Namespaces Article Talk. This was the final film by Don Taylor. Kaufman also served as an associate producer and had a minor acting role.

The film was produced with the full cooperation of the United States Navy 's naval aviation branch and the United States Department of Defense. The Final Countdown was a moderate success at the box office.

Defense Department — on the orders of his reclusive employer, Mr. Tideman, whose secretive major defense contractor company Tideman Industries designed and built the nuclear-powered warship.

Once at sea, the Nimitz encounters a mysterious electrically-charged storm-like vortex. While the ship passes through it, radar and other equipment becomes unresponsive and everyone aboard falls into agony.

Initially unsure of what has happened to them, and having lost radio contact with U. He orders general quarters and launches an RF-8 Crusader reconnaissance aircraft.

The aircraft returns after photographing Hawaii but the images appear to date from , showing an intact row of U. Pacific fleet battleships moored on " Battleship Row " at Pearl Harbor, a sight which has not existed for four decades.

When a surface contact is spotted on the radar, Yelland launches the ready alert, with two Grumman F Tomcat fighter jets from VF , to intercept.

The patrol witnesses a civilian wooden yacht, Gatsby , being strafed and destroyed by two Imperial Japanese Navy Mitsubishi A6M "Zero" fighters, killing three of the crew members.

The Fs are ordered to drive off the Zeros without firing, but when the Zeros inadvertently head towards the Nimitz , Yelland gives clearance to shoot them down.

The Nimitz rescues survivors from the yacht: prominent U. Commander Owens James Farentino , an amateur historian, recognizes Chapman as a politician who could have been Franklin D.

Roosevelt 's running mate and his potential successor during his final re-election bid , had Chapman not disappeared shortly before the attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, When a Grumman E-2 Hawkeye scouting craft discovers the Japanese fleet task force further north in unpatrolled waters, poised to launch its attack on Pearl Harbor, the Nimitz crew realize that they have been transported back in time to the day before the attack.

Yelland has to decide whether to destroy the Japanese fleet and alter the course of history or to stand by and allow history to proceed as they know it.

The American civilians and the Zero pilot are kept isolated, but while being questioned, the Japanese pilot obtains a rifle, kills two Marine guards, and takes Laurel, Owens, and Lasky hostage.

He threatens to kill them unless he is given access to a radio to warn the Japanese fleet about the Nimitz. Lasky tells Commander Owens to recite and describe the secret plans for the Japanese attack, and the Japanese pilot lowers his guard and is overcome and shot by Marines.

Laurel and Owens develop an attraction for each other. Chapman is outraged that Yelland knows of the impending Japanese attack but has not told anyone else, and demands to be taken to Pearl Harbor to warn the naval authorities.

Yelland instead orders Owens to fly the civilians and sufficient supplies via helicopter to an isolated Hawaiian island, assuming they will eventually be rescued.

When they arrive, Chapman realizes he has been tricked and tries to force the pilot to fly to Pearl Harbor, but instead causes an explosion that destroys the craft and kills everyone on board, which strand Laurel and Owens on the island.

The Nimitz launches a massive strike force against the incoming Japanese forces, but the time storm returns.

After a futile attempt to outrun the storm, Yelland recalls the strike force, and the ship and its aircraft safely return to , leaving the past relatively unchanged.

Upon the return of the Nimitz to Pearl Harbor, the Pacific Fleet admirals board the ship to investigate the Nimitz ' s bizarre disappearance.

Meanwhile, Lasky leaves the ship with Laurel's dog, Charlie, and encounters the mysterious Mr. Tideman face-to-face. Tideman is revealed to be a much older Owens, along with his wife, Laurel.

Owens says to Lasky that they have much to talk about. Peter Douglas was the driving force behind The Final Countdown. Officials from the Department of Defense offered full cooperation after seeing a script, but insisted that for safety and operational readiness, the film schedule would be dependent on the "on location" naval consultant, William Micklos.

Scenes at Pearl Harbor consisted of mainly stock footage with most of The Final Countdown exteriors shot on the Nimitz while at sea, and at drydock for interiors.

During operations, an emergency landing took place with the production crew allowed to film the recovery of the aircraft on the Nimitz ; the sequence appeared in the final film.

Crew members of the Nimitz were used as extras, a few with speaking parts; a total of 48 of the crew appear as "actors" in the final credits. Dissension in the production crew led to major changes during location shooting, with a number of the crew being fired and replaced.

In order to film the aerial sequences, Panavision cameras were mounted on naval aircraft while camera-equipped aircraft and helicopters were leased from Tallmantz Aviation , including a Bell Jet Ranger helicopter, a Learjet 35 , and a B bomber converted into a camera platform.

In one scene where an F "thumps" a Zero by flying under and streaking upward in front of the slower aircraft, the resultant " jet blast " of turbulent air was so intense that the yokes of both of the Zeros in the scene were violently wrenched out of the pilots' hands and caused both aircraft to momentarily tumble out of control.

During the climactic attack on Pearl Harbor, scenes reproduced in monochrome from Tora! It was later released by Blue Underground on a two-DVD set with both full-screen and widescreen formats and a special two-disc limited edition set with a hologram cover.

The Final Countdown was promoted as a summer blockbuster and received mixed reviews from critics. He went on to clarify: "Unfortunately, the movie makes such a mess of it that the biggest element of interest is the aircraft carrier itself.

Navy sponsored the film premiere and exploited the film as a recruiting tool to the extent that the theatrical poster appeared in U.

Navy recruiting offices shortly after the film's release. Christopher John reviewed The Final Countdown in Ares Magazine 5 and commented that "There is nothing wrong with what is on the screen in Final Countdown ; what is on the screen, however, is only half of the film.

Maybe someday, like Close Encounters of the Third Kind , someone will go back and put in the missing half-hour of this movie.
