Seen with the parents at Roth's Tysons Corner Theater.

I'm surprised I couldn't find an existing thread on this time travel feature. Wow. Kirk Douglas, James Farentino, Martin Sheen, Katherine Ross, Charles Durning, Ron O'Neal, and a cameo by a real-life US Navy officer friend of my Dad's star in this thought-provoking science fiction film regarding the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier USS Nimitz and her crew disappearing into a time storm and winding up in the waters of Naval Station Pearl Harbor. 

On December 6th, 1941.

Captain Yelland (Douglas) deals with the ethical dilemma posed by their situation: Do they or don't they prevent the Imperial Japanese Navy from carrying out their surprise attack on Pearl Harbor the next day?

I think the movie is great fun, and man, those F-14 Tomcats of the VF-84 Jolly Rogers Squadron, with their signature skull & cross- bones insignia. Glorious machines in their day.

Definitely worth a repeat visit.
