The WWII Yamato Warship Film THE GREAT WAR OF ARCHIMEDES Trailer

Go USA has released a trailer for Toho’s Japanese World War II movie The Great War of Archimedes. The film is based on the 2015 manga series Archimedes no Taisen, it is a true story of the behind-the-scenes efforts that the Japanese Navy had while producing the Yamato Warship, which was the biggest battleship in the world, prior to WWII.

This is the real story of the Yamato warship that actually existed. The movie was directed by Takashi Yamazaki of Space Battleship Yamato.

Pre-World War II, the Japanese Navy commissioned the design and creation of the impressive “supership” Yamato, strongly opposed by a top official insisting on more strategic and battle-ready warships. After being ignored without cause, Admiral Yamamoto (Hiroshi Tachi) recruits a math genius to help uncover what he soon suspects is a massive conspiracy.

The movie stars Suda Masaki, Emoto Tasuku, Hamabe Minami, Shofukutei Tsurube, Kobayashi Katsuya, and Hiroshi Tachi as Admiral Yamamoto.
