At the time of its release, this lavish period war drama from hyperkinetic
director Michael Bay became the most expensive motion picture ever green-
lighted by a studio. Ben Affleck stars as Rafe McCawley, a military pilot
stationed under Jimmy Doolittle (Alec Baldwin) in New Jersey, along with his
best friend from childhood, Danny Walker (Josh Hartnett). Rafe is chomping
at the bit to get involved in World War II, but America has not entered the
conflict, so he is forced to fight on loan to the Royal Air Force in Britain,
leaving behind his beautiful girlfriend Evelyn (Kate Beckinsale). After Rafe
goes overseas, both Danny and Evelyn are transferred to the naval base in
Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, where word arrives that Rafe has been killed in action.
A grief-stricken Evelyn and Danny become romantically attached, a situation
that becomes a lit powder keg when Rafe suddenly reappears, having
survived his ordeal in the European war. The Japanese attack on Pearl
Harbor puts the romantic triangle on hold, as the best friends are ordered to
undertake a top-secret and highly dangerous retaliatory mission to bomb
Tokyo, once again under the command of Doolittle. Although the trio of leads
are entirely fictional, Cuba Gooding Jr., Tom Sizemore, and Jon Voight (as
FDR) co-star in the roles of real-life historical figures. Pearl Harbor is based
on a script by Randall Wallace, writer of Braveheart (1995) and The Man in
the Iron Mask (1998). Taking a page from the production history of James
Cameron's Titanic (1997), many of the actors and filmmakers involved with
Pearl Harbor deferred their usual salaries until the film "broke even" at the box
office.
