Rafe McCawley (Ben Affleck)
and Danny Walker (Josh Hartnett) are childhood friends who both dream of flying.
As the world becomes embroiled in World War II in the early 1940’s, Rafe and
Danny sign on with the United States armed forces, although America is still in
an isolationist position. Eager to participate in combat, Rafe is compelled to
join the British air fight against the Nazis, leaving his girlfriend, beautiful
army nurse Evelyn Stewart (Kate Beckinsale) behind. When Evelyn and Danny are
transferred to the military base at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, they hear the news
that Rafe has been shot down and killed. Hoping to move on after grieving, Danny
and Evelyn find themselves in love. When Rafe returns alive, the three find
themselves in an uncomfortable personal situation that is soon engulfed by the
massive surprise attack on Pearl Harbor.
Putting aside their differences, Rafe and Danny join the desperate fight against
the enemy invaders. The film’s epic sweep intertwines Rafe and Danny’s stories
with the heroic efforts of such characters as "Dorrie" Miller (Cuba Gooding
Jr.), a ship’s cook turned fighter, Earl (Tom Sizemore), a courageous base
mechanic, and Jimmy Doolittle (Alec Baldwin), the visionary pilot who would lead
one of America’s most famous counterattacks of the war. Dan Aykroyd also appears
as the code breaking Captain Thurman and Jon Voight as President Franklin
Roosevelt.
