MIDWAY centers on the Battle of Midway, a clash between the American fleet and the Imperial Japanese Navy which marked a pivotal turning point in the Pacific Theater during WWII. The film, based on the real-life events of this heroic feat, tells the story of the leaders and soldiers who used their instincts, fortitude and bravery to overcome the odds.
Even film executives know there are some titles that shouldn’t be touched. For many movie fans, “The Wizard of Oz” falls into that category. Yes, we’ve had a musical spin on the tale (1978’s “The Wiz”) and various prequels and spinoffs (1985’s “Return to Oz,” 2013’s “Oz the Great and Powerful”).
