Nineteen Forty One

In the immediate aftermath of the attack on Pearl Harbor, a small California town is thrown into a panic by the threat of an impending Japanese invasion. Fueled by fear and a complete lack of real information, the townsfolk engage in a series of increasingly absurd and chaotic misadventures as they prepare for an enemy that may never arrive. The military presence, along with the civilian population, exacerbates the situation with their own panicked and often misguided actions.
