A BRIDGE TOO FAR - 1977 Dir. Richard Attenborough
In September 1944, flush with success after the Normandy Invasion, the Allies confidently launched Operation Market Garden, a wild scheme intended to put an early end to the fighting by invading Germany and smashing the Reich's war plants. However, a combination of battlefield politics, faulty intelligence, bad luck and worse weather led to disaster.
An epic retelling of World War II's most tragic blunder, A Bridge Too Far meticulously depicts the ambitious plan which resulted in more Allied casualties than the entire Normandy landing. Painstakingly re-created on actual battlefield locations and boasting a remarkable all-star cast, A Bridge Too Far accurately recaptures the monumental scope, excitement and danger behind one of the biggest military gambles in history. Stars Laurence Olivier, Elliott Gould, Edward Fox, Ryan O'Neal, Maximillian Schell, Liv Ullmann, Gene Hackman, Sean Connery, Anthony Hopkins, Michael Caine, Robert Redford & James Caan.
