Six months after the Japanese destroyed the U.S. Pacific fleet at Pearl Harbor, the Americans discovered the Japanese were planning to seize the Naval base at Midway Island--a perfect staging point for invading Hawaii or the mainland. Outnumbered four to one, the Americans won a surprise victory and shattered the backbone of the Japanese Imperial Navy. This 1976 film feels more like a history lesson than a drama, but World War II buffs will appreciate the attention to historical fact (especially the way in which fate and a few bad decisions turned the tide), as well as the generous use of actual battle footage. The all-star cast includes Robert Mitchum, James Coburn, and Cliff Robertson in cameos and a whole slew of familiar TV faces in supporting roles. Hal Holbrook is fun as an oddball intelligence officer. --Geof Miller
Description
The battle of Midway sounded its furious thunder in June 1942, just six months after the attack on Pearl Harbor. "Midway" interweaves the dramatic personal stories of the men who fought the courageous battle that was to be the Pacific turning point for the United States. The all-star cast also includes Robert Mitchum, Cliff Robertson and Robert Wagner.

 Still a classic December 30, 2008
This Midway DVD is fabulous. The sound is awesome, the cast is exceptional, and it is historically correct. As a Navy wife, I loved it as much as Walking Through Fire, An Iwo Jima Survivor's Remembrance
Midway (Collector's Edition December 23, 2008
A christmas present for my husband. He had been talking about this movie for sometime now so I am giving it to him in 2 days.
 The Only Midway Movie October 4, 2008
This is the only movie about the epic battle of Midway which means that its the one that you'll have to watch to get any taste about this incredible pivotal turning point in the war in the Pacific. What can I say?
*You get some great performances from excellent actors like Henry Fonda.
*There's a melodramatic father and son plot between Heston and a young Edward Arnold over his Japanese girlfriend.
*Historical figures are played by up and coming or known actors.
*A documentary type feel for both the Japanese and American timelines which works to some extent.
*A pastiche of footage from other sources which the filmakers used to 'fill in the gaps' in the plot with an acceptable but sometimes inauthentic feel. You've seen this footage in other movies.
I've always wanted to remake this film. Maybe some day.
Midway (Collector's Edition) September 23, 2008
I have this movie on VHS but the DVD version is outstanding. The sound and quality of the picture are supurb. Just as I remember seeing it when it first came out in the theater.
A great recreation September 16, 2008
The film accurately recreates the single most important sea battle which changed the outcome of the war against the Japanese Empire. The acting is realistic and superb by two of Hollywoods greatest actors, Charlton Heston and Henry Fond.
