The USS Nimitz, on routine maneuvers in the Pacific, encounters a bit of time turbulence, so to call it, and emerges on the other side the day before the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, with a full arsenal of nuclear-age armaments and a chance to rewrite the history books. "It opens up some amazing possibilities," one of the time travelers observes. None of those possibilities is pursued far (the filmmakers are more concerned to show off the many modern conveniences and amenities of the Nimitz), and one would be willing to hang around awhile after the mind-boggling ending and the tantalizing curtain line, "We have a lot to talk about," if only one could feel certain that they actually had anything to say. With Kirk Douglas, Martin Sheen, James Farentino, Katharine Ross, and Charles Durning; directed by Don Taylor. (1980) — Duncan Shepherd
