It's late 1944, and the Allied armies are confident they'll win the World War II and be home in time for Christmas. What's needed, says British general
Bernard Law Montgomery
, is a knockout punch, a bold strike through Holland, where German troops are spread thin, that will put the Allies into Germany. Paratroops led by British major general
Robert Urquhart
(
Sean Connery
) and American brigadier general
James Gavin
(
Ryan O'Neal
) will seize a thin road and five bridges through Holland into Germany, with paratroops led by
Lieutenant Col. John Frost
(
Sir Anthony Hopkins
) holding the most critical bridge at a small town called Arnhem. Over this road shall pass combined forces led by
British Lieutenant Gen. Brian Horrocks
(
Edward Fox
) and
British Lieutenant Col. Joe Vandeleur
(
Michael Caine
). The plan requires precise timing, so much so that one planner tells
Lieutenant Gen. Frederick Browning
(
Dirk Bogarde
), "Sir, I think we may be going a bridge too far." The plan also has one critical flaw: Instead of a smattering of German soldiers, the area around Arnhem is loaded with crack SS troops. Disaster ensues. Based on a book by historian
Cornelius Ryan
,
A Bridge Too Far
is reminiscent of another movie based on a
Ryan
book,
The Longest Day
. Like that movie, it is loaded with more than 15 international stars, including
Sir Laurence Olivier
,
Robert Redford
,
Hardy Krueger
,
Gene Hackman
,
Maximilian Schell
, and
Liv Ullman
. ~ Nick Sambides, Jr., All Movie Guide
