Ben Affleck and Kate Beckinsale share a romance against the backdrop of the Pearl Harbour bombing in this big-budget Michael Bay blockbuster.
The lifelong friendship between Rafe McCawley (Affleck) and Danny Walker (Josh Hartnett) is put to the ultimate test when the two ace fighter pilots become entangled in a love triangle with Naval nurse Evelyn Johnson (Beckinsale). But the rivalry between the friends-turned-foes is immediately put on hold when they find themselves at the centre of Japan's devastating attack on Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7, 1941.
