The time is now. The place is aboard the USS Nimitz, America's mightiest nuclear-powered aircraft carrier on maneuvers in the Pacific Ocean. Suddenly, a freak electrical storm engulfs the ship and triggers the impossible: The Nimitz is hurtled back in time to December 6, 1941, mere hours before the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. As the enemy fleet speeds towards Hawaii, the warship's Captain (Kirk Douglas), a Defense Department expert (Martin Sheen), a maverick Air Wing Commander (James Farentino) and a desperate Senator in the Roosevelt administration (Charles Durning) must choose between the unthinkable. Do they allow the Japanese to complete their murderous invasion or launch a massive counter-strike that will forever change the course of history?
Katharine Ross and Ron O'Neal co-star in this spellbinding sci-fi action hit filmed on location aboard the USS Nimitz with the full participation of the U.S. Navy and the ship's crew. 1980.

世界最強の軍艦といわれる米海軍の原子力空母が太平洋戦争劈頭の真珠湾攻撃時にタイムスリップするというユニークな着想を空前のスケールで映画化したＳＦ巨編。人気の「ファイナル・カウントダウン」サウンドトラック完全版が再発売！ジョン・スコットによるオリジナル・ノーツを掲載した１２ページの新装フルカラーブックレット封入。
トラックリスト岩崎宏美が唄って大ヒットした『火曜サスペンス劇場』のエンディングテーマ『聖母たちのララバイ』はこのサウンドトラックに収録されている「Laurel And Owens」および「Mr. and Mrs.Tideman」が原曲だった事は有名。
このハワイ沖を航行中の米海軍原子力空母ニミッツが突如光る竜巻のような現象に遭遇した。その直後、一切の基地や艦艇との通信が途絶し、イーランド艦長（K・ダグラス）以下乗組員たちに緊張が走る。イーランドは事態を把握すべく、艦載機を発進させるが、偵察機が目撃したのは旧式戦艦群が並ぶ真珠湾だった。そして、F14戦闘機隊は旧日本海軍の零戦と遭遇する。
米海軍の全面協力を得て当時最新鋭空母だったニミッツで撮影が行われ、F14戦闘機をはじめとする艦載機の発着や飛行シーンなど迫力の映像が続出。カーク・ダグラス、マーティン・シーン、キャサリン・ロスなど実力派スターの熱演も緊迫のストーリーを盛り上げる。
監督：ドン・テイラー。1980年米。
