Perhaps a better viewing choice for families is the 1970 movie adaptation of this historical battle called, Tora! Tora! Tora!—a film that portrays the events with minimal violence, some mild profanities, and no romance.
Disney’s Pearl Harbor is similar to Titanic, in that it suffers from getting lost in the romance of it’s fictitious characters who are set in the midst of a real-life tragic occurrence.
