"The Final Countdown" starred Kirk Douglas, Martin Sheen, Katherine Ross, and was directed by Don Taylor. The film involved a U.S. nuclear ship that accidentally goes back in time to December 7, 1941, and must decide whether to change history. Some of the scenes were filmed at the Naval Air Station in Key West, and featured the public debut of the USS Nimitz and the F-14 Tomcat.
