The story of Operation Market Garden—a failed attempt by the allies in the latter stages of WWII to end the war quickly by securing three bridges in Holland allowing access over the Rhine into Germany. A combination of poor allied intelligence and the presence of two crack German panzer divisions meant that the final part of this operation (the bridge in Arnhem over the Rhine) was doomed to failure.

A Bridge Too Far Ratings & Reviews

  • Mister ArnMay 19, 2025
    An overreaching epic war movie that tells one too many incomplete stories.
  • 匚卂尺ㄥFebruary 2, 2025
    Great war movie, but I haven't watched it yet. From what I can remember it is a great movie, unless the quality of the video after all those years are not as good as when it was published. Until I watch it, I can't say.
