It features a large ensemble cast, including Ben Affleck, Alec Baldwin, Jon Voight, Josh Hartnett, Kate Beckinsale, Cuba Gooding, Jr., Dan Aykroyd, Colm Feore, Mako, Tom Sizemore, Jaime King, and Jennifer Garner. It is a dramatic re-imagining of the Empire of Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor Naval Base and the subsequent Doolittle Raid and was produced by Bay and Jerry Bruckheimer, who had previously worked on blockbusters such as Bad Boys, The Rock and Armageddon.

Plot
United States Army Air Corps First Lieutenants Rafe McCawley (Affleck) and Danny Walker (Hartnett) are childhood friends and reckless, but talented pilots under the command of Major Jimmy Doolittle (Baldwin). McCawley volunteers to serve with the Royal Air Force's Eagle Squadrons. He meets Evelyn Johnson (Beckinsale), a Navy nurse, before leaving for England; Johnson and Walker are transferred to Pearl Harbor. In Japan, Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto plans an attack on Pearl Harbor after the U.S. freezes its trade.

McCawley is shot down in combat over the English Channel and presumed killed in action. While mourning for McCawley, Walker and Johnson have an intimate encounter and begin dating. On the day Johnson discovers that she is pregnant, McCawley returns after three months in occupied France; Walker and Johnson's relationship estranges McCawley from them. After a fight the two men begin to reconcile, but are interrupted by the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor.

The surprise Japanese air raid sinks the USS Arizona (BB-39), USS Oklahoma (BB-37), and many other ships. While Johnson and other nurses struggle to help the wounded, McCawley and Walker shoot down seven Japanese aircraft with P-40s using their reckless tactics. The heroes are both promoted to Captain, awarded the Silver Star and assigned to now-Colonel Doolittle for a dangerous and top-secret mission. Prior to leaving, Johnson reveals to McCawley her love for him, pregnancy, and intention to stay with Walker, since the child is his.

President Franklin D. Roosevelt (Voight) wants to send a message that the Japanese homeland is not immune from bombing. Walker, McCawley, and others are to fly B-25 Mitchell medium bombers from the aircraft carrier USS Hornet (CV-8), bomb Tokyo, and land in China. The two men succeed in their bombing but are captured by the Imperial Japanese Army in China. Walker gives his life to save McCawley, who promises to raise Walker's son. The film closes with McCawley, Johnson, and Danny (Walker and Johnson's son) visiting Walker's grave.
