This is a 27" x 39" Spanish poster with a design derived directly from
that of the US poster for the 1980 Don Taylor film the Final
Countdown based on a story by Thomas Hunter, Peter Powell, David
Ambrose and Gerry Davis, screenplay by Thomas Hunter and Peter Powell
and starring Kirk Douglas as Captain Matthew Yelland. Plot summary:
This film was made aboard the USS Nimitz super carrier in full
cooperation with the US Navy, which even hung its poster in US Navy
recruiting offices soon after release. The film tells the story of
the Nimitz being unexpectedly caught in a time storm and then
transported back to December 6 1941, the day before the Japanese
attacked Pearl Harbor. The first inkling that something strange has
happened comes when the ship picks up Jack Benny and Roscoe on its AM
radio. There is disagreement about whether the ship has really gone
back in time until the Japanese fleet is found on its way to Pearl
Harbor and two F-14s from the Nimitz shoot down two Japanese A6M
Zeros.
