Plot – During a quiet Sunday morning in December, while the kids are playing and the families are praying, squadrons of Japanese military aircrafts rumble in the skies of the Hawaiian paradise in a sneak attack to the US military base in Pearl Harbor. The movie tells about an intense love story arisen in the background of the events of December 7, 1941. It narrates the story of two young and brave pilots and the beautiful and sensitive nurse they both love. It is a majestic film about the power of love and the individual courage intimidated by the dramatic historical period.
