A Bridge Too Far

Synopsis

The story of one of the most notorious Allied wartime disasters is told in this big, all-star drama. It happened late in World War Two, and involved a massive parachute drop into the Netherlands by British, American and Polish troops. The film details exactly how this ambitious plan fell apart, not least because officers were terrified of telling their commanders they were wrong, with the loss of thousands of troops and delaying the end of the war by months.
