Factual error: In a scene where the USS Arizona blows up, a Kingfisher aircraft is seen toppling from the catapult on Arizona's number 3 turret. On the morning of the attack, Arizona's two aircraft were on Ford Island undergoing maintenance.

10/10. One of the best movies ever made about Pearl Harbor. I've seen part of the attack scene and it looked so real. Just amazing and well done film made here.

Trivia: Just before the attack starts, there is a scene where the Navy are performing their start of day ceremony. Watch the sailor who rings the bell. After he has finished he walks backwards and stumbles as he walks into a small raised item.
