Tora! Tora! Tora!
Tora! Tora! Tora! (Japanese: トラ・トラ・トラ) is a 1970 American–Japanese war film that dramatizes the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. The film was directed by Richard Fleischer and stars an ensemble cast, including Martin Balsam, Joseph Cotten, Sō Yamamura, E. G. Marshall, James Whitmore and Jason Robards.The title is the Japanese codeword used to indicate that complete surprise had been achieved. Tora (虎, pronounced [tòɽá]) literally means ""tiger"", but in this case was an acronym for totsugeki raigeki (突撃雷撃, ""lightning attack"").
