Pearl: Story, Cast and Series Facts

Story and premise

December 7, 1941. It's a gorgeous Sunday like many before it in the paradise of Hawaii. It's also a day unlike any other. It is 7:55 a.m. and bombs are falling on Pearl Harbor. Lives once measured in the day-to-day of living have suddenly come down to moments to be survived. The emotional heart of the story is the deadly surprise attack itself. Enemy planes swoop from above. Sailors scramble to fight back. Cannons thunder. Metal explodes. The sea burns. It is a day which will live in infamy, the beginning of WWII for the United States.
