On September 1st, a surge of new additions brought the romantic war drama film “Pearl Harbor” (2001) by Michael Bay to streaming on Hulu. Often compared to James Cameron’s “Titanic,” Pearl Harbor shares a similar narrative theme. Set against the turbulent backdrop of World War II, the movie follows Ben Affleck and Josh Hartnett as friends who enlist as pilots. Deployed at distinct battlefronts, their lives intertwine in a romantic triangle with Evelyn, played by Kate Beckinsale, amid the Pearl Harbor attack in Hawaii in 1941. The film, produced by Bay and Jerry Bruckheimer, was written by Randall Wallace and features an ensemble cast that includes Cuba Gooding Jr., Tom Sizemore, Jon Voight, Colm Feore, and Alec Baldwin.
