Synopsis
In the summer of 1942, the United States and Japan are locked in a bitter struggle for control of the Pacific Ocean. Lieutenant Commander David Landon, a young and ambitious naval officer, is given command of the USS Hornet, a state-of-the-art aircraft carrier. Landon and his crew are tasked with a dangerous mission: to launch a surprise attack on the Japanese fleet at Midway Atoll.
The Battle of Midway is one of the most important naval battles in history. It was a decisive victory for the United States, and it turned the tide of the war in the Pacific.
