English Summary:

The Thin Red Line is a 1998 American epic war film written and directed by Terrence Malick. It is the second screen adaptation of the 1962 novel of the same name by James Jones, following the 1964 film; however, this film is not considered a remake. Telling a fictionalized version of the Battle of Mount Austen, which was part of the Guadalcanal Campaign in the Pacific Theater of World War II, it portrays soldiers of C Company, 1st Battalion, 27th Infantry Regiment, 25th Infantry Division, played by Sean Penn, Jim Caviezel, Nick Nolte, Elias Koteas and Ben Chaplin. The novel's title alludes to a line from Rudyard Kipling's poem "Tommy", from Barrack-Room Ballads, in which he calls British foot soldiers "the thin red line of heroes",^[3] referring to the stand of the 93rd Regiment in the Battle of Balaclava of the Crimean War.

Tora! Tora! Tora! (Japanese: トラ・トラ・トラ！) is a 1970 epic war film that dramatizes the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941. The film was produced by Elmo Williams and directed by Richard Fleischer, Toshio Masuda and Kinji Fukasaku, and stars an ensemble cast including Martin Balsam, Joseph Cotten, Sō Yamamura, E. G. Marshall, James Whitmore, Tatsuya Mihashi, Takahiro Tamura, Wesley Addy, and Jason Robards. It was Masuda and Fukasaku's first English-language film, and first non-Japanese film.

In August 1939, the United States imposes a trade embargo on a belligerent Japan, severely limiting raw materials. Influential army figures and politicians push through an alliance with Germany and Italy in September 1940 and prepare for war. The newly appointed Commander-in-Chief of the Combined Fleet, Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto, reluctantly plans a pre-emptive strike on the U.S. Pacific Fleet anchored at Pearl Harbor, believing that Japan's best hope of controlling the Pacific Ocean is to quickly annihilate the American fleet. Air Staff Officer Minoru Genda is chosen to mastermind the operation while his old Naval Academy classmate Mitsuo Fuchida is selected to lead the attack.

Hungarian Summary:

Az őrület határán

1942-ben az amerikaiak és a japánok egy Guadalcanal nevű kis csendes-óceáni sziget, pontosabban egy nagyobb dombjának birtoklásáért vívtak véres csatát. A háború őrült poklában mindenkinek elmegy a maradék józan esze, s hőseink éppúgy viselkednek, mint ellenségeik.

Tora! Tora! Tora!

1941 nyarán az amerikai-japán viszony meglehetősen feszült, de még mindenki abban reménykedik, hogy a vitás kérdéseket sikerül diplomáciai úton rendezni. A japánok azonban már felkészültek egy Pearl Harbour elleni meglepetésszerű támadásra. Az amerikai hírszerzés ugyan figyelemmel követi a japán diplomáciai üzeneteket, de még Washington legbelsőbb körei sem tartják valószínűnek, hogy egy ilyen akció bekövetkezik, ezért nem is készülnek fel rá megfelelően...
