Released in 1970 this movie was all about the attack on Pearl Harbour and was released in both Japan and America it was directed by Richard Fleischer and according to wikipedia the casted was deliberately chosen not to be recognised box-office stars so as to put more attention on the story.
The title came from one of the Japanese code words used in the attack, it indicated that 'complete surprise' had been achieved. The word Tora literally means 'Tiger' however in this case it was the combination of the words Totsugeki Raigeki which apparently means "lightning attack".
