Midway is a 2019 war film about the Battle of Midway, a turning point in the Pacific Theater of World War II.

The film stars Ed Skrein, Patrick Wilson, Luke Evans, Aaron Eckhart, Nick Jonas, Mandy Moore, Dennis Quaid, Tadanobu Asano, Darren Criss and Woody Harrelson.
The film was a passion project of Emmerich s, and he had trouble getting financial support for the film before finally raising sufficient funds and officially announcing the project in 2017. Much of the cast joined in summer 2018, and filming began in Hawaii that September. Some filming also took place in Montreal. With a production budget of $100 million, it is to date one of the most expensive independent films of all time.
Midway was theatrically released by Lionsgate in the United States on November 8, 2019 and received mixed reviews from critics, who praised the visuals but criticized the screenplay. The film was a box office bomb, grossing only $126 million worldwide against a $100 million budget.

This article s plot summary may be too long or excessively detailed. (April 2022)

In December 1937 in Tokyo, American naval attaché intelligence officer Lieutenant Commander Edwin T. Layton and his counterpart are discussing the US and Japanese positions in the Pacific Ocean during a state function. Layton is warned by Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto that if the Japanese oil supply is threatened by the US, the Japanese will take immediate action.
On December 7, 1941, the Japanese use their carrier fleet to strike at Pearl Harbor. The attack leads the US to enter World War II. Naval aviator Lieutenant Dick Best and the Air Group (CAG) of the carrier USS Enterprise fail to find the Japanese carrier fleet, exacerbating his rivalry with his commanding officer Lieutenant Commander Eugene E. Lindsey. Admiral Yamamoto, with the support of Rear Admiral Tamon Yamaguchi, propose his most audacious plan yet—the invasion of Midway Island using the four available carriers of the Kido Butai, but are overruled by the Army. Enterprise launches raids against the Marshall Islands in February 1942. During an attack by Mitsubishi G3M Nell bombers, one crippled Nell turns back towards the ship in a suicide ramming attempt but Aviation Machinist s Mate Third Class Bruno Gaido shoots the aircraft down from a parked Dauntless. The crashing bomber slices Gaido s Dauntless in half but he survives. Vice Admiral William Bull Halsey, impressed by Gaido s courage, promotes him to Aviation Machinist s Mate First Class. In April 1942, following Lieutenant Colonel Jimmy Doolittle s raid on the Japanese mainland, Yamamoto, Yamaguchi and Vice Admiral Chuichi Nagumo are finally allowed to begin their plan to attack Midway.
In May 1942, following the Battle of the Coral Sea, Layton, along with Joseph Rochefort and his cryptology team begin intercepting messages concerning a location the Japanese identify as AF . Layton speaks with Admiral Chester Nimitz, who informs him that Washington believes AF to be a target in the South Pacific. Layton disagrees, believing the intended target to be Midway Atoll. After meeting with Rochefort, Nimitz instructs the team to find a way to definitively prove that AF is Midway. After Layton instructs Midway to telegraph in the clear (unencrypted) that they are suffering a water shortage, cryptologists working for Rochefort intercept Japanese communications concerning water shortages on AF , confirming that AF is indeed Midway.
In preparation for an ambush of the Japanese fleet, Nimitz orders carriers USS Hornet and Enterprise recalled from the Coral Sea and demands that the damaged USS Yorktown be made ready for combat operations. During the preparations, Best is briefly demoralized after one of his proteges crashes during a takeoff, but he receives encouragement from the Commander of the Air Group (CAG) of the Enterprise, Wade McCluskey. Best and Lindsey set aside their differences and work together to prepare for the attack. Halsey is put on shore leave by Nimitz after receiving a bad case of the shingles and is temporarily replaced by Raymond A. Spruance.
On June 4, the Japanese launch an air attack against Midway. Initial attempts by US land-based aircraft to strike at the Japanese fleet carriers fail despite a crashing bomber narrowly missing the bridge of the Akagi. Nagumo and Captain Minoru Genda are left shaken by the Americans’ unexpected bravery. The Japanese fleet learn of the presence of the American carriers. American submarine USS Nautilus unsuccessfully attacks a Japanese carrier and is chased off by Japanese destroyer Arashi. Lindsey and other American torpedo squadrons attack the Japanese fleet but are shot down. Realising that the attacks are preventing the fleet from launching their counterstrike, Yamaguchi orders Nagumo to launch his strike as soon as he can. Best suffers from respiratory issues resulting in coughing up blood after breathing a bad mix of oxygen but leads his and McCluskey s squadrons into battle. Upon spotting the Arashi, McClusky correctly infers the Japanese destroyer is rushing back to the main Japanese fleet and leads his planes to follow its course. Arriving to find the Japanese Combat Air Patrol out of position due to the torpedo attacks, the dive-bombers score several hits on Akagi, Kaga and Sōryū, resulting in fires and further explosions due to unsecured ordnance. Nagumo, demoralized and in a state of shock, is persuaded by Genda to transfer his flag to a cruiser. Frank Woodrow O Flaherty and Gaido are shot down, picked up by the Japanese and executed. Yamaguchi, aboard Hiryu, who is more willing to fight, launches a strike wave that succeeds in crippling Yorktown, prompting Enterprise and Hornet to launch their remaining aircraft. Best leads the squadron, which successfully heavily damage the Hiryu. Admiral Yamaguchi and Captain Tomeo Kaku go down with their command as Hiryu is scuttled.
Yamamoto receives news that his carrier force has been destroyed. After learning that the American fleet has withdrawn, thus depriving him of the chance to use his main force of battleships to win a night battle against the American fleet, he orders a general withdrawal. At Pearl Harbor, Rochefort intercepts the Japanese order to withdraw and passes it to Layton, who then informs Nimitz and his elated staff. Best, who is unable to fly again due to his lung problems, later diagnosed as tuberculosis, walks into his family s waiting arms.

Production
On May 23, 2017, it was reported that Roland Emmerich would be directing the World War II film Midway. Due to its potential lofty budget (with estimates putting its needed cost at $125 million), Emmerich had trouble getting the film greenlit. When no major studio would bankroll the project, he cut down on potential battle sequences and turned to individuals for the funds, resulting in $76 million; he then got an additional $24 million in equity, mostly from Chinese investors, resulting in the film s $100 million budget. It is one of the most costly independent films ever made. Emmerich had previously attempted to mount the film at Sony Pictures in the 1990s, with William Goldman becoming interested in the project. However, as with the final rendition, executives balked at the proposed $100 million budget ($152 million by 2019 inflation), and Emmerich moved on to direct The Patriot.
Harald Kloser also produced the film.
In April 2018, Woody Harrelson and Mandy Moore joined the ensemble cast for the film. In July 2018, Luke Evans was cast in the film to play Lieutenant Commander Wade McClusky, who was awarded the Navy Cross for his role in the Battle of Midway. Robby Baumgartner was hired as cinematographer. August saw the additions of Patrick Wilson, Ed Skrein, Aaron Eckhart, Nick Jonas, Tadanobu Asano, Dennis Quaid, and others to the cast. Darren Criss, Alexander Ludwig, and Brandon Sklenar were cast in September. Filming began on September 5, 2018, in Honolulu, Hawaii. It was also shot in Montreal, Quebec.
In November 2018, it was announced that VFX company Scanline VFX will be the main VFX vendor, and that Pixomondo had signed on to provide additional visual effects.

Critical response
On review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds an approval rating of 42% based on 169 reviews and an average rating of 5.2/10. The site s critics consensus reads: Midway revisits a well-known story with modern special effects and a more balanced point of view, but its screenplay isn t quite ready for battle. On Metacritic, the film has a weighted average score of 47 out of 100 based on 28 critics, indicating mixed or average reviews . Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of A on an A+ to F scale, while those at PostTrak gave it an average 4 out of 5 stars, with 58% saying they would definitely recommend it.
Barry Hertz of The Globe and Mail gave the film a score of 2/4 stars, describing it as a Second World War epic that runs a comparatively paltry 138 minutes yet feels about five times as long , concluding that the film was a choppy bore, its main source of intrigue centred around whatever New Jersey-ese accent British actor Ed Skrein is attempting as dive bomber Richard Best. Michael O Sullivan of The Washington Post gave the film a score of 2.5/4 stars, saying that it tells a story that’s vividly and viscerally rendered, with all the entertainment value of a big, old-fashioned war movie , but added: the kiss-kiss never really registers with quite the same impact as the bang-bang. Wendy Ide of The Observer gave the film a score of 2/5 stars, writing: Every tired war movie cliche is unearthed in a film that brings nothing new but will no doubt please fans of men in uniform yelling at explosions.
Paul Byrnes of The Sydney Morning Herald gave the film a score of 3/5 stars, describing it as one of better films , but added: There are a number of earlier versions to pick from, including John Ford s original 18-minute Oscar-winning documentary. We didn t need a new one, unless he had something new to say or a new way to say it. To both questions, the answer is no. Owen Gleiberman of Variety wrote: The film s drama is B-movie basic. But the destructive colliding metal-on-metal inferno of what war is what makes Midway a picture worth seeing. Kenneth Turan of the Los Angeles Times described the film as being so square, so old-school and old-fashioned, it almost feels avant-garde , adding: It aims to celebrate heroism, sacrifice, determination and grit, and if you don’t like that it really does not care.
Historical accuracy
While the film takes some artistic license, Emmerich and Tooke were both adamant about being historically accurate, and Midway received praise from some combat veterans and historians for being more accurate of events than Midway (1976) and Pearl Harbor (2001). Naval History and Heritage Command director and retired Navy Rear Admiral Sam Cox said: Despite some of the Hollywood aspects, this is still the most realistic movie about naval combat ever made.
Several seemingly Hollywood-ized events depicted in the film, such as Bruno Gaido sprinting into a parked plane in an effort to shoot down a crippled plane attempting to crash into the Enterprise, then getting on-spot promoted, occurred as shown, though according to USA Today, Gaido hid after shooting the plane down, afraid he was going to get in trouble for leaving his battle station. They had to hunt him down and bring him to Halsey , says.
