"The Japanese are planning something bigger." "So what's the target?" Lionsgate has debuted a new full-length official trailer for Roland Emmerich's big action movie Midway, about the iconic Battle of Midway during World War II - known as "The Battle That Turned The War". The battle took place across three days in June of 1942, only six months after Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor. The United States Navy defeated an attacking fleet of the Imperial Japanese Navy near Midway Atoll, inflicting devastating damage on the main Japanese fleet. Military historian John Keegan called it "the most stunning and decisive blow in the history of naval warfare". This ensemble war action movie stars Woody Harrelson, Jake Weber, Luke Evans, Mandy Moore, Patrick Wilson, Brennan Brown, Ed Skrein, Aaron Eckhart, Alexander Ludwig, Nick Jonas, Tadanobu Asano, Dennis Quaid, Darren Criss, and Keean Johnson. Looks like it has tons of heavy action, as expected, with tons of characters to follow as they head into the battle of all battles.

Here's the full-length official trailer (+ poster) for Roland Emmerich's Midway, from Lionsgate's YouTube:
