Pearl Harbor 珍珠港（2001） Movie Script

The bomb hits there, and the explosion is almost beyond comprehension. Over 1400 men die instantly.

EXT. PEARL HARBOR - DAY The battleship Arizona leaps into the air, the ship's spine is broken, it's guts ripped open in one explosive instant.

Men on the deck are thrown into the burning oil already floating on the water from the other ruptured ships, but there are almost no survivors.

The concussion of the explosion blows men off the repair ship Vestal, next to the Arizona, saving Vestal, as the explosion snuffs out the fires on Vestal; it also sends tons of debris down on her decks -- parts of the ship, legs, arms and heads of men, all sorts of bodies.

Debris from the Arizona also cover the Tennessee and does more damage than the two Japanese bombs that hit her.

INT. HOSPITAL - HALLWAY - DAY Medics have already started bringing in the wounded. Evelyn is like a frantic traffic cop.

EVELYN:

Put criticals in ward one, stables in two! Barbara! Fill every syringe you can find with stimulant and antibiotic --

MEDIC:

Where are the doctors?

EVELYN:

On the third tee.

SANDRA:

Evelyn! Where's the morphine?

THE FRONT WARD:

Evelyn runs in, snaps open the cabinet, grabs a bag of morphine sticks, and is about to run out again when she sees the Arizona go up.

For a moment she's frozen, then she actually sees the shock wave traveling across the bay and through the trees like an invisible wall. She's trying to cross her arms over her face, and dive to the floor, just as the windows blow out from the concussion, and glass flies over everything.

INT. JAPANESE BOMBER - DAY They see the results of their bomb, and are ecstatic.

EXT. AIR ABOVE OAHU - DAY The nose of Danny's plane is pointed right at the harbor and he sees the sudden devastation of the Arizona. It is a sight so awesome it freezes him for a moment.

A Zero comes up behind him, firing. Danny jerks his stick to maneuver but he's caught... Rafe comes in behind the Zero, chopping it up, even as he yells at Danny over the radio --

RAFE:

Ain't no time for spectatin'!

They turn back after the line of Zeros. There are some Japanese planes coming after them now, but the P-40's head at their noses, firing, then duck past in a double maneuver, and turn right back into the Japanese formation.

Rafe has a plane in his sights, but his guns fire only a short burst before stopping.

RAFE:

I'm out of ammo!

DANNY:

I'm out of fuel!

They head back. A single Zero is on their way. Rafe charges it and draws its fire; Danny comes in behind the Zero and rakes its cockpit; the Japanese pilot backs off.

The P-40's dive back toward Haleiwa.

A handful of Zeros returning from Pearl see them and follow.

EXT. PACIFIC - JAPANESE CARRIERS - DAY The second wave of planes takes off from the carriers.

INT. FLIGHT CONTROL CENTER - CARRIER AKAGI - DAY Genda reports to Yamamoto.
