The US Navy aircraft carrier Nimitz gets caught in an unusual storm and is displaced forty years in time.

But do they have the right to disrupt the course of history?

Review 4K Movie

I liked the film not only for its fantastic component, but also for its technical nature - the scriptwriter probably talked with competent military consultants, since the film realistically shows the military atmosphere. Kirk Douglas, a decisive and disciplined captain of an aircraft carrier, played a wonderful role, who, in my opinion, always made adequate decisions in stressful situations (such as going back in time).

So, the aircraft carrier falls into the past due to an unusual storm, or rather it is sucked into a strange type of funnel. At first, no one believes what happened (signals on a different frequency, transmitting old American programs and news reports about the Germans near Moscow), it is suggested that all this is a joke or even a psychological attack by the Russians. But then, when the evidence becomes more and more, a dilemma arises - is it possible to change the course of history, because the aircraft carrier hit on December 7, 1941, a few hours before the attack on Pearl Harbor.

I liked very much the statement of Laski (Martin Sheen) about the classic paradox of time: “Imagine that I go back in time and meet my grandfather there, shortly before he got married and had children. Let's say we have a fight and I will kill him. If I do this, I will not be able to be born. If I am not there, how can I go back in time and meet my grandfather? "
