The Battle of Midway Gets a Hollywood Movie Just as Real Life Wreck Is Found

The Battle of Midway changed the course of history, and its story is being told again in the new Roland Emmerich film, “Midway.” The movie’s cast includes Nick Jonas, Mandy Moore, Woody Harrelson and Patrick Wilson. What’s the true story of Midway? In 1942, just months after Pearl Harbor, the Japanese fleet moved to attack the U.S. installation at Midway atoll. Though the attack was intended as a surprise, Americans had intercepted Japanese radio transmissions, tipping them off to the raid.
