When Rafe gets the chance to join the Royal Air Force during World War II, he takes it, leaving his new love, Evelyn, a dedicated Navy nurse, and Danny, also a pilot, behind. Danny and Evelyn are transferred separately to the idyllic paradise of Hawaii, where they eventually meet through a connection to Rafe, who has been declared missing. But just as the love triangle begins to get complicated, Dec. 7, 1941 arrives, changing all of their lives forever.

P.H. submitted by Roylo56 on June 23, 2011, 5:08pm This was a great historic movie, with romance and drama mixed in. Long but still very good!
Pearl Harbor submitted by SBNB on August 5, 2012, 11:18am This was always a favorite movie of mine. It has just the right amount of action, drama, and romance, and on top of that, it's a good story.
Epic submitted by awesomede16 on June 16, 2013, 12:33pm This movie gives a lot of good information about what happened on Dec. 7 1941.
good submitted by jjdijkstra81 on July 14, 2014, 1:13pm I am not a big fan of war movies, but this one was good, something I enjoyed watching with my boyfriend.
Pearl Harbor via Michael Bay submitted by Fevvers - STAR473 on July 1, 2016, 6:51pm There are some great, intense scenes and action sequences, but the pacing drags. There is a big dramatic-romantic plotline that is very stilted. It delivers on spectacle, and does show the impact of violence pretty well, but as a whole it feels like two or three different movies jammed together, most of which aren't very good. Though it is a very divisive movie - plenty of people consider it great - so if you're interested, give it a try, but don't feel bad about giving up on it if it starts to be unappealing to you.
