518    Originally produced as a motion picture in 1976. 
520    "This is the way it was--the story of the battle that was 
       the turning point of the war in the Pacific, told wherever
       possible with actual film shot during combat.  It 
       exemplifies the combination of planning, courage, error 
       and pure chance by which great events are often decided." 
       - title screens.  In June of 1942, quite possibly the most
       important naval encounter of WWII took place in the middle
       of the Pacific, at Midway Island.  While fictional, the 
       film uses a great deal of documentary footage of the 
       actual battle, featuring hundreds of ships of all sizes, 
       from patrol boats to battleships and multiple carriers 
       with hundreds of aircraft.  US forces get wind of an 
       imminent Japanese action and tries to sort fact from 
       fiction, while the Japanese plan and execute their own 
       attack plans.  An epic on a grand scale that incorporates 
       a huge cast, the film emphasizes the sheer scale of 
       battles fought in the Pacific theater, which even when 
       victorious, cost hundreds of lives.
