart is pounding.

Danny, last night...

No, that's terrible.

Danny, we need to talk
about this.

Sir. Evelyn!

Danny.
Hey. Hi.

Hi.

I didn't sleep a wink
last night.

I had to see you.

Last night was crazy, I know,
but... I'm not sorry. Are you?

I don't know.

Danny, I had a wonderful
time last night. I...

It's just all too fast.

Listen, Evelyn, I was just
down at the beach this morning

and I watched the sunrise, and I knew
that everything was gonna be different.

That this was the start
of something new.

In this place, in this moment.

And I don't care what
anybody else says, you know?

How can I not feel this way?

I kinda like you.

Oh, you do?

You have your tie on crooked.

Everything's gonna be
all right, okay?

Everything's gonna be all right.

Do you have any air tours

going through
the valley of Oahu?

You do?

Aloha.
This is KGMB in Honolulu

on another beautiful
fall day here in paradise.

We have
enough information.

We are returning home.

Evelyn, can you please come out of the
bathroom? You've been there for an hour.

Evelyn! What are you trying
to do, look like me?

Are you okay?

Yeah.

What's the matter?
No, you...

They call it the vacant sea. None of
the major sea lanes go through it.

You could bury the entire land mass
of Asia there and nobody would know.

From there, they could
attack anywhere.

Our last signals intercept indicate that
the Japanese task force is heading south

towards the Philippines
or southeast Asia.

But Captain Thurman
of Naval Intelligence here

has his own theory
about the missing ships.

Sir, I believe
they'll try to hit us

where it'll hurt us the most,
Pearl Harbor.

It's over 4,000 nautical
miles from Japan to Pearl.

That's a long distance
to steam a navy, Captain.

Your theory is based on what?

Well, it's what I would do.

That's not exactly hard
evidence, Captain Thurman.

Admiral, if I had hard evidence,
we'd already be at war.

Sir, we can read their diplomatic
codes faster than they can type them.

Captain Thurman's cryptology team is
still trying to crack the naval codes.

The intercepts have missing
words and garbled lines,

so to explain the decrypts,
we have to try to interpret

what we think
they're trying to do.

Interpret? You mean guess.

They use their informed
intuition, sir.

We guess.

It's like playing
chess in the dark.

Any rumor, troop movement,
ship movement,

spine-tingle, goose bump,
we pay attention to it.

When I was in the Asiatic Fleet,

the locals used to try
to get outside of a problem

to try to see the inside.

I see a strike on Pearl. It's the
worst thing that could happen.

A blow to Pearl would devastate

the Pacific Fleet's
ability to make war.

So, sir, you would have us
mobilize the entire fleet

at the cost of millions
of dollars,

based on this spine-tingling
feeling of yours?

No, sir. I understand
my job is to gather

and interpret material.

Making difficult decisions

based on incomplete information

from my limited decoding ability

is your job, sir.

Then break the damn
naval code, Captain,

so I can make a better decision.

Aye, sir. We are trying.

Gets scarier every day
we can't find this fleet.

I wonder if we shouldn't
put the Pacific Fleet

on full alert.

In case the optimism of the Honolulu
Advertiser proves unfounded, gentlemen,

what are General Short and the army
going to do about protecting my ships?

Within a ten-mile radius
of your harbor,

we have fighter planes
here at Wheeler,

bombers at Hickam, and a
training strip at Haleiwa.

We've recently established
a radar station here

that can detect planes
125 miles out.

Which is a month old,
Admiral, and untested.

I've seen these
new radar screens, Major.

There's no way of telling whether they're
ours, theirs, or a flock of damn birds.

I'm intercepting a call from
Tokyo to somewhere close by Pearl.

There's a call from Tokyo.
They say they don't know you.

Hello? Hai.

It's a local dentist. He can
see Pearl Harbor from his office.

Are there many sailors around?

Uh, the dentist says that the
flat ships are not in port.

They're talking about
the weather.

He doesn't seem to know
who he's talking to.

Hello?

Hello? Moshi moshi.

Hello?

That was a strange call.

Admiral, may I speak
to you in private?

Why would a spy use a phone? They
know we tap all international lines.

Our listeners feel
it's probably not code talk.

It sounds like someone
in Japan is sneaking around,

asking a local citizen the
location of our carriers.

Well, that makes me feel
all warm inside.

Get the FBI on it immediately.

Have we found the goddamn
Japanese fleet yet?

No, Admiral. The bases are
looking all over the Pacific.

So the entire fleet could be
rounding Diamond Head

and we wouldn't
know a thing about it.

Get on it.

I'm alive.

This is the first
I could get word out.

Qu'est-ce que c'est ca,
la-bas? C'est un homme!

Je pense qu'il est mort!
C'est sur?

Il est encore en vie, les gars!

I told you I'd come back.

Here, sit down.
Sit down. Come here.

It's okay.

It's all right.

You're real.

Yeah.

I wished for this every day.

I know. Me too.

Every second. So did I.

I thought you were dead.

They said you were shot
down in the sea.

Yeah, I was.

I was in the ocean.
It was so cold.

I missed you.

I got picked up
by a French fishing boat.

I was in occupied France,
and I couldn't get word out.

I'll tell you all
about it, I promise.

But I'm fine. I'm okay.

And I'm here now.

Evelyn...

I just wanted to see you.

You're so beautiful.

I love you.

Hey, it's okay. It's okay.

Evelyn. Evelyn, I'm back.

It's okay. I won't leave
you again, I promise.

Rafe, you died.

And so did I.

I know, but I'm... I'm...

It's fine now. I'm back.

We're together.

I mean, we are together...

Right?

I don't know where I am.

Rafe.

Rafe.

Stay away.

Rafe.

This is Radio Honolulu,
playing the sweetest music

on the sweetest island
in the Pacific.

It's a beautiful December 6th,
with beautiful music...

Rafe!

Oh, goddammit.
There you go.

A real live ace!

An ace is only five.
I shot down six MEs.

And I got two smokers, too.
They don't count them.

Of course, I got shot down
myself before they could pin me.

You got back from
behind enemy lines, huh?

What's that combat like?

Were you scared?

Hey! One at a time.

Well, them Luftwaffe boys
can fly pretty good.

It's not like, you know, training.
They're, uh...

Danny.

They're all about tactics
is what it is.

See, the Nazis, right,
they're faster than you are,

so they disappear
and get up in the soup

and throw like a roll or a hammerhead
and come around on your high side,

shoot you from behind...
Like some Americans will.

Hey...

Gooz, you're lookin'
at a real live ace.

Let me give you
the shirt off my back!

Aloha! There you go!

I'll take it from you.

I can see how y'all been
spending your time out here.

Hey, Rafe, we gotta talk,
all right?

I got nothin' to talk
about with you. Here.

Why don't you have a drink?

I'll make a toast.

To returning from the dead. Wasn't all
I expected, but, well, that's life.

To my best friend
and loyal buddy Danny

for keepin' up the war
effort back here at home.

Where I come from, somebody makes a
toast to you and you don't drink,

that's sayin' something.

All right, Rafe.
That's how it's gonna be.

To you.

You guys need to spend
some time alone, I think.

Hell, no, Red. Come on.

No, no, no.
We're celebratin' here.

Me over there fightin',

almost gettin' killed,

my friend Danny back here

lookin' after
my interests for me.

Y'all know,
Danny was even good enough

to look out for my girl
for me while I was gone.

We thought you were dead, Rafe.

And it gutted us both.

We were just tryin'
to get on with our lives.

Life is good, ain't it, Danny?

You're a rotten drunk.

You always have been.

Well, you're a lousy friend.
That's a new development.

You left her to fight
somebody else's war

and you made damn sure
that I didn't go with you,

and we thought
that you were dead...

I almost did die,
you little son of a bitch!

Her face was the last thing

that went through my mind,

so don't stand here and tell
me to act like it's all right!

Yeah, Rafe. Well, I stayed.

I stayed, and you
made sure of that,

and some things changed.

And I hope you can
get used to that.

Oh, I have to get used to it?

Yeah.

All right. We'll see

how I can get used to it.

Get used to that, boy!

Hey, hey!

And that's my left hand, too!
Hey, hey, hey!

Come on!

Melee at the Hula-la.
Send the MPs!

You calling me a lousy friend?

Ow! Shit!

Come on, Danny!

Go get 'em!

They're gonna
throw us in the brig.

Let's get outta here.

Oh, shit.

Rafe... You're the only
family I got.

When you were gone,

it was the loneliest
I'd ever been.

The same for her, too.

Oh, boy, now you're really
breakin' my heart.

If you hadn't gone, none of
this would have happened.

Oh, so it's my fault, I guess.

Dammit, Rafe.

I just know there's got to be
some way we can work things out

so that... Things can be
right between me and you.

I just don't see how
it could ever be the same.

Revered father...

I go now to fulfill my mission
and my destiny.

I hope it is a destiny

that will bring honor
to our family,

and if it requires my life,

I will sacrifice it gladly to be
a good servant of our nation.

Hey. We got a large haze.

That's too big to be planes,
right?

Is that what you wanna do?
Knight to knight five?

Boom! Wrong move.

Lieutenant, radar's picking up a large
return moving in from the northeast.

Hang on.

Relax. It's a flight of B-17s
coming in from the mainland.

Nothing to worry about.
A heck of a lot of B-17s.

Good shot, Hop.

This better be good, Commander.

One of our destroyers reports
having fired and sunk

enemy submarine attempting to
enter Pearl Harbor at 0653.

It's 7:20!

We had decoder delays, Admiral.

Relay this to Washington.
Recall the staff.

"Failure..."

"Peace talks..."

"Useless."

Thurman here.
Tokyo transmitting

to their embassy in Washington,

"Discontinue use of your decoding
machine, and dispose of immediately."

"Special emphasis on
destroying important parts."

Do you read that?
Acknowledge.

Admiral, naval intel intercepted
a transmission From Tokyo to

the Japanese embassy
in Washington

instructing them to break
apart all decoder machines

and burn all secret documents.

The Japanese
are expecting a war.

Should we?

Warning of possible Japanese
aggressive movement in any direction.

"Broken relationship. Hostilities
imminent." But where?

Did you ever
lose a fight, Miller?

I been lucky so far, Captain.

From what I hear, it ain't luck.

Ship's proud of you, son.

Why the hell's
the navy doing practice

this early on a Sunday?

Go, go, go, go!

I'm with Navy Newsreel,
and I can tell you one thing,

them ain't navy planes!

All hands,
man your battle stations!

We're being bombed! We're being bombed!
Get up! Get up!

Jesus Christ!

Man your battle stations.
Another dumb drill.

- Man your battle stations.
- What the heck was that?

It's a bomb!

Son of a bi...

Get me the engine room!

My God.

Take cover!

Report battle stations
manned and ready!

Man your battle stations!

This is no shit!
They just sunk the Arizona!

General quarters!
General quarters!

All hands,
man your battle stations!

This is no damn drill!

They look like Japs.

I didn't even know
the Japs were sore at us!

Danny, you just get me
into a goddamn airplane!

Holy God! CAMERAMAN: This is
good footage. Did you see that?

Holy cow!

I hope there's still
an airfield left.

Hurry up!
What in the world?

Look! So many!

Everybody to the hospital!

Why's the navy
always buzzin' us?

Shut up, Red!

The Japs are here!

What the hell?
Let's go! Let's go!

- It's the Japs, they're coming!
- Get down!

Get corpsmen to the bridge.
Aye, Captain!

Repair says third
deck is flooding port side!

Get up, you cowards! Get up
there and fight! Move it!

Oh, God!
Captain!

I got you, Captain.
You radio for air cover!

Initiate damage control!

Find my XO.

Tell him to assume command.

And you make sure the gunners...

Everyone's where
they need to be, Captain.

You trained us well.

You trained us well.

Captain.

Go, go, go, go!

It's the fucking Japs!

Let's go! Let's go!
Everybody move!

Get the ammo
for that fifty-cal!

Get that fifty-cal!

Fucking Japs!

Let's go, we gotta...

Come on, man, we gotta get
this thing loaded up!

Let's go! Let's go!

Come on! Let's go! Let's go!

Get down!

Come on!

Danny, get me into a damn plane!

Come on!

Get some ammo up here!

We need some men on these guns!
Sir!

The captain says
you're in charge, sir!

We need more ammo! Now!

Send up ammunition
for the five-inch guns!

- Medic!
- All of 'em, now!

Argh!

Come on!

Come on!

Come on, you son of a bitch!

Aha! Oh, yeah!

I need a doctor!
Somebody help me!

Take a deep breath!
Come on, breathe!

Get to the supply room!

Get everything out!

Plane incoming!

Cut 'em down!

Come on, come on!
Get 'em away from the windows!

Everybody all right?

Can you stand?
Can you stand?

Hold your fire! MAN: Get to the gun!
Hurry up!

Get down, Danny!

Earl!

This is Walker! We need
to get those planes fueled

and loaded right now!

What's going on out there?
Huh?

Danny, what the hell's that noise? You
guys doin' target practice or something?

I think World War II
just started.

Go, go, go!

Billy!
Run!

It's gonna blow!

It's a dud.

It's a dud!

Get down!

Danny!
Danny, are you all right?

I'm all right!
Come on, let's go!

Come on, let's go!
Gooz, come on, man!

We're sinking! We're sinking!

Stay together!
Close the hatches!

I can't swim!
Just hang on!

Let's move it. Now!

Joe! Go! Go!

We're gettin' outta here!
Get in the car!

Get in! Get in!

Come on, let's go! Go!

Get out of the way!
Get out of the way!

Where's this place we're goin'?

We got a small mechanic runway
about ten minutes away.

Hasn't been hit yet.

We got Zeros on our six!

Duck!

We're trapped.

Try it! Try the door!

Argh!

It's sucking me back!

The current's too strong!

They're still shootin' at us!

I don't wanna die! I don't wanna die!
I don't wanna die!

This is it.

How bad?

It's still not over, sir.

An entire fleet at anchor.

My God, my God.

Barbara, fill every syringe
you can find with morphine!

Fill up the kitchen!
Are you listening to me?

Fill up the kitchen!

Over there! Over there!

We got a neck wound here!
We got a bad neck wound!

Surgery! Move!

Get him to surgery!
Oh, God.

In here!

He's still bleeding!
Another hemostat!

Hemostat!
Give me a hemostat now!

Dammit, hurry!

Gimme another hemostat!
Another suture! Hurry!

Oh, God, I'm so sorry!

Hurry up!

I can't...

I can't find it!
I can't find...

Doctor!

Here!

Am I gonna die?
Am I gonna die?

Nurse!

Don't leave me!

Doctor! Get over here!

My fingers are
plugging his artery!

Doctor, what do you need?

Don't leave me.
Doctor.

Focus, look at me.
What do you need?

Hemostat.
Hemostat.

Here.
All right, look at me.

You're gonna be all right.

I need more ammo!
I need more ammo, ladies!

I need more ammo!

Earl! We good to go?

Mostly, but...
Get down!

Shit! Get cover!
Jesus!

Jap motherfuckers!

Come on, you guys!

Earl, get in here!

Hey! Sergeant! They come back around,
we're gonna need more than a shotgun!

You got any other weapons and ammo
you can lay out some cover fire?

Inside that ammo locker!

- Come on!
- Let's go. Move it!

- Go! Go!
- Get the guns out!

You said the planes are mostly
ready, but... But what?

She's down, she's broke,
she's shit. I got four left.

One's good to go,
two need ammo, one needs fuel.

Fall out and load up
in the bunker!

Let's go! Get down!

Move! MAN 2: Get
ready to roll this thing!

Get down! Now!

All right. Anthony, Red,

you two are gonna stay here
and man the fifty-caliber.

Gooz, get up to the next bunker

you lay down some cover fire,
all right?

Planes.

Should we fire?

Stay down! Stay down!
No, goddammit!

Hold your fire! Stay still!
Nobody fire!

Oh, God, oh, God, oh, God.

They don't know we're here.

Stay down.
Fire?

No, no, no, goddammit.
They don't know we're here.

Stay down, stay still.
Don't fire.

Oh, God.

Jesus Christ,
these motherfuckers.

I don't see
any ordnance.

I think they're going home.

No. They'll be back.

We still got planes
on the ground.

All right.
You pilots, listen up.

Get all the air speed
you can coming off the runway,

don't get on the stick
till you get to the very end.

When you get in the air, stay
low between the buildings.

You see any Zero on your tail,
try to wipe him off.

Don't freeze, all right?
Just keep moving.

We're gonna try to
break 'em up and separate 'em.

We can take 'em out one by one.
That's right.

P-40s can't outrun Zeros,
so don't try.

We're just gonna
have to outfly 'em.

We got high-level bombers!

They'll bust this hangar
wide open!

Grab the fifties! Let's move!
Kick those Japs' ass!

Move! Move!

Go, go, go!

Zeros!

Take cover! Take cover!

Take cover! Take cover!

Get down! Get down!
Let's go! In the box!

Argh!

Danny!

Come on!

Come on, buddy!

Leave him, he's dead!
He's dead!

They're kicking our butt.

Get to the airplanes!
Let's go! Go, go, go!

Run! Red, Anthony, let's go!

Come on, help me!
Goddamn belts!

Let's go! Come on!

Knock 'em dead.

Quick! Get in!
Here, put this on.

They're coming around. Bring 'em out!
Let's go!

Red, get out of here, goddammit!
I'm all right. Go! Go!

Come on, come on. Let's go.

Joe, get out the way!

I'm rollin'! I'm rollin'!

Clear! Clear! Go!

Oh, God. Planes!

Come on, help me!

Hey, Joe! You got three Zeros right
behind you! Three Zeros on your six!

Turn! Turn!

Oh, God!

Agh!

Oh, shit.

What are you doing?
Get going! Get moving!

Danny, start that thing up
and get in the air.

I'm no good without
a wing man. I need you!

I got you!

Let's do it!

It's real tight, Rafe!
It's real tight!

Hey, Rafe, I'm not sure
we have enough runway!

Get your airspeed up
before you leave the dirt!

Don't freeze. Don't freeze.

I don't think I'm gonna
make it up over this!

Come on! Come on!

We did it! I'm up!

We got Zeros behind us, Rafe!

How many do you see back there?

We got five on our six!

Take it down to the deck,
Danny, now!

We gotta split 'em up, Danny.

You take left, I'll take right.

Earl, you better get some guns
in that goddamn tower up there!

Okay! Okay! Let's go!
Into the truck! Let's go!

Danny, I got three on my six.

Whoo!

Stop! Stop! Let's go!

Let's go! Move it!
Move it, Red!

Let's go!
Gimme the fifty!

Let's go! All right!

I've still got
two behind me, Rafe.

Son of a bitch!

Whoa!

Earl, do you hear me? Goddammit!
Get some guns in that tower!

On the tower. Going ten stories up.
It's a long son of a bitch.

Rafe, they're all over me!
I can't get them off me!

Danny, I've still got
three on my tail.

Keep shaking. Don't let them
get a handle on you!

I can't shake 'em, Rafe!

Goddammit.

Danny, let's play chicken
with these Jap suckers!

All right, I'm with you.

Jesus!

I'm coming right at you, Rafe!

Don't brake till I tell you.
Hold on.

Not yet! Not yet!

Come on! Come on!

Go left! Now!

Whoo! We got 'em!

Set up over there!

Come on, load it!

Okay,
we're on the top of the tower.

Earl, I got one on my tail.
I'll bring him right by you.

He's comin' around!
He's comin' around!

Come on, you slant-eyed
cocksuckers, let's go!

Hold your fire. Hold your fire.
Here he comes.

You better be cocked
and locked when I come by.

Hold your fire.

Fire!

Whoo! Good shootin', boys!

Nice shot, Earl! Let's head
over to Battleship Row.

I'm with you.

Let's go do some business.

I'm going after 'em.

Rafe! I got him!

P-40s!
Yeah!

They're pulling out
into the clouds, Danny.

We ain't gonna let these
sons of bitches get home.

How do you like it when
someone's shooting back at you?

Oh, I'm on your ass now.

Yeah! I got one!

Come on.

God, come on!

Come on, stay in there,
stay in there!

Whoa!

I got you, you son of a bitch.

Who taught you
how to fly, Lieutenant?

He did.

I have to amputate here!
I have to amputate!

You're not gonna die!

Okay, you're gonna be all right.
You're gonna be all right.

Sandra, we're running out of
morphine, so you gotta mark 'em.

Gotta find some way to mark 'em,

so we can keep track of who's
got the morphine already.

Tell me about your ship.
What ship are you from?

It's not marking.

Ev, you got a marker?

Use my lipstick!
Put "M" for morphine.

Okay, buddy.
It's okay, buddy.

I need some hemostat.

Evelyn, we need a tourniquet!

Tourniquet!

Where are the clamps?

There's nothing left!

Evelyn!

Here, use this.

I need you to go outside.
There's too many to help.

You gotta sort them out.

Only those that can be
saved you bring in here.

You got that?

I can't...

No, please, do it!
I need you to do it!

Go! Go!

Agh!

Don't look at anyone
without a mark!

Get back!
I told you, stand back!

Stay outside.
Keep 'em outside!

Come on! Let's go!

Wait here.

Don't touch me, you Jap!

Get your hands off me!

He's critical.
Get him into critical.

Get him off me.

Critical, front ward!

How bad am I?

You're gonna be
just fine, sweetheart.

I don't wanna die.

You're not gonna die,
sweetheart.

I've got your hand.

Do you have enough morphine to make
him comfortable? He won't make it.

Line the critical up
in the ward!

Get him morphine.
Take him over there!

Take the burn victims
by the tree!

I just found her!
I don't think she's breathing.

No, she's dead.
Take her...

Oh, God.

Are you sure, Ev?

Could you check her
one more time?

She's dead.
Take her over there!

But you've gotta be sure!

Go back to work, Sandra.

I don't know what to do.

Over here!

Admiral?

From Washington.

"Attack by Japan
considered imminent."

They're only an hour late.

How can we help?

We need blood. Come on.

Remember, son,
hold on to your faith.

Remember what Jesus said,

"Today you will be with me
in paradise, so fear not."

Fear not, my son.

You are a man
truly blessed, truly blessed.

You will die
in a state of grace.

Remember, pain is temporary,

but glory is forever.

Hold on to your faith, my son.

You'll be with God,
all the saints,

and all the angels very soon.

I absolve you of your sins

in the name of the Father,
the Son, the Holy Spirit.

In nomine patris et filii,
et spiritus sancti.

Amen.

Go with God, my son.

We've got men trapped
everywhere in the harbor.

We need help
from anybody who can move.

There's somebody in here!
Get somebody down here!

They're
cutting through!

I hear somebody!
Get some guys up here!

Pull!

Get us out of here! The
room's filling up with water!

Get an airline in here!

We need an air hose!

What can we do?

It won't cut any faster!

Cut him out!

Yesterday,

December 7, 1941,

a date which will live
in infamy,

the United States of America

was suddenly
and deliberately attacked

by naval and air forces
of the empire of Japan.

It is obvious

that planning the attack
began many weeks ago.

During the intervening time,

the Japanese government

has deliberately sought
to deceive the United States

by false statements

and expressions of hope
for continued peace.

The attack yesterday
on the Hawaiian islands

has caused severe damage
to American military forces.

I regret to tell you that
over 3,000 American lives

have been lost.

No matter how long
it may take us

to overcome
this premeditated invasion,

the American people,
in their righteous might,

will win through
to absolute victory.

Because of this

unprovoked, dastardly
attack by Japan,

I ask that the Congress

declare a state of war.

Is it true

men are still trapped
alive inside the Arizona?

We can hear tapping
from inside the hull.

We're doing everything
we can to get to them,

but they're 40 feet below water.

We've been trained to think
that we're invincible.

And now our proudest ships

have been destroyed

by an enemy
we considered inferior.

We're on the ropes, gentlemen.

That's exactly why
we have to strike back now.

We're preparing an attack against the
Marshall and Gilbert Islands, sir...

I'm talking about hitting the heart
of Japan the way they have hit us.

Mr. President...

Pearl Harbor caught us unawares

because we didn't face facts.

This isn't a time
for ignoring them again.

The army air corps has
long-range bombers,

but no place to launch them.

Midway is too far,

and Russia won't allow us
to launch a raid from there.

Admiral?

Navy's planes are small.

They carry light loads
and have a short range.

We'd have to get them within
a few 100 miles of Japan,

and therefore risk our carriers.

And if we lose our carriers,

we'll have no shield
against invasion.

Does anyone in this room think that victory
is possible without facing danger?

We are at war.

Of course there's a risk.

But consider the risk,
Mr. President.

If the Japanese
invade us right now,

they would penetrate
as far as Chicago

before we could stop them.

Gentlemen.

Most of you did not know me

when I had the use of my legs.

I was strong and proud...

and arrogant.

Now, I wonder,
every hour of my life,

why God put me into this chair.

But when I see defeat

in the eyes of my countrymen,

in your eyes, right now,

I start to think that maybe

he brought me down

for times like these,

when we all need to be reminded

who we truly are,

that we will not
give up or give in.

Mr. President,
with all respect, sir,

what you're asking
can't be done.

Mr. President!

Get back, George!

Get back.

Do not tell me

it can't be done.

Japan continues its military
conquest throughout the Pacific.

But, back home,

millions of American workers
band together

bringing factories to life
to avenge Pearl Harbor.

Mr. President, I think we have an
idea about how to bomb the Japanese.

Sir, it's risky, but it's bold.

Who are you?

I, sir?

Captain Low, Mr. President.

He's a submariner. He came
up with this idea, sir.

I like sub commanders.

They don't have time for
bullshit, and neither do I.

Fire away, gentlemen.

And where is God
in all this?

Our enemies believe that
a divine wind protects them.

But we see our friends
laid out here before us.

Hey, Captain.

Lieutenants Rafe McCawley,
Daniel Walker.

Yes, Major?

You're both going stateside.
Fly out in two hours.

What for, sir?

Ask Colonel Doolittle.

Yes, sir.

You're packing.

Orders.

What kind of orders?

The top-secret kind.

The dangerous kind.

I can't find Danny.

Is that why you're here?

Looking for Danny?

Probably saying goodbye
to his squadron.

We've been assigned
to Doolittle.

I wasn't looking for Danny.

I couldn't have you go away without
you understanding something.

Yeah. Well, you don't have
to explain anything to me.

I do, because you're acting
like I didn't love you.

Evelyn, loving you
kept me alive.

I should've died over there.

When I was in that water,
I made a deal with God.

I told him I was sorry.

I told him that I knew I'd
been a fool for leaving you,

trying to go over
there and be a hero,

and I promised I'd never
ask for anything again

if I could just see
you one more time.

And you know what?

It was worth it.

You kept me alive, Evelyn.
You brought me home.

So I'm gonna stand by
my end of the deal.

I'm gonna walk away.

And I won't ask you
for anything.

But I just want to know why.

Just tell me that, will you, please?
Just tell me why.

Rafe, I'm pregnant.

Oh, my God.

I didn't even know until the
day you turned up alive.

I haven't told Danny.

I don't want him to know.

All he needs to think about is how to
do this mission and get back alive.

Rafe...

All I ever wanted was for us to
have a home, grow old together,

but life never asked
me what I wanted.

Now, I'm gonna give Danny
my whole heart,

but I don't think I'll ever look at
another sunset without thinking of you.

I'll love you my whole life.

I'll see you on board.

You know, the only thing
that scares me

is that you might love him
more than you love me.

I love you, Danny.

And I'll be here waiting
for you when you come back.

Follow me.

Colonel.

Congratulations on
your promotion, sir.

I heard what you did.

We can explain that, sir.

Explain what?

Whatever it is
you heard about us, sir.

You mean the hula shirts
you were flying in?

Or the seven planes
you shot down?

You're both being awarded the Silver
Star, and promoted to captain.

Is that the good news,
sir, or...

You're just about the only pilots
in the army with combat experience.

I need you for a mission I've
been ordered to put together.

You know what top-secret is?

Yes, sir.

It's the kind of mission
where you get medals.

But they send 'em
to your relatives.

Top-secret means you train for something
never done before in aviation history,

and you go without knowing
where you're going.

You do it on that basis
or not at all.

I'll go, sir.

I'll go, too, sir.

By the way, McCawley,
the Brits sent this over.

It's your personal effects.

Thank you, sir. There's only
one more thing I can tell you.

Leave your goddamn hula shirts
at home.

The mission I'm asking you to volunteer
for is exceptionally dangerous.

Take a look at the man
beside you.

It's a good bet that in the
next six weeks, you or he...

Will be dead.

Everyone brave enough
to accept this,

step forward.

Your grandmother could take a
B-25 off on a mile-long runway.

Well, I'm gonna train you
to do it in 467 feet.

Because at 468 feet...

You're dead.

And once you get it up, you're gonna
learn to fly it like a fighter,

30 feet off the ground.

I want you to say hello to Lieutenant
Jack Richards, Navy Aviation.

He's gonna help us lighten
these fat ladies here.

Dump that ashcan. See that bomb sight?
Get rid of it.

Colonel, he's crazy!

The lady's fat!
Listen to him.

She's a fat lady.
We want a skinny lady!

Max power!

Get up, get up, get up!

Damn!
How the heck...

Damn!

They just keep rolling
past that line.

Maybe this mission's a bad idea.

No, they're too heavy. We gotta
get drastic with these planes.

This armored plating's gotta go.

I'm sure, I'm sure.
Now lose it like a skirt, son.

Release brakes!

Come on, come on, come on!

God! Put every man
on the line, now!

Let's show these boys
how this thing is done!

Come on! Max power.

Well, if he can do it...

Well, gentlemen, now I can tell
you that we're going to Tokyo.

And we're gonna bomb it.

That comes as a special request
directly from President Roosevelt.

The navy's gonna sneak us about
400 miles off the Japanese coast

and we'll launch
from the carrier there.

Has that ever even
been done before?

Taking army bombers
off navy carriers?

No.

Okay.

Any other questions?

Well, sir, is it even possible to land
a B-25 on an aircraft carrier deck?

That won't matter.
As soon as we're airborne,

the carrier will head
straight back for Hawaii.

But if the carriers head home,
where do we land?

I have a phrase
I want you to memorize.

It means "I am an American."

In Chinese.

Ain't gonna be any easier. That's three
feet shorter than our practice runway.

Fellas?
Sir.

Sir.

Secretary of the Navy
gave me these.

What are they?

Friendship medals
the Japanese gave us

when they were pretending
they wanted peace.

What did he want you
to do with them, sir?

I'm gonna wire them to
the bombs and give 'em back.

So, what's going on?

Well, sir,
we only have 16 planes.

So?

When the Japs hit us,
they had more than 300.

I mean, how much difference
we really gonna make?

It's not that
we're afraid, sir.

It's just that we might die doing this,
and we want to know what it's for.

You know, at Pearl, they hit
us with a sledgehammer.

This raid,
even if we make it through,

it'll only be a pinprick.

But it'll be
straight through their hearts.

Victory belongs to those
that believe in it the most,

and believe in it the longest.

We're gonna believe.

We're gonna make
America believe, too.

Colonel? I need a minute.

Excuse me, Major Jackson?
Yes?

Do you remember me?

Oh, sure I do.

I'm sorry. I've been
meaning to thank you.

Well, maybe you can.
When the news starts coming in

about those boys in the Doolittle
outfit, I wanna be in the command post.

I'm sorry. I don't know
what you're talking about.

How the hell do you know about
this mission, Lieutenant?

Let's call it
an inadvertent disclosure.

You mean some flyboy
you're dating

shot his mouth off.

Actually, it's about two pilots.

I know they're going
into great danger.

I just want to be there when the news comes
in to tell us if they've lived or died.

Most officers would have

thrown you in the brig.

Most nurses would have gone on
to someone else instead of

keeping their fingers
plugged in your artery.

I can't promise you anything.

Hey, Red, you think they just picked
us to do this 'cause we're young and dumb?

Come on, Gooz,
we're the tip of the sword.

In honor of our trip to Japan,

I got us some victory cigars!

Yeah!
Victory cigars. There you go.

Put that in your inside
pocket, next to your heart.

You know, Jack, we may lose this
battle, but we're gonna win this war.

You know how I know?
No.

Them.

Because they're rare.

And at times like these,
you see them...

Stepping forward.

There's nothing stronger

than the heart of
a volunteer, Jack.

My friends in the war department
don't want me to lead this raid

because they say
I'm too valuable.

They don't want me up in the air
flying with the men that I've chosen,

that I've chewed out, cussed
out, pushed to the limit...

And that I've come to respect.

They want me to stand on the flight deck and
wave you off. Well, I don't see it that way.

So I'm going with you.

We take off tomorrow afternoon,
drop our fire, and head for China.

Our mission is to hit military
targets, aircraft and tank factories.

Colonel, you've given us
the homing beacons,

but you've also told us that China
is overrun with Japanese troops.

What do we do if the beacons
are switched off?

You bring her down
any way you can,

and do your best
to avoid capture.

What do we do if our planes are damaged
and we have to bail out over Japan?

Well, in that situation, I can't
tell you what you should do.

What would you do, Colonel?

I wasn't built
to be a prisoner...

So I would have my crew
bail out,

I'd find the sweetest
military target I could

and drive my plane right
smack into the middle of it,

and kill as many of those
bastards as I possibly could.

But that's just me.

I'm 45 years old.
I'm an old man.

You guys have your whole lives ahead
of you, so what you do is up to you.

The mission will launch
in a couple of hours.

You'll stay right in here.

Here. Stay here.

Don't talk to them.
They won't talk to you.

Pretend to type whatever
information we pass you.

That's it.

I'm raising.
Raising you ten.

Come on, guys,
I'm k-k-killing you here.

Attention!

At ease.
At ease, men.

Say, Jack, I thought you said these were
the sharpest guys in the air corps.

I thought so.
Well, you got Red here

thinking he's gonna scoop
that pot with a king high.

I know.
Oh!

He's been bluffing all day.

No, no, I...
I'm just saying, I'm...

You know, fellas, when you're old men,
you'll remember tomorrow and what you did.

You'll tell your children
and your grandchildren,

and they'll be as proud to hear you tell
that story as you'll be to tell it.

I promise you that.

Boys, tomorrow night,
we eat Chinese.

And Red's buying!

So, how you two fellas doing?

At ease.

You know, I've been thinking
about how lucky you two are.

You've been through
a lot together.

Going all the way back
to flight training.

Actually, before that, sir.

Yeah. That's good.

Because tomorrow's a good day to
have your best buddy beside you.

So, everything
all right here, Captains?

It's all taken care of, Colonel.

Very good.

This is Orphan Annie
from Radio Tokyo.

To all the lonely boys in the South
Pacific, watch out, the enemy will get you.

Maybe she's right.

No, we're gonna bomb the fuck
out of that bitch tomorrow.

Japs transmitting!
Japs transmitting!

Captain, radar reports
Japanese patrol boats.

Range 400 yards.
How many yards?

400 yards and closing, sir.

Richards, Japs!
400 yards! Let's go!

Admiral Halsey's ordering
the cruisers to open fire!

We gotta sink these Jap boats
before they give away our position.

Go to general quarters!

Go, go, go, go!

Oh, my God.

General quarters.
This can't be good!

All hands,
man your battle stations.

Japs one mile away.
They reported our position.

We're supposed to launch
400 miles away.

How far are we now?

624 miles.

Jesus!
What do you want to do?

624...

I don't know.
Colonel, I don't know

if the planes can carry enough
fuel to make it to China.

Now. We launch now!

Army pilots! Man your planes!

Man your planes!

They're shooting at something.

Let's go!
Come on!

Get those airplanes up now!

Colonel!
We're too far out to make it!

These planes need more fuel, but if they're
too heavy they might not get off the deck!

Listen! I want you to strip
everything out of this plane

you don't need, and I mean now!

Start pre-flight! Let's go!

Add ten more cans of fuel
for each plane!

Every plane!

Let's go! Move!
Come on, guys, get up there!

Lose those suitcases, now!

What's your favorite gun?
What?

You want to get off this deck,
give me one of those guns now!

It's still too heavy!

I want you to go to the
kitchen, get some broomsticks.

Cut 'em down, paint 'em black,
and bring 'em here.

We're gonna put a broomstick
where this gun was.

What are you doing to my plane?
Plane's gonna be fine.

Tell your crew to take a piss
before they take off,

or they're not gonna
clear the deck.

We've got broomsticks
for tail guns.

Yeah. Maybe it'll scare 'em.

You take care of yourself up there.
Yeah, I will.

Danny, you be careful,
you hear me?

I will. I'll see you, Rafe.

Rafe! We're the tip
of the sword!

Turning on one!
Turning on two!

You ready for this?

Superchargers low and latched!

Superchargers are
low and latched.

We're full into the wind!

More speed! More speed!

Are you nervous?
No... Yes, sir. Yes.

When did you find religion?

When you assigned me
to this mission, sir.

I want you to do me a favor.

What's that, Colonel?
Pray for both of us.

Tell me when!
Let's go!

Max power!

Oh, please.

Come on! Come on!

Yeah!

Way to go!

Jesus, that was short.

Move 'em up!

All right, full power.
Full power. Here we go!

Pull back!

Come on, here we go, here we go.

We made it!

From Berlin, Rome,
and Tokyo,

we have been described

as a nation of weaklings
and playboys

who hire British or Russian
or Chinese soldiers

to do our fighting for us.

Let them repeat that now.

Let them tell that to General
MacArthur and his men.

Let them tell that
to the soldiers who today

are fighting hard in
the far waters of the Pacific.

Let them tell that to the boys
in the Flying Fortresses.

Let them tell that

to the marines.

That's Japan right there,
fellas. Tighten up back there!

Man your guns!

We're in the enemy's backyard!

All right, look alive
back there. I see coastline.

Heads up, boys! Heads up!

Man your guns back there.

I'm cocked and locked!

Get ready, you suckers.

Approaching targets
for bombing raid.

Open bomb bay doors.
Open bomb bay doors.

Ripley,
you got a target in sight?

37 degrees. Target in sight!

All right, boys,

let's knock their clocks off!

Drop your ordnance! Bombs away!
One away!

Bombs away!
Bombs away!

Two away!

Three away! Four away!

We caught 'em
by surprise!

- Dropping ordnance!
- Bombs away! Bombs away!

factory.

Whoo!
We got it!

We hit our targets!
Good job, raiders.

Jesus! What...

We got flak everywhere!

Go down there and get Gooz!
I want everyone to separate!

Clean that up! Try and clean that up!
Yes, sir.

They're shooting flak
at us!

We gotta try and get out
of this shit, Gooz!

We got a fire! We got a fire!
Tail's hit!

The electrics!
We got a fire back here!

I gotta short this out!

Get into the clouds,
Danny, right now! Get up...

Goddammit!

Red, go check it out!

I'm getting covered up here! I
just hope they don't hit a prop.

I'm hit! They're gonna
tear this plane apart!

Red, take it up, 800 feet.

I think Theo's dead!
Theo, wake up!

Theo!

Get into the clouds,
Danny, right now!

Get up in that soup!

We're gonna pull out of this,
Gooz! Come on!

Thank you, George.

What is it, General?

Colonel Doolittle had to advance his
execution order by 12 hours, Mr. President.

There will be no homing beacons.

The plane carrying them
crashed en route to China.

And our bombers may lack the fuel
to reach the mainland anyway, sir.

So our boys are flying blind
on empty tanks.

God help them.

We're still not getting
a signal.

All ocean and no land.
Homing in on nothing.

How many cans of fuel
we got left?

These are all empty!

Is this all you got?
That's all we got, Red.

Rafe! You'd better pray
for land!

Break radio silence.

I'm sorry, gentlemen.
You're all brave souls.

Among the bravest I've ever had
the privilege of flying with.

But we're on our own.

This really was
a suicide mission.

Engine one's fluctuating. We're
gonna lose it any minute.

Rafe, you gotta prime it.
I'm priming it. How about now?

I see the coast.
I see the coast!

Copy that, Rafe.
We're gonna make it.

Danny, follow me, now. We can make this.
I can see the coast right now.

It's only a few miles out.
Follow me.

We're following you, Rafe. We
gotta find a soft landing spot.

I'm pushing up on two. Fellas, it's
gonna be a hard landing. Hold on!

I see rice paddies right there.
We'll bring it in right here.

Oh, God, engine one's dead. We're
gonna lose engine two any second.

We can make it in. Easy.

Pull it back, we'll glide in,
go in on fumes.

Japs! We got Jap patrols
all over the place!

There's Japs everywhere,
Danny! Land somewhere else!

Strap yourselves in, boys!
We're coming in hard!

We're a dead stick.

Get outta the nose!

Hold on, boys!
We're going down!

Watch the trees!

Oh, God!

Everyone all right?

I'm okay! I'm okay!

Where's Ripley?

He's dead.

Watch for Japs!

Jap patrols!
Take cover!

Argh!

Who's got extra magazines?
I got 'em!

We gotta get up into those
hills, find the Chinese!

They got us pinned down!

Danny!
Rafe! Rafe, no!

Danny!
Rafe! You don't have a chance!

Rafe!

Goddammit. Danny!

Come on!

Gooz? You Okay, man?

Danny? Aw, shit. Anthony.

Gooz! Can you hear me?

Yeah.
Come on.

Danny. Easy, easy, easy.

I've had better landings.

You saved us back there.

I got something in my neck.

Let me pull this out.
Where's Gooz?

He's fine.

He's right over there.

Rafe!

Grenade!

Danny. Danny!

Danny! Oh!

Hold on!
Rafe!

Hold on, now. I got you.

You're all right.
You're all right.

I'm not...
I'm not gonna make it.

Oh, yes, you are. Yes, you are.
Danny, look at me.

Rafe, I'm so cold.
I'm so cold.

You're all right. Hey.

Hey, Rafe?
Can you do me a favor?

What?

Can you have someone else

write my name on the tombstone?

You're not gonna die.
Look at me, listen to me!

You ain't gonna die,
you hear me? Danny.

Danny, you can't die.

You can't die. You know why?

Because you're
gonna be a father.

You're gonna be a daddy.

I wasn't supposed to tell you.

You're gonna be a father.

Please.

No. You are.

Danny.

Danny?

Danny?

Please, please!

Please.

God.

Please, Danny.

Hold your fire!
They're Chinese.

When the action
is over and we look back,

we understand both more
and less.

This much is certain,

before the Doolittle raid,
America knew nothing but defeat.

After it, nothing but victory.

Japan realized for the first time that
they could lose, and began to pull back.

America realized that she would
win, and surged forward.

It was a war
that changed America.

Dorie Miller was the first
black American

to be awarded the Navy Cross.

But he would not be the last. He
joined a brotherhood of heroes.

That's for all the raiders.

World War II for us
began at Pearl Harbor,

and 1,177 men still lie entombed
in the battleship Arizona.

America suffered...
But America grew stronger.

It was not inevitable.

The times tried our souls,

and through the trial,
we overcame.

Hey, Danny,
how'd you like to go flying?
