It also starred Kirk Douglas. I think it either came out in 1980 or 1981. How they got to 1945 and back was a little hokey, but once they were there, I kinda liked the story line. I especially liked the part where they were trying to find out where they are, so they send out a few fighters on a scouting mission. There is a fishing boat drifting around, so they make a slow pass at about 600 mph. A senator is a passenger on the boat. Confusion reigns on said boat: "What the HELL was that?" "I don't know, but they must be ours, they have U.S. markings" "The damn defense department never tells us Anything!!" (or something like that) -- Walt Tucker Tektronix, Inc.
