THE FINAL COUNTDOWN
In 1980, the U,S, S, Nimitz a takes on a passenger Warren Laskey at the request of his boss, Mr. Tideman, who designed the ship. The ship encounters a strange storm at sea and passes through it to emerge at the same spot, but on December 6, 1941 [18:31 to 1:12:49]. After Japanese Zeros destroy a civilian yacht, planes from the carrier shoot down the Zeroes and the Nimitz takes the survivors, Senator Samuel Chapman, his secretary, Laurel Scott and a captured Japanese pilot on board. The Japanese pilot temporarily holds hostages and demands that he be allowed to contact his fleet, before he is killed. The captain of the Nimitz decides to stop the attack on Pearl Harbor. Chapman’s attempts to warn the army and navy of the attack aren’t believed. The captain sends his CAG Owens to take Chapman and Scott to an isolated island. Chapman tries to divert the helicopter to Pearl Harbor but accidentally destroys the helicopter, stranding Owens and Scott. The Nimitz launches a strike to take out the Japanese fleet, but the time storm returns, so the strike is recalled and the ship returns to 1980, where they find “Mr. Tideman” is actually an older CAG Owens, who has married Miss Scott.
