Trying to find a dvd...it`s a sci-fi one & I saw it in Blockbuster on the shelf

about a month ago & thought to myself, "Hmm, might watch that some time.."
Here`s the rub:- I don`t remember the title! Doh! Anyway, it`s about a US warship that goes back in time to Pearl harbour & the Captain & crew are faced with the dilemma of preventing the attack from ever happening & messing with history.
A film was made in the 80`s, with a time travel theme, The Philadelphia Experiment, but this one was recently made cos it was normal rental price in Blockbuster & had today`s actors in it. I don`t get to see too many films cos my tastes are too selective for most of the crap served up as entertainment in Blockbuster! I hope someone can help me! Cheers, guys!

Entertaining and highly rated exploration of the potential paradox of what if ? It was on the box not long ago and I enjoyed it again at the 4th or 5th viewing. Made in the 80`s It stars Martin Sheen and Kirk Douglas.
Didn`t know it was out on dvd, ( Thanks for that info dave01253 ) at £ 5.00 it certainly will find a home beside Tora Tora Tora ! on my shelves.
