This is thoroughly a 1970's movie. One of the subplots involves a young American pilot in love with a Japanese girl. She is interned along with her family. This subplot is because of the succcess of a movie about the wrongness of the internments. Anyway, despite the political correctness, the actual story of the battle is told. There is foootage in this movie from Tora Tora Tora, 30 Seconds Over Tokyo as well as archival material from the government. Overall, I'd have to give the movie three stars out of five.
