Fierce. Unexpected. The day that changed everything.


Pearl was a 1978 American miniseries on ABC about events leading up to the attack on Pearl Harbor.[1] It starred a large cast, notably Dennis Weaver, Tiana Alexandra, Robert Wagner, Angie Dickinson, Brian Dennehy, Lesley Ann Warren, Gregg Henry, Max Gail, Richard Anderson, Marion Ross, Audra Lindley, Char Fontane, and Adam Arkin. To keep production costs manageable, the scenes of the attack were footage originally shot for the film Tora! Tora! Tora!; the miniseries also used newly-dubbed footage of So Yamamura to portray the Japanese commander of the attack.
