The Bridges at Toko-Ri

The Bridges at Toko-Ri
It is the Korean War and Lt. Harry Brubaker is a fighter-bomber pilot on the aircraft carrier USS Savo Island. A WW2 veteran and Naval Reserve pilot, he was drafted back into service from civilian life. This makes him quite resentful and cynical about the war. Now he has a dangerous mission to perform, and he is not sure he is up to the task.

"The Bridges at Toko-Ri" centers on the psychological toll of war through the story of a reluctant reservist pilot called back into service. While I found the movie watchable, it failed to deliver a profound emotional impact, especially with the ending, leaving it an average film overall.
