Extra Features: Director/Japanese Film Historian Audio Commentary Original Theatrical Trailer - "The Longest Day" Theatrical Trailer - "Tora! Tora! Tora!" Theatrical Trailer - "Patton" Language: English 4.1 Subtitles: Czech, Danish, Finnish, Hebrew, Hungarian, Icelandic, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Swedish and English for the hearing impaired. Here is just one of the many mishaps chronicled in Tora! Tora! Tora!: "Sir, there's a large formation of planes coming in from the north, 140 miles, 3 degrees east." "Yeah? Don't worry about it." The epic film shows the bombing of Pearl Harbour from both sides in the historic first American-Japanese coproduction: American director Richard Fleischer oversaw the complicated production (the Japanese sequences were directed by Toshio Masuda and Kinji Fukasaku, after Akira Kurosawa withdrew from the film), wrestling a sprawling story with dozens of characters into a manageable, fairly easy-to-follow film. The first half maps out the collapse of diplomacy between the nations and the military blunders that left naval and air forces sitting ducks for the impending attack, while the second half is an amazing re-creation of the devastating battle. While Tora! Tora! Tora! lacks the strong central characters that anchor the best war films, the real star of the film is the climactic 30-minute battle, a massive feat of cinematic engineering that expertly conveys the surprise, the chaos and the immense destruction of the only attack by a foreign power on American soil since the Revolutionary war. The special effects won a well-deserved Oscar, but the film was shut out of every other category by, ironically, the other epic war picture of the year, Patton. -- Sean Axmaker,  From the Back Cover Tora! Tora! Tora! is the Japanese signal to attack - and the movie meticulously recreates the attack on Pearl Harbour and the events leading up to it. Opening scenes contrast the American and Japanese positions. Japanese imperialists decide to stage the attack. Top U.S brass ignore its possibility. Intercepted Japanese messages warn of it - but never reach F.D.R's desk. Radar warnings are disregarded. Even the entrapment of a Japanese submarine in Pearl Harbour before the attack goes unreported. Ultimately the day of Infany arrives - in the most spectacular, gut wrenching cavalcade of action-packed footage ever. It's the most dazzling re reation of America's darkest day - and some of her finest hours.
