In an innovative move, two different film crews made this film. I believe that much of the reason for this unusual tone stemmed from the nature of the production. Not that you’ll see much of a slant against the Japanese in Tora, as it gives them a rather shiny gloss. All may be fair in love and war, but a sneak attack to start a war just doesn’t seem right to me. Others may disagree, but I think the bombing of Pearl Harbor was a cowardly act. Frankly, I think it goes too far in that attempt. On the other hand, the Japanese are largely shown to be efficient, organized and intelligent, and the film goes out of its way to display them in a relatively positive manner. If anything, the slant goes more heavily against the Americans, as they’re often portrayed as bumblers who have themselves to blame for the damage done on December 7, 1941.

One might expect to discover a highly pro-American, anti-Japanese screed take in Tora, but that’s not the case. It also showed something rarely found in movies about the subject: a fairly high degree of objectivity.

Every movie takes some liberties with its subject, but Tora seems to provide a rather accurate telling of the tale. For a movie take on the subject, Tora actually sticks much more closely to the facts than do most flicks of this ilk, so its appearance in classrooms shouldn’t be regarded as a negative in any way. I think we watched it in high school history class, but that’s the extent of my remembrance of the movie. I vaguely recall that I saw the film as a kid. Hey, nothing wrong with a little opportunistic promotion, and I was curious to give Tora a look. The cover of that Tora even subtitled the film “the attack on Pearl Harbor”. Was it a coincidence that this 2001 special edition of 1970’s Tora! Tora! Tora! hit the shelves a mere 10 days before Michael Bay’s massively hyped Pearl Harbor arrived on movie screens? I think not.

Even the entrapment of a Japanese submarine in Pearl Harbor before the attack goes unreported. Intercepted Japanese messages warn of it - but never reach F.D.R.'s desk. Japanese imperialists decide to stage the attack. Opening scenes contrast the American and Japanese positions. Tora! Tora! Tora! is the Japanese signal to attack - and the movie meticulously recreates the attack on Pearl Harbor and the events leading up to it. The incredible attack on Pearl Harbor as told from both the American and Japanese sides.
