Director Richard Attenborough's ambitious, all-star, adaptation of Cornelius Ryan's book, dealing with the true account of the Battle of Arnhem. In 1944, the Allied powers attempted to expedite the end of the war by planning an ambitious and costly operation (the capturing of six bridges connecting Holland to Germany) that ended up getting bungled by both the Allied and Axis powers.

Reviews for A Bridge Too Far
Consistently reinforces the horrors of war by depicting not only the disasterous military engagements and their toll on heroes, but also the witless political decisions that led to needless, excessive loss of life. [Blu-Ray]
Though overlong, muddled, ponderous and overbaked, it's not without some impressive moments.
Dozens of stars do not a classic WWII flick make. James Caan fares best of them all in a memorable sequence.
Recreates this complicated and tragic military venture with breathtaking sweep, historical accuracy and sober-eyed humanism.
