Midway is a historical war film based on true events that occurred during the Battle of Midway, a crucial confrontation between the Imperial Japanese Navy and the United States during World War II. The movie follows the efforts of soldiers and aviators who played a pivotal role in turning the tide of the war.

The film begins with the attack on Pearl Harbor in December 1941, which catapults the United States into World War II. Following this devastating blow, the Pacific Fleet, led by Admiral Chester Nimitz (played by Woody Harrelson), starts planning a counteroffensive against the Japanese forces.

During this time, Lieutenant Commander Edwin T. Layton (played by Patrick Wilson), a Naval Intelligence Officer, decodes a message indicating that the Japanese are planning a major assault on the strategically located Midway Atoll. Recognizing the significance of this battle, Nimitz assembles a group of dedicated soldiers and aviators, including Lieutenant Richard Halsey Best (played by Ed Skrein), Lieutenant Commander Wade McClusky (played by Luke Evans), Lieutenant Dickie Best (played by Luke Kleintank), and Lieutenant Edwin Kroeger (played by Nick Jonas).

The film goes on to depict the intense preparations and tactics used by both sides leading up to the Battle of Midway. The American forces, heavily outnumbered and outgunned, employ various strategies to gain a crucial advantage. They use intelligence gathered by the codebreakers, led by Commander Joseph Rochefort (played by Brennan Brown), to predict the timing and location of the Japanese attack. Additionally, they focus on their aircraft carriers, mainly the USS Enterprise, USS Hornet, and USS Yorktown, as their primary weapons against the Japanese fleet.

As the battle ensues, the American forces face significant challenges, with both sides suffering heavy losses. However, through their heroic efforts, bravery, and determination, the American soldiers and aviators manage to inflict severe damage on the Japanese fleet. Notably, the film depicts the historic dive-bombing attack led by Lieutenant Commander McClusky, which results in the sinking of four Japanese aircraft carriers.

Ultimately, the Battle of Midway proves to be a decisive turning point in the war. While the Japanese forces suffer a severe setback and their momentum is halted, the United States gains a significant advantage in the Pacific. The sacrifices made by the soldiers and aviators involved in this iconic battle immensely impact the course of World War II.

Midway highlights the bravery and camaraderie of the men who fought in this historic conflict, honoring their collective effort and emphasizing the critical importance of their actions in determining the outcome of the war.
