| Synopsis |
: |
Operation Market Garden. A bold plan to drop 35,000 U.S and British paratroops into Eastern Holland and to secure the six major bridges leading to the German border, thus to end the war by the end of 1944. Daring? Yes. Foolhardy? You be the judge.
Based on Cornelius Ryan's best-selling novel, A Bridge Too Far re-creates in stunning detail this controversial episode in military history. Director Sir Richard Attenborough (Gandhi) and writer William Goldman (All the President's Men) bring to life an epic both monumental in its scale and surprising in its subtlety. The all-star cast - Redford, Caine, Connery, Hackman and Olivier to name but a few - give performances notable for their restraint, and for a sense of character achieved economically and without flair (Charles Champlin, Los Angeles Times).
With compelling vignettes, unforgettable images - such as a sky mushroomed with falling parachutists - and starling battle sequences, A Bridge Too Far, says The Hollywood Reporter, 'manages to convey the grisly horror of war and, at the same time, to celebrate the excitement of battle. |
