Is there any movie about America invading and seizing Hawaii?


I'm posting this here instead of the politics section because I'm more focused on whether a movie exists.

For those who don't know the story, here's a link:

It would make an epic movie. But American audiences might feel uncomfortable learning how they acquired a very distant island as a US state.
