2. Dünya Savaşı’nda, Amerika’nın sabrının taşmasına neden olan Pearl Harbor baskınını, hem Japonlar’ın hem de Amerikalılar’ın bakış açılarıyla anlatmayı deneyen, gösterişli bir ortak yapım. Baskının öncesi ve sonrasında yaşanan olaylar dizisini de perdeye taşıyan “Tora! Tora! Tora!”, özellikle o ünlü saldırı sahnelerinde ürkütücü bir gerçekçiliği yakalamayı başarıyor. Film, 1939 yılında Amiral Isoroku Yamamoto’nun Japon Kraliyet Donanması’nın komutasını üzerine almasıyla başlar. Eğitimini Harvard’da tamamlamış, ateşli bir milliyetçi olan komutan, önceleri Amerika’yla yapılacak bir savaşa karşı olmasına rağmen, zamanla fikrini değiştirir. Japonya’nın, Asya’nın en güçlü devleti olma arzusu onu da etkiler ve vargücüyle Amerikalılar’la savaşmaya hazırlanır. Öte yandan ABD cephesinde, Japonya’nın egemenliğine karşı çıkma hazırlıkları başlar.
