The Final Countdown is a 1980 American alternate-history science-fiction war film about a modern nuclear-powered super-aircraft carrier that travels through time to the day before the December 7, 1941, attack on Pearl Harbor.
Scannán cogaidh ficsean eolaíochta malartach de stair Mheiriceá 1980 is ea an Final Countdown faoi iompróir sár-aerárthach faoi thiomáint núicléach nua- aimseartha a thaistealaíonn trí am go dtí an lá roimh an 7 Nollaig, 1941, ar Pearl Harbour.
In 1980, the aircraft carrier USS Nimitz is departing Naval Station Pearl Harbor for naval exercises in the mid-Pacific Ocean.
I 1980, tá an t-iompróir aerárthaigh USS Nimitz ag imeacht ó Pearl Harbour an Stáisiúin Chabhlaigh le haghaidh cleachtaí cabhlaigh i lár an Aigéin Chiúin.
The ship takes on a civilian observer US Defense Department efficiency expert Warren Lasky (Martin Sheen) on the orders of his reclusive employer, Mr.
Glacann an long le breathnadóir sibhialta saineolaí éifeachtúlachta Roinn Cosanta na Stát Aontaithe Warren Lasky (Martin Sheen) ar orduithe a fhostóra athghabhála, an tUas.
Tideman, whose secretive major defense contractor company designed and built the nuclear-powered warship.
Tideman, a dhear agus a thóg a chuideachta rúnda conraitheora cosanta an long chogaidh faoi thiomáint núicléach.
Once at sea, the Nimitz encounters a mysterious electrically-charged storm-like vortex.
Nuair a bhíonn sé ar muir, casann an Nimitz ar vortex mistéireach stoirm- luchtaithe le leictreachas.
While the ship passes through it, radar and other equipment becomes unresponsive and everyone aboard falls into agony.
Cé go dtéann an long tríd, éiríonn radar agus trealamh eile neamhfhreagrach agus bíonn gach duine ar bord ag dul in olcas.
Initially unsure of what has happened to them, and having lost radio contact with US Pacific Fleet Command at Pearl Harbor, Captain Yelland (Kirk Douglas), commander of the aircraft carrier, fears that there may have been a nuclear strike on Hawaii or the continental United States.
Níl sé cinnte ar dtús cad a tharla dóibh, agus tar éis teagmháil raidió a chailleadh le US Pacific Fleet Command ag Pearl Harbour, tá faitíos ar an gCaptaen Yelland (Kirk Douglas), ceannasaí an iompróra aerárthaigh go bhféadfadh stailc núicléach a bheith ann ar Haváí nó ar an mór-roinn Stáit Aontaithe.
He orders general quarters and launches an RF-8 Crusader reconnaissance aircraft.
Ordaíonn sé ceathrúna ginearálta agus seolann sé aerárthach taiscéalaíochta RF- 8 Crusader.
The aircraft returns after photographing Hawaii but the images appear to date from 1941, showing an intact row of US Pacific fleet battleships moored on “Battleship Row” at Pearl Harbor, a sight which has not existed for four decades.
Filleann an t-aerárthach tar éis dó grianghraf a thógáil de Haváí ach is cosúil go dtéann na híomhánna siar ó 1941, ag taispeáint sraith slán de longa cogaidh chabhlach na SA san Aigéan Ciúin atá feistithe ar “Battleship Row” ag Pearl Harbour, radharc nach bhfuil ann le ceithre scór bliain.
When a surface contact is spotted on the radar, Yelland launches the ready alert, with two Grumman F-14 Tomcat fighter jets from VF-84, to intercept.
Nuair a fheictear teagmháil dromchla ar an radar, seolann Yelland an foláireamh réidh, le dhá scaird trodaire Grumman F-14 Tomcat ó VF-84, chun tascradh a dhéanamh.
The patrol witnesses a civilian wooden yacht, Gatsby, being strafed and destroyed by two Imperial Japanese Navy Mitsubishi A6M “Zero” fighters, killing three of the crew members.
Tá luamh adhmaid sibhialta, Gatsby, mar fhinné ar an bpatról, á scriosadh agus á scriosadh ag beirt trodaithe Mitsubishi A6M “Zero” de chuid Chabhlach na Seapáine, ag marú triúr de bhaill an chriú.
The F-14s are ordered to drive off the Zeros without firing, but when the Zeros inadvertently head towards the Nimitz, Yelland gives clearance to shoot them down.
Ordaítear do na F-14s na Zeros a thiomáint amach gan lámhaigh, ach nuair a théann na Zeros go neamhaireach i dtreo an Nimitz, tugann Yelland imréiteach chun iad a lámhach.
The Nimitz rescues survivors from the yacht: prominent US Senator Samuel Chapman (Charles Durning), his aide Laurel Scott (Katherine Ross), her dog Charlie, and one of the two downed Zero pilots (Soon-Tek Oh).
Tarrthálann an Nimitz marthanóirí ón luamh: Seanadóir feiceálach na SA Samuel Chapman (Charles Durning), a aide Laurel Scott (Katherine Ross), a madra Charlie, agus duine den bheirt phíolótaí nialasacha (Soon-Tek Oh).
Commander Owens (James Farentino), an amateur historian, recognizes Chapman as a politician who could have been Franklin D.
Aithníonn an Ceannasaí Owens (James Farentino), staraí amaitéarach, Chapman mar pholaiteoir a d’fhéadfadh a bheith ina Franklin D.
Roosevelts running mate (and his potential successor) during his final re-election bid, had Chapman not disappeared shortly before the attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941.
Níor éirigh le Chapman (agus a chomharba ionchasach) le linn a iarratais atoghcháin deiridh, Chapman imithe go gairid roimh an ionsaí ar Pearl Harbour an 7 Nollaig 1941.
