The United States not yet involved in World War II, Rafe McCawley (Affleck) volunteers to fight for the British Royal Air Force, leaving behind his lovely nurse girlfriend, Evelyn (Beckinsale), and his best friend from childhood, Danny Walker (Hartnett). Stationed in "Pearl Harbor" together, Danny and Evelyn fall in love after hearing that Rafe was shot down. Yet, Rafe resurfaces just in time for the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor (a spectacular effects-laden historical backdrop to the love story), and the trio's troubles are put on hold so they can fight for their country. Following the attack, Evelyn must make her choice as America prepares its courageous retaliation. This is a re-edited, R-rated, 184-minute Director's Cut of the movie. (Suzanne Hodges)
