"Appointment in Tokyo" is a 1945 propaganda film released shortly after the surrender of Japan. It mainly follows General MacArthur and his men from their exile from the Philippines in early 1942, through the signing of the instrument of surrender on the USS "Missouri" on September 1 1945.

The film is notable for its discussion of the problems MacArthur face in Australia after the conquest of the Philippines, the American militaries "hit'em where they ain't" strategy through the Solomons and Papua New Guinea, and especially the footage from the reconquest of the Philippines, including of Battle of Leyte, the Battle of Manila, and the rescue of American and Filipino POWs from Japanese prison camps.
