The Final Countdown
by David Ambrose et al. , directed by Don Taylor
Observer Warren Lasky is aboard the U.S.S. Nimitz when a storm takes the carrier back to
the day before the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. Should they
prevent the attack? What will be the consequences of saving a politician who may become
Roosevelt’s running mate? Then the ship is returned to the present before they can do
anything vaguely cool.

Today is December 7, 1941. I’m sure we are all aware of the significance of this date
in this place in history. We are going to fight a battle that was lost before most of you
were born. This time, with God’s help, it’s going to be different. . . . Good
Luck.
The Final Countdown by David Ambrose et al. , directed
by Don Taylor (premiered at an unknown movie theater, London,
21 May 1980).
