Don Taylor’s THE FINAL COUNTDOWN
(PG, 1980, 103 min)
“History is about to get rewritten… and the stakes couldn’t be higher!” When the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier USS Nimitz, commanded by Captain Matthew Yelland (Kirk Douglas), mysteriously travels back in time to December 6, 1941, the modern crew faces a gut-wrenching choice: intervene and risk changing history forever—or watch disaster unfold. Fighter jets, cutting-edge technology, and real-time moral dilemmas collide in a suspenseful, edge-of-your-seat battle between past and present. Martin Sheen, Katharine Ross, and Charles Durning co-star as the witnesses caught between duty and conscience. The Final Countdown is a pulse-pounding, high-concept sci-fi thriller packed with action, intrigue, and a what-if premise that makes this long-forgotten classic feel more electrifying than ever.
