Summary:
Centers on the Battle of Midway, a clash between the American fleet and the Imperial Japanese Navy which marked a pivotal turning point in the Pacific Theater during WWII. The film, based on the real-life events of this heroic feat, tells the story of the leaders and soldiers who used their instincts, fortitude, and bravery to overcome the odds. "Ambiguity is not its goal, nor is nihilism its motivating philosophy. It aims to celebrate heroism, sacrifice, determination and grit, and if you don't like that it really does not care."--Los Angeles Times. "'Midway' tells a story that's vividly and viscerally rendered, with all the entertainment value of a big, old-fashioned war movie..."--Washington Post. "The film's drama is B-movie basic. But the destructive colliding metal-on-metal inferno of what war is what makes 'Midway' a picture worth seeing."--Variety.
