"The 1970 film — a joint American and Japanese production — is considered one of the most accurate depictions of events leading up to the 1941 Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor. "

I have an anecdote about the film.
In 1969, an old friend was on a navy ship steaming back from Vietnam, approaching Pearl Harbor just after dawn.

Over their heads, just above the masts of the ship flew a formation of Japanese torpedo bombers. They were headed into the full-scale recreation of the Pearl Harbor attack for Tora, Tora, Tora. He said it was a chilling experience for its reality and authenticity.
