Director Michael Bay (ARMAGEDDON, THE ROCK) uses a tragic romantic triangle to set the stage for the infamous Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in this epic tale of love, loss, and...
more...patriotism. When Evelyn (Kate Beckinsale), a beautiful Navy nurse, meets dashing ace Army fighter pilot Rafe (Ben Affleck), the two fall madly in love, only to be separated abruptly when he is called upon to help fight the war in Europe. Unforeseen circumstances lead Evelyn into the arms of Danny (Josh Hartnett), another fighter pilot and Rafe's best friend since childhood. In the meantime, the Japanese military is planning the surprise early morning raid on Hawaii that will pull the United States into World War II. Spectacular special effects vividly recreate the attack in devastating detail as bombs explode, torpedoes shoot through the water, and bullets fly, shaking tranquil Pearl Harbor to its core. Bay deftly captures the patriotism and the loss of innocence of the young men and women who were suddenly thrust into the war. Cuba Gooding, Jr., Jon Voight, Alec Baldwin and Mako also star in this tribute to both the fallen and the survivors of one of the most horrific tragedies ever to occur on American soil.

Most people say that pearl harbor is pretty boring and just full of bombs. I definately do not agree. I saw it the first day it came out and found it amazing. It has great sound affects and the characters are incredible.
Rafe (Ben Affleck) and Danny (Josh Hartnett) are two best friends who love to fly. Rafe falls in love with a nurse called Evelyn (Kate Beckinsdale). Then Rafe is sent away to fight the war in England. When his plane crashes everyone believes he's dead. After months in morning Evelyn decides to put the past behind her, so dhe goes out with Danny. Soon she finds that she has fallen in love with him. It turns out that Rafe is not dead and comes back, when he finds out about Danny and Evelyn he gets very angry and starts a fight with Danny.
suddenly Pearl Harbor on the coast of Hawai is attacked by the Japanese. It leaves every american devestated, angry and eager for revenge. This is when the story starts to twist. Rafe and Danny decide to be involved in the revenge attack on Tokyo, Japan.
I won't say anymore because it will spoil the affect of the film if I do.
This is definately one to see this summer. Make sure you don't miss out on a great film this summer.
