When British P.O.W.s build a vital railway bridge in enemy-occupied Burma, Allied commandos are assigned to destroy it in David Lean`s epic World War II adventure The Bridge on the River Kwai

Spectacularly produced, The Bridge on the River Kwai captured the imagination of the public and won seven 1957 Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Actor, and Best Director. Even its theme song, an old WWI whistling tune, the "Colonel Bogey March," became a massive wordwide hit. The Bridge on the River Kwai continues today as one of the most memorable cinematic experiences of all time.

Wenn auch etwas unglaubwürdig, so ist der Film zumindest spannend und erstklassig besetzt. Der Soundtrack ist übrigens 1A.
