    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      Although it can be seen as an embellishment by the filmmakers, Bruno Gaido's daring shooting of the damaged Japanese bomber that was about to crash into the USS Enterprise is genuine. All details, from his jump into the cockpit to the Japanese bomber almost hitting the deck and clipping Gaido's plane, to the exact words of his promotion by Admiral Halsey, are historically accurate.
    • Goofs
      During the dive bombing of the Hiryu, Best is shown holding the dive until at mast level, and then releasing bomb while pulling out, putting it into the rising sun logo. In reality, Best released his bomb at 1000ft while aiming for the logo, In reality, no one would drop a dive bomb while in a glide or pull-out phase of flight. Good chance the bomb would simply bounce off, or explode taking the bomber with it.
    • Quotes
      • Raymond Spruance: Layton, how reliable are these estimates of the Japanese positions?
      • Edwin Layton: They represent our best guess based on the intelligence that we have.
      • Raymond Spruance: I can't plan around your guess.
      • Chester W. Nimitz: [to Layton] I understand that we're asking the impossible but we need you to be specific.
      • Edwin Layton: [sighs, pauses a moment] The Japanese will attack on the morning of June 4th from the northwest at a bearing of 325 degrees. They will be sighted 175 miles from Midway at 0700 local time.
      • Chester W. Nimitz: I trust Layton and his team. Make your plans accordingly.
      • Chester W. Nimitz: [later, on the morning of June 4th, after receiving the report the enemy fleet was spotted on a bearing of 320 degrees and 180 miles northwest of Midway and glancing at his watch] Well, Layton, you and Rochefort were only off five minutes, five miles and five degrees.
      • Edwin Layton: Well, we'll endeavor to do better next time, sir.
    • Crazy credits
      The opening credits, including the LIONSGATE logo, are sepia-toned and grainy, resembling old film of the 1940s, played over by President Franklin D. Roosevelt's Quarantine Speech.

    FAQ2

    • How does this movie compare to the 1976 movie with Charlton Heston and Henry Fonda ? As good, better, or worse ?
    • Where is general Spruance in this movie? Without him US couldn't win the Midway, also even the world war II.
